    If we can get Kamala drinking a beer and shooting bottles off a fence with her Glock, she may just win over some right wing voters

          I know, it was a joke leaning into what those people would like. I don’t know how Keanu Reeves votes, but that would probably work even better. But how cool would it be to hear “and Austin 3:16 says Kamala just whooped your ass”

        I’m convinced comments like yours are pro Trump bullshit trying to muddy the waters. What are you trying to do? Say Kamala bad cause Israel. Ignoring the fact that Trump would nuke Gaza rather than save it. That or you’re trying to dissuade Kamala voters, so they stay home, or so they vote third party all which benefits only Trump and accelerates the destruction of Palestine

        If none of the federal candidates supports your side. Then it’s not an election issue. They cancel each other out, It’s a moot point in the election and should be dealt with through Congress and Senate. Though to say the Democrats and GOP are equal on this issue is bullshit, since the only politicians speaking out are Democrats

            Better than bowing down to someone who will call Trump Hitler, then adopt his border policy.

            But fuck Immigrants, right? That’s a democratic value, right?

                I’d appreciate it if you stopped supporting genocide and Trump’s border policy, but you’re doing that. So…… I’m gonna keep calling you out for it.

                Is this the America you want? Where a democrat is deporting immigrants?

                Is this the America you want, where you are supplying weapons to a country that is killing innocent people?

                You represent America well.

          But you’ll blame that on me, who won’t vote for genocide, rather than the candidate that supported genocide. And also supports Trump’s border wall and deportations.

          But go ahead and downvote me, you little sweethearts.

              Who’s the idiot? I never said Trump is anti genocide. I said I simply WONT VOTE FOR GENOCIDE.

              Sorry your candidate supports genocide, I will never. But you do you, homie. Whatever helps your [REDACTED] sleep at night.

              I just hope you’re ready for the America you support: a reactionary one. Not that it isn’t already, but just look in the mirror. “Oh, you want to criticize Kamala, you MUST SUPPORT TRUMP”.

              You are a fascist. You don’t care about ethics or morality. You don’t give a fuck about anything except some “anything but Trump” bullshit.

              Hey, [REDACTED], what is KillEmAla’s border and immigration policy. Almost exactly the same as Trump’s? Hmmm. I thought he was literally Hitler.

              Why would you adopt Hitler’s rhetoric?

          I don’t have one.

          It’s very sad that democrats chose to support genocide, and you’re just going along with it. So much for ethics. So much for morals. So much for values. They’re all gone now, because of people like you.

          Stand up for something, you comfortable idiot.

          There are innocent people being blown to pieces, and you want me to vote for that to save the very ‘democracy’ that created it in the first place? Suck my tiny dick. You don’t give a fuck about anything except your team winning, even when that team will fuck you over just like the opposing.

          Imagine being such a petulant American. Your country is built on genocide, of course you’re callous to it.

    Unrelated, but one of the things that made me really respect Judy Greer was watching a Zoom call table read with the cast of Archer during COVID. Everyone was home and drinking elaborate cocktails except Judy - she was drinking Miller Lite out of a can. Respect.

        It’s easy to hate on simple beers, but honestly, they’re fine. Sometimes you want a complex experience that draws your focus; sometimes you just want “a beer” because it’s not something you want to pay attention to.

        I lived in the heartland of craft brew for a very long time. I brewed, my partner brews. We went to festivals for brewing. These days, eh, a simple light lager is fine.

          Exactly. And frankly, from a brewing and chemical engineering perspective, the consistency and subtle flavors of a light beer are more impressive than something like an IPA where you can just blow out the drinker’s palate with hops and win an award for it.

          Don’t get me wrong, I still love big beers. It’s just that I’m almost 40 with three hyperactive, mischievous, and hellaciously smart kids under 10 (and a partner to match); there are many times where light and predictable is really nice.

          My buddy has a good definition of it. He says there are “experience” beers, and “session” beers. Experience beers are more flavorful, filling, complex. Session beers are beers that are easy to drink without thinking too much about it. Like, an experience beer is for an outside deck dinner at sunset. A session beer is for a bonfire or something where you’re looking to get drunk.

          Agreed, nothing wrong with a lager. Among simple light lagers, though, the major breweries offerings are particularly … simple.
