As a Tolkien fan and someone who hates voting for octagenarians, this post triggers me more than I’d like to admit.
Equating the upcoming election to this isn’t a choice between Saruman and Gandalf, it’s between Saruman and Sauron, but instead of picking either of those guys, you pick Aragorn, who Gandalf really likes.
So what we should do, instead of voting for either, is ask Gandalf Bernie Sanders who he’d like to be president and vote for that guy.
Also, the whole “line of kings is broken” portion of this joke feels way to close to an RFK Jr. joke for my taste. The man’s insane.
It really does bother me that so few are willing to recognize what a shitty president Biden has been.
I mean, if you’re a wage earner in half of the US states, Biden did jack shit to help you and you can still be legally paid $7 an hour, but he moved heaven and earth to make more money appear out of thin air for Israel, Ukraine, and other miscellaneous wars when he’s already budgeted a trillion dollars for war.
I don’t understand why I shouldn’t expect a progressive use the power of the presidency to make real positive change as hard as Trump used it to try and ban Muslims.
Also Biden is supporting Israel in its genocide against the Palestinians. A muslim political analyst coined it this way:
“Why should you vote for the guy that is commiting genocide, over the person that might commit genocide? Commiting genocide must be a red line to not vote someone.”
