Journal damn_registrars's Journal: Easy to lose this bit of ugly in the noise... 2
But this one hits home for me. The other day, a man who twice lost the presidential election (and is going for a third attempt) went for a particularly low assault on people he dislikes. He called out Biden for stuttering, and mocked him for it.
I stuttered a lot in middle school and high school. I was mocked mercilessly by my peers for it. It took a lot to overcome, and I lost out on some important things because of how insecure I was over it. I have younger siblings who stutter as well and I try to help them as much as I can, but it's not easy.
Yes I should have called out and gotten angry at the long, long list of other ailments and predicaments he has mocked people for. But as the old proverb suggests, eventually the fascists come to take me away as well. This type of behavior has gone on far, far too long. Nobody should be allowed access to the levers of power who has this kind of attitude towards other human beings. I shudder at the thought that people will actually consider voting for him again.

Trump is a scumbag (Score:2)
Trump is a scumbag, and there's no level to which he won't stoop.
It's mind-boggling to me that there are still people who are openly willing to vote for him.
The draft-dodging piece of shit made fun of John McCain for not being able to lift his arms (which was because McCain was tortured in a Vietnamese POW camp).
Like I said, just a total scumbag. In fact, he's the gold standard for being a scumbag; I'm only surprised Guinness hasn't created a category just for him.
Re: (Score:2)
Pew Research and census.gov both put the voter turnout rate for the 2020 election at around 66.8%. That of course tells us that roughly a third of eligible voters didn't vote. Of course some of them were actively disenfranchised by the system, though some of them could have voted but just didn't feel it was worth the effort.
I really hope those who could vote will see it to be worth the
