animotek.bsky.social @animotek.bsky.social · 23hThe problem is we've been *giving* the country the opportunity and the've rejected it each time. I'm not defending the underlying prejudice and misogyny but it will take a lot of time to reverse this administration's harmful policies and broken int'l relations so I'd prefer to put up a surer thing. 120
animotek.bsky.social @animotek.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I don't know about telephones but answering machines initially were considered rude and impersonal by many.

animotek.bsky.social @animotek.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Changed my mind: my original idea for a perfect Trump end that conspiracy theorists couldn't touch was falling headfirst off a stage while doing his two-fisted pump dance. However, now I think never waking up at a televised press conference while people are praising his energy would be even better. 000

animotek.bsky.social @animotek.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I think this depends on whether the context is "I'm not going to vote for my favorite candidate because I don't think they're electable" or being realistic about the factors that might make one candidate more electable or more problematic on a national level. 001
