He has no incentive to do better. It’s him or Trump and he knows most democrats have bought into fear politics. He has the vote no matter what. I’m personally voting for neither. And please save your time trying to convince me otherwise.
I wish you'd saved your time announcing it.
Honestly though, Venusaur is really the worst pokémon, and this move has the smallest pp in the series.
After 40 years of a happy life you find out your whole life has been some sort of twisted Truman show. After 20 years of being on the show you’ve forgotten all about the big red button you push every night before you go to sleep. It has become a habit. The big red button sits next to a green button that says “Venusaur is the best Pokemon”. Each night you must choose one and the big red button gases you and makes you forget the last 30 minutes right before you go to sleep.
On the first day of the 41st year you get a knock on the door. It’s a woman in her 30’s wearing a tight fitting Venusaur t-shirt. She tells you it was her little brother’s and you finally find out after 40 years of a happy life that each time you press the red button you cause the brutal death of a child.
You are devastated, run upstairs and press the green button. Venusaur appears and you disappear from a Solar Beam. The most powerful attack in the history of the franchise.
Fissure
Haha fair but you hurt yourself and poor accuracy
Big Emo energy
emo-type pokemon. every attack hurts themselves. Magikarp the OG emo type.
Magikarp is the bullied kid that evolves when pushed too far
You mean revolves like a revolver?
Good for you for having a reasonable mind in defiance of the system and the countless, unfortunately brainwashed thralls that continue to support it.
A no-vote is a vote against a tyrannous and oppressive system. Every 4 years is a new "emergency, vote for the lesser of two evils!!!" And every 4 years, we descend more rapidly into authoritarianism.
Do not participate in this system created by slavers. Put your energy elsewhere. Can't we do better today? Put your energy into better.
Attention is currency. Around the world, we need to stop giving these tyrants attention. Corporations have record profits yet the prices of food keep increasing, wages stay stagnant, mass layoffs are occurring, and the global temperature keeps increasing. They do not care, because they have hoarded all your attention and power, and they use it to make a nee world for them.
Their "governments" that they make you think are actually yours, serve that machine of their safety. You are in the meat grinder, and they consume the meat.
The grinder is perfectly balanced. Every vote for the side you think is benevolent gets balanced by a vote against it. You will NEVER have an impact on change within the system. The best thing any individual can do is STOP. Opt out of the system. Live closer to nature and form new, self-sufficient communities.
A no-vote is just the beginning of opting out. The PEOPLE have the power, not a slaver-created mechanism they call a "government".
Boy, this is a long way to say “don’t vote”.
Hey, anyone reading this. Consider why randoms on the internet might be telling you not to vote.
Little girl,
You aren't voting. Go stand in line to cast a paper ballot that you can't verify is even counted for one of two hand-selected-by-the-elite, who don't give two schlicks about you or your community, and keep pretending you're "voting" for something.
