Althouse: Sean Ono Lennon is just opting out and watching the shit show.

June 2, 2024

Sean Ono Lennon is just opting out and watching the shit show.

He doesn't support any particular candidate (and I believe him because I feel the same way):

stlcdr said...: That was pretty funny.

But it’s a pretty telling underlying message. Unfortunately leftists, democrats and Biden supporters see it as a message that they are not oppressing enough and need to step up their game.; 6/2/24, 7:53 AM
Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: This is good. Neither of you or many of the other sit-it-outers were likely to vote for Trump anyway. This is one of the reasons that if this is a high turnout election it will benefit Trump instead of Biden. The changing political orientation of minorities and youth voters is also part of the formula for Trump victory enabling him to win beyond the margin of cheat.; 6/2/24, 7:56 AM

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: I went to a party yesterday and ended up talking to a guy from Los Angeles. I've known him for a few decades. He is definitely a democrat.
He launched into the covid fraud. - Planned-demic.

By the way - you can go to the PlannedDemic website and watch all 4 installations.
Now that people are learning the fraud that is fauci, big pharma the CIA-Chi-Com intentional release of the virus - the cat is out of the bag.
Apparently episode 4 is shown openly and film festival. Too many people are fully aware of the fraud.

Did you know the movie Dallas Buyers Club is about Fauci. He's the bad guy depicted in that movie. AZT - that's Fauci - & that drug killed millions of people with AIDS.

He also said - note how the covid vaccine is gone? Replaced by so-called variant boosters. which are tantamount to bogus therapies. But the original jab is 100% unavailable.

We discussed and compared notes about all of the vaccine related injuries and deaths we know about - despite the lock-down on free speech regarding that issue.; 6/2/24, 8:11 AM

Big Mike said...: @Althouse, you have two sons with the quintessentially Jewish surname of Cohen, and you think you should sit out the culture wars that you and other “liberal” women have been delighting in since your college days?

I’d think about that if I were in your shoes. Whether you and Sean Ono Lennon like it or not, the time is rapidly coming to choose. And neutrality — sticking you nose up in the air, as I’ve called it — puts you on Joe Biden’s side, which is the antisemitic side. Again.; 6/2/24, 8:21 AM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: I'm voting for Trump. What does it matter?

Everyone should prepare themselves for the Biden win. Why else do you think they continue to pimp him and prop him up?
Very evil forces are at play. No way the same evil forces that just twisted our legal system in a NY court are going to let Trump win. Wake up.; 6/2/24, 8:23 AM
Bill, Republic of Texas said...: Althouse the Scold decided to opt out of the shit show? That's "deeply sick".

What a surprise she can't admit that her cultural affiliates turned out to be the fascists.

Sometimes the smartest girl in the room, isn't.

How AWFL.; 6/2/24, 8:24 AM

Why? Orange Man still bad? The "terrible" things happening not terrible enough? Or just abortion, abortion?; 6/2/24, 8:42 AM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: rhardin - keep up the women-hate. It's good for Trump's business. Trump and all his male supporters should tell all women to go F themselves. See what that gets ya.

I recall Ann opted out of the 2020 presidential vote. So?
Stop obsessing over her choice. Besides - how any of us vote on our so-far still secret ballots- should be kept secret.

Wait until the Soviet Left force us to vote for them, and remove voter secrecy.; 6/2/24, 8:43 AM
planetgeo said...: Have you ever considered the possibility (remote though it may seem to you) that your standards for qualities that really matter in a candidate are lacking? And that's why we are having a shitshow now?

I've spent years in the faculty lounge too. What may have been a survival strategy there is a flawed and fatal strategy in the real world.; 6/2/24, 8:47 AM

Mary Beth said...: I got distracted from the original comment I was going to make.

I follow Sean because he's witty and seems like an honest thoughtful person. He does not seem to have gotten as much flak for this as he did for his review of Prince Harry's book.; 6/2/24, 9:04 AM
Aggie said...: Ultimately, when the politics become as charged and divisive as they have in this country (quite methodically done, I might add), maybe you reach a point where your politics become a matter of pragmatism.

Cruel neutrality, or the option of sitting it out and quietly watching the show - those are options that are generally available in a high-trust society. Do we live in a high-trust society? Or are we just hunkering down, and calling it 'opting out'.

But it's not 'opting out' if the doors are locked and barred and you're on edge. I've had to hunker down in other places as we figured out how to leave and get our people out safely, and families were involved. It's a terrible feeling, being scared out of your guts all the time, but we knew we had a safe-place country to return to. I would guess there are quite a few people right now, in mostly Blue places that are feeling beleaguered and hunkered down, and fixing to get pragmatic while they still have the option.

