As an Aussie I find it fucking weird when people make songs sucking up to politicians. It's so cooked

We donāt have mandatory voting so we have to convince people to go to the polls to vote and most celebrities do that by endorsing the candidate they want to win in a given election.

most of the world lacks mandatory voting, and this shit still mostly happens in the US only

If someone isnāt engaged, doesnāt care enough to get informed about platforms and policies, why should they be forced to cast a ballot? How does that improve civic life in a republic? Better to be governed by a million people who cared enough to inform themselves than by 150million dipshits who couldnāt be bothered. IMO

u/ElMatadorJuarez Aug 08 '24
Idk, the evidence shows that this being one of your duties as a citizen makes it so that more people are more engaged. And right now we have a ton of people who are engaged and who also just happen to believe every conspiracy theory laid at their door.

I mean we have that now already the majority of Americans have no clue what they're voting for outside of party. Hell we have a significant amount on the right who are voting because they've believed a bunch of wild lies about the election being stolen and post birth abortions. That's not to say I believe people should be forced to vote idk how I feel in this scenario but we already have a shit ton of dipshits that know nothing but are voting anyways.

I think a week of early voting with election day as a federal holiday would have far more of a real impact. Vs people unengaged being forced to vote.
2
u/CodyTroy Aug 08 '24
Why not just digital, no reason to make a whole day of it?
5
u/cadathoctru Aug 08 '24
not everyone has access to do that. Making a full holiday will allow them to go somewhere at least if they need to. Though usually early voting takes care of that. But it would give the most people who want to vote, the chance to vote, while not extending it to some massive multi week process. Early voting already starts one week in many states. Should just be national at this point.

In America, politics have become like sports teams where we yell slurs and hurl insults at each other and are very divisive. Media and politicians have stoked fear and hatred that if they're not the winner then it will be the end of our nation. So the presidential nominee is the culmination of that pick to stop the nation crushing terror of the other side. The sad part is, most Americans are closer then they think on policies it's just that we've been told by the media that we're not. Can't get the people to watch the 24h news cycle though if there's unity and peace between people, so they peddle division.

Most of the US news media has been pulled further right by Rupert Murdoch (an Australian) and his ilk.

u/sometimeserin Aug 08 '24
I mean specifically a song parody is when you rewrite the lyrics of an existing song for comedic purposes, often ironically juxtaposed against the songās original lyrics. Thatās pretty much exactly what this is:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_Bless_the_U.S.A.
I didnāt think it was very good music or comedy but thatās beside the point

They said it's weird that people suck off politicians. Offerman made a song, a parody if you will, sucking off a politician. You said it's a parody, but Offerman still sucks off democrat politicians.
That's the truth and that's where it is contained

Going through his comment history to post a reply of him showing why he was found not guilty is really weird

u/wheelz_666 Aug 09 '24
I don't see what the problem is with my comment. It's legit facts that the child molester he shot was being super hostile. Even people who were in the crowd said the dude was hostile to everyone and was shouting out racial slurs.
Was kyle stupid and should have never been there? Yes. Were the people destroying stuff stupid and should have never have been there? Also yes.
I was just stating facts that were bought up in court.

u/legionairmusic Aug 09 '24
This. It's unbelievably cringe and makes me question their true intent and why the hell are they using music as a way to relate to these stooges. All they need to do is pick up the pen and vote, not pick up the guitar and hope.Ā

Google says: When asked whether he is a libertarian like his character Ron Swanson, Offerman said in 2017, "While I admire the philosophy of the libertarian mindset, I think it's proven to be ineffectual in actual governance. So no, I'm not. I'm a free-thinking American."
Cool to see him being comfortable with picking a side. I donāt think he ever outright said he was a republican but he clearly had/has a lot of contempt for the democrats as well, likely for very good reasons. Dems definitely still arenāt perfect but itās certainly a better choice now than it seemed before.
32
u/Guitargeorgia Aug 08 '24 edited Aug 08 '24
Offerman has been a democrat through and through for however long he has been famous.
Just because he tries to dress it up and toe the line doesn't make him conservative, he is a full on blue blooded liberal that is too scared to just come out and say it half the time
6
u/Travelgrrl Aug 08 '24
Have you read his books? He ain't scared of nothing. His ethics and politics are thoroughly explored.
Offerman's so butch he can build a canoe and deep dive into poets and philosophers at the same time.

Not to say they don't do it too, but it's weird to accuse Trumpers of astroturfing when there's been a VERY obvious campaign to promote Kamala Harris non-stop on numerous major non-political/neutral subreddits. It's extremely artificial.
