I’m an Undecided Hobbit, Torn Between a Dark Lord Who Promises an Age of Chaos and an Elf Queen Whom I Just Wish I Knew More About (www.mcsweeneys.net)

I’m torn. Both Galadriel and Sauron say the other is a threat to Middle-earth. One has to be wrong, so whom am I to trust? Should I trust the Dark Lord who attempted to topple the White City of Gondor, dominate all life, and attempt to stay in power for eternity? Or do I trust the Elf Queen representing the coalition of Men and Elves who defeated Sauron when he tried to enslave the Free Peoples… but could maybe do more meet-and-greets?

Genocide propaganda. Why do you support, or at least not have a problem with, the extermination of the Palestinian people?

Hypothetically and only for the sake of argument, let's say Harris "supports genocide". We know Trump supports …let's call it "Genocide+". What does that leave? I believe most people think Harris will make getting a permanent ceasefire and supporting a two state solution central tenets of her administration. And Trump will do something insane that will threaten many more innocent lives across the entire region.

You can cast a vote for the imperfect candidate (which is every candidate ever), you can cast a vote for the candidate most likely to start World War III. Or you can cast a vote for ~~Grima Wormtongue~~, oops I mean Jill Stein, who is on the take from both the Russians and the GOP, and end up helping WWIII guy. Those are your options. It's not necessarily a fun choice, but it shouldn't be a hard one.

Yes, Kamala the warmonger who explicitly supports arming Israel and wants to escalate against Iran and Russia. She also loves Cheney the murdering war criminal, which tells you how she really feels. Trump has at least stumbled upon the correct policy regarding Russia.

I guess liberals are still on the Russiagate bullshit jagoff

Ooh, tell me more! I used to love a good fairy tale. And this one sounds like a doozy! But just like you started, make sure it doesn't have anything that matches reality - that'd be great. Thanks!

What doesn't match reality? Kamala bloviated against Iran, calling them America's greatest adversary. She's affirmed her support for the genocidal apartheid state of Israel many times. She thanked Dick Cheney for his service to the country, which includes two illegal wars that killed millions, in case you don't remember.

Trump at least supports discussion with Russia, which is the right move. Absurd that a clown like him is the only one to suggest it.
