Intro post? Okay.
I'm Rob! I've been on a Transformers podcast for 15 years and have been YouTubing for 11 or 12 I think. I mostly cover Gundam games these days, especially #GBO2, and love robot toys and models as well as action figures in general. I'm cranky when people get hurt for fun & profit.

I should probably just get some rest and think on all this more when it's not the anniversary of things that suck.

I shouldn't be so judgmental I guess. If Bandai were to announce a major new HP collab I'd pretty much get to make the happy choice of being completely fucked re: the YT channel and related Patreon that provide my sole trickle of income, or a hypocrite.
All this fucking sucks and I hate it.

never seen a better clapback to "just playing devil's advocate," this made me screech
rather than play advocate, go meet your client in person to be sure you understand their concerns

Everybody has to figure out for themselves what they're willing to put up and what the appropriate response is for them. I get that.
But still, there's a few people I've seen who had nothing to say about the Potter announcement and everything to say about the new SS86 wave, and just... huh.
Huh.

And this is why I was done with Hasbro products as of Tuesday morning this week.
This is what HP pays for: the torture of children.

Love it when people lecture you on how you have to vote for the party that is constantly looking for the escape hatch on standing up to a Nazi pedophile child pimp felon whose popularity is in the sewers because they're the lesser evil.

Point is, if the party that is supposedly better than having a Nazi pedophile criminal for President is pre-conceding to all his demands, they're not going to win. They're not the lesser of two evils. They're just fucking evil.
Bye!

Which the Dems won't do. They won't even budge on abolishing ICE with people dying in the streets and Trump's approval in the basement. They're negotiating MORE money for ICE in exchange for non-binding promises to obey existing laws they ignore.
Anyway, at this point you're just wasting my time.

More than half the eligible voters in this country didn't think it was worth bothering and people are on here scolding the people who still bother because nobody in the Democratic party can run a goddamn campaign and you think MAYBE they don't vote the way you think they should. Make it make sense.

Voluntary. Anonymous. Popularity contest.
The Dems have been coasting on "we'll worry about your problems later, but you don't have a better choice" for over a decade. They ran out of later. That's all there is to it.

Once you tell people they're not important enough to care about, you're politically done. Especially when you have nothing to show for the "more important" problems you used as an excuse.

Ignoring your constituents, collaborating with their enemies, and then putting the onus on them to get you re-elected is not a functional electoral strategy. It simply is not. You can think it should be logically, but it isn't. It fails, it has failed, it will fail.
Anyway, I'm done. Take it easy.

I'm going to stop being antagonistic here, but I want you to understand that what the Democrats have done here - and what you are trying to reinforce - is 100% the strategy that is threatening to reduce Labour to a minority party in the next election.

And the math where it is the responsibility of the voter to conform to the views of the candidate stops being even remotely logical when your party comes in third behind "Don't Bother" and "Nazis," in that order.
Go talk to the people who actually failed and leave everyone else alone.

Yelling at people to vote for the lesser of two evils in a popularity contest with voluntary, anonymous voting does not work. This is pretty well documented across multiple election cycles in multiple countries!
And harm reduction as a pitch stops working once you have four years and do fuckall.

I value actual thoughtful, nuanced opinions on US politics from outside our news sphere! But if you're just repeating the same dumb shit I've heard all this time you're not actually outside it, are you?

Cool beans, but you're also just saying the same dumb shit the Dems have failed with over the past decade. Whatever you think you're doing by lecturing the only people here who actually really care about these problems on how to vote, you're not accomplishing it.
Labour?

I don't begrudge people in other countries their opinions on our politics, especially when we have this bad habit of entangling those countries in them. But also, I don't know who the fuck you think you're helping repeating the same stale shit the Dems failed with repeatedly over the past decade.

One of the funniest things about the Newsomoid vote-scolders is that you sift through the first dozen replies and there's at least a solid fifty-fifty chance somebody uses the phrases "your country" or "our country" when addressing them, and they'll reply "Oh, not mine. I'm not in the US."