That Joe Biden smile, when asked about Trump's conviction. That's the kind of response that Crazy Uncle Joe cannot resist. Smart people in the press should ask more of those kinds of questions. I have a feeling that this is one of the reasons his camera time is strictly controlled. Joe probably thinks he was being Tough Guy, giving his 'Conan the Barbarian' answer, but what I saw was pure Hannibal Lector.; 6/2/24, 9:09 AM

The "Vote Against" vote is what doomed Hillary. And at this point, should doom Biden.

The corrupt left do not care that they destroyed lives. They simply do not care. They are the billionaire Arabella class - CIA/FBI and the corrupt tentacles of the democrat party and their media. Fauci is as corrupt as they come.; 6/2/24, 10:50 AM
wishfulthinking said...: I don't recall in which news source I saw it, but there was recently a headline that the Biden administration was announcing a pretty substantial tax increase package. Included was something called unrealized capital gains taxes.

Will Trump if elected do the same? Will he do the opposite?; 6/2/24, 10:54 AM

Sally327 said...: I don't know what I'm going to do yet except it won't involve voting for Biden.

I didn't want Trump to run again and I think the GOP would be in far better shape if it had chosen just about anyone else. I suppose there's no chance he will step aside for the good of the Party and the country. Probably too little too late anyway.

There are plenty of other candidates for other offices that I can support. I'm not a believer that the President is the end all be all. Just think what the first two years of the Biden presidency would have looked like if the Republicans could have held the Senate. But it didn't, partly because Trump encouraged Georgia voters not to vote in their special election. Trump had no problem with people sitting that one out.; 6/2/24, 11:41 AM
wishfulthinking said...: Those women who are not voting for Trump because of the abortion issue should know that in places ruled by one party ALL abortions are usually illegal. So it was in the communist cesspool in which I was born. It probably still is today, and it could be mandated here if the uniparty decides so down the road. If the warmongers need slaves they will produce slaves.

But if Biden gets reelected we WILL have abortions selectively compelled sooner than anyone can imagine. The false rationale will be to save the planet and to further DEI. Currently some hospitals are denying critical life saving procedures to patients who never took the covid shot. The time will soon come with Biden's reelection when babies conceived by two white biological parents will be mandatorily aborted.

I know few here believe me and will either still vote Biden or abstain. But it is exactly because of those decisions that tyrannical rules are going to be implemented.

There will be no Supreme Court or constitution or laws to save us. The Democrats will ignore and destroy all institutions that provide equal justice. People that see what has been done to the rule of law to get at Trump and are still asleep and thinking that everything will be fine if Biden gets reelected will doom all of us.

I am so tired of warning and trying to wake people up. To me everything that's coming is so clear because I've been there. But people do not want to listen. They refuse to open their eyes. Too painful to even consider. Ignorance is bliss etc.

I will vote for Trump assuming that the Democrats haven't murdered him by election time.; 6/2/24, 12:03 PM

That's one of the things that distinguishes Democrats from Republicans.

Absent lawfare/election interference, Donald Trump is going to be the Republican candidate in November but there are plenty of Republicans who disagree with this choice and are not shy about saying so, out loud and in public.

On the Democrat side where the nominee clearly has dementia, Democrats pretty much to a man stand behind Pedo Pete to this day. And they will, at least, until the memo goes out and they all abandon him for "The Current Thing" at exactly the same time while claiming (at exactly the same time) "I never supported Joe."; 6/2/24, 2:32 PM
Michael Fitzgerald said...: Robert Cook @12:19 Trump increased his voter totals by 25% from 2016 to 2020. The 75 million legal votes he was credited with are the most for any candidate in American history, by far. To contend that Donald Trump was not the most popular president in American history is more of the Soviet Democrat Party of America's absurd propaganda.

Robert Cook said...: "To contend that Donald Trump was not the most popular president in American history is more of the Soviet Democrat Party of America's absurd propaganda. People voting against Trump were always going to vote against Trump, because they were Democrat Party members."

You're ignoring those who likely didn't bother voting in 2016, certain Trump couldn't possibly win, but consequently voted in 2020 expressly to block Trump's reelection. Trump was greatly popular, yes, but he was also greatly hated, sufficiently so that he lost in 2020. (He didn't even win the popular vote in 2016; he only became President because the votes he did receive gave him more electoral votes.) To contend Trump was the most popular president (by sheer count of voter numbers) in either 2016 or 2020, (much less American history), is untrue.; 6/2/24, 5:00 PM
Joe Smith said...: 'You're ignoring those who likely didn't bother voting in 2016...'

It's a numbers game.

Democrats skew much less intelligent, probably not cracking the 100 IQ barrier.

Conservatives are much smarter.

But if you look at a bell curve, not too many folks at +2 standard deviations above the mean.

So conservatives are stuck trying to educate slower folks, while democrats just give them free shit.

Tough sell...; 6/2/24, 5:48 PM

Just going to go with the anecdotal evidence on this board for now.
