If I get to talk to another one of these losers I plan on asking why she doesn't seem like she wants to win. "It just seems... I don't know, kinda wrong to force a woman to do something she doesn't want to do."
If anyone gets the chance, get them to say something along the lines of "She's not Trump", "We have to stop Trump", or something. Agree with them, but say you're not really convinced by anything she's done. "But you know what? You're right, I'm not really convinced to vote for Kamala, but I think Jill Stein's still running. She's not Trump and Kamala is already in the White House. I think it's Jill's turn."
Or, instead of Jill, say you're voting for RFK. Blue no matter who, right?.
A friend of mine got one of these calls. She didn't say anything and handed me the phone at my request.
"Blah blah blah, can I count on your support to vote for Kamala?"
"Well, I would, but she has had a friend of mine locked up for 15 years on bogus charges after her office claims they lost evidence that proved he wasn't even there."
"Oh! Um, I'm sorry! Have a good day! *click*"

This is low effort posting. Can you at least put in some effort to your shitty bait?
This would've been way more effective bait posting, but you fucking failed bait posting yet again.
I'll take that reply in to consideration the next time I'm sitting in the waiting room of a VA clinic. I will be here all day if I continue talking about the horrors of being at the VA, so let's stay on topic.
Carlin was a libtard, but even libtards can be right about certain things. SS->CF->PTSD was just one example given of inserting syllables to disconnect effects from horror.
We can also have a discussion about how in the Shell Shock era soldiers had more time to decompress on the lengthy (usually boat) ride home. I've been on deployment, stayed up for the last ~40 hours before it was time to leave, slept through the flight, got absolutely shit-faced in the airport at the refuel layover, and passed the fuck out slept through the rest of the plane ride home. Someone going through some serious shit (we had a few on the plane) isn't going to have as much of a chance to wind the fuck back down before being dumped back in to the absolute bullshit that is being at your primary duty station.
I came here to mention his bit about shell shock->combat fatigue->post tramatic stress disorder.
"Here’s an example. There’s a condition in combat that occurs when a soldier is completely stressed out and is on the verge of a nervous collapse. In World War I it was called 'shell shock.' Simple, honest, direct language. Two syllables. Shell shock. It almost sounds like the guns themselves. That was more than eighty years ago.
"Then a generation passed, and in World War II the same combat condition was called 'battle fatigue.' Four syllables now; takes a little longer to say. Doesn’t seem to hurt as much. 'Fatigue' is a nicer word than 'shock.' Shell shock! Battle fatigue.
"By the early 1950s, the Korean War had come along, and the very same condition was being called 'operational exhaustion.' The phrase was up to eight syllables now, and any last traces of humanity had been completely squeezed out of it. It was absolutely sterile: operational exhaustion. Like something that might happen to your car.
"Then, barely fifteen years later, we got into Vietnam, and, thanks to the deceptions surrounding that war, it’s no surprise that the very same condition was referred to as 'post-traumatic stress disorder.' Still eight syllables, but we’ve added a hyphen, and the pain is completely buried under jargon: post-traumatic stress disorder. I’ll bet if they had still been calling it 'shell shock,' some of those Vietnam veterans might have received the attention they needed.
"But it didn’t happen, and one of the reasons is soft language; the language that takes the life out of life. And somehow it keeps getting worse."
I really wish that fat white weeb hadn't have talked down that crowd of 20-something Japanese guys who were going to beat his ass have a firm discussion with him a few months ago. It would've straightened him out a bit.
Someone else who remembers.
