  • Well, most dentists would recommend most toothpaste. They’re a lot more concerned with making sure people are brushing regularly than they are with worrying about the brand of toothpaste they use.

    That kinda means the exceptions are weird and highly dependent on the dentist and toothpaste brand involved. Maybe they think it’s overpriced, maybe they think it’s less effective, maybe they have ethical concerns about the parent corporation (looking at you, Crest), maybe they’re super picky about what they recommend, maybe they’ve never heard of the brand before, maybe they just got lousy swag from the company rep and they’re being petty. It could be all kinds of things, and the ads certainly won’t tell you what they are.

    Why? Now the Democrats are going to start tearing each other apart and in the end they’ll pick someone even worse and now we’re even more likely to end up with Trump winning. The only people who ever had a problem with Biden being old were the people who had already made up their minds.



  • I mean, stopping fascists from gaining power is a pretty good way of stopping fascists from gaining power. If the government is to incompetent and/or uninterested in running the country to actually fix the issues people are pissed off about it’s only a stopgap solution, but a stopgap is better than nothing. If you have an actual plan for how to go about the process of creating an actual better system in the real world starting from where we are then by all means feel free to share, but until then voting will save lives.



  • If you think the US government gives a shit about “millions in bribes” then you have no idea how numbers work.

    I’m not delusional enough to think I’m voting for a leftist. That’s never what Biden was. I’m voting to stop fascism. Socialism isn’t going to win at the ballot box. Elections are how we stop things from getting worse while implementing real solutions. If all you’re doing is whining about presidents then you are a bad leftist.


  • Not doing everything possible to prevent something is not the same as actively doing it. It’s still bad, but if you seriously think it would be a good idea to let fascists take over America because Biden isn’t marching troops into Gaza or whatever it is you want him to do, then hopefully there are enough sane people left to make you irrelevant.
