It means they give you the same rights they expect you to give them. This includes the right to say "get fucked" to others and to disassociate from people that are likely to say "get fucked" to you. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] PolarKraken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 6 months ago* (2 children) Listen sweaty, Martin Luther King didn't create the underground railroad by telling people to get fucked, okay?

Anyone that you want to elect must get Independent votes, they are 40% of the voters (Ds & Rs 30% each). When I need help, I don't tell the potential aid to fuck off, but what do I know?

Look, I know that a candidate who isn't itching to murder every last Palestinian might not be your very first choice, but they agree with you on 98% of everything else, right? So vote blue no matter who. permalink fedilink source parent
