Why isn’t that argument taken more seriously by people on the left as an implicit admission that the left is politically weaker or less effective at wielding power?

Because the Left doesn’t get to wield any power and the right wing Dems care more about not upsetting their owner donors and their friends than insignificant details like justice and the needs and wants of their constituents.

If one side “can’t get away with” actions that the other can, doesn’t that suggest a real imbalance rather than moral superiority?

It’s both and also a secret third thing:

Republicans are MUCH more brazen and shameless, MUCH more skilled at messaging, AND the right wing Dems in power would rather still get paid the big bucks than do their job, see above.

Thanks, Pope Bob!

Now I’m craving milf weed 😁

the Orca may or may not eat its liver.

Depends if it has some fava beans and a nice Chianti

they started eating bamboo due to food pressure, and I guess really liked it and won’t eat what their body is built for.

AND they won’t fuck! If ever there was a species (other than humans) actively trying to make itself go extinct…

“Playing fetch with my dog went into extra innings. No regrets.”

Did I ever tell you the middle name of Keith Urban?

It’s Lionel, in case anyone wanted to know.

When your outsanity gets cold so you let it inside?

Funnily enough, “never get discouraged, snail” was also what my PE teacher said every time he saw me run.

He was not the BEST teacher ever…

Finally, a command line shell for the 90s

The photos, which do not legally imply wrongdoing

Fixed it for them. Might not be usable in a court of law but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t look hella sus…

But thanks for ruining my morning

It’s my duty and my pleasure, Ma’am/Sir/other! 🫡

Such a gem of a movie, gotta rewatch it soon 😁❤️

I get what you’re saying and the appeal of the category of appliances, but did you have to get the Nestlé one?

They’re one of the most heinous consumer-facing companies in the world and you should really be boycotting them…

Nothing inherently wrong with looking forward to pleasurable things, including your morning coffee 🤷

That idiot must be fancy as FUCK to think all coffee is kopi luwak! 😄

Is this from something or did you just make it up?

Seems like it could be from Dumb & Dumber or a similar farce, but I don’t recall Lloyd Christmas or the other one having a gambling addiction 🤔

By definition, it’s only an addiction if it affects the lives of yourself and/or others negatively. Which CAN be the case with caffeine, but this comic doesn’t show that.

Other examples of neutral to beneficial dependencies include oxygen, exercise, medication, and the winning smile of Hugh Jackman.

Fun fact: 100% of countries have done fucked up shit.

I’m not pointing that out because I think that excuses any of the fucked up shit. It doesn’t.

I’m pointing it out because by the standards of “shut up if your country was ever genocidal”, only people from countries with very little power and influence are allowed to try to do or say anything to make the world a better place for those of us not in favor of genocide.

TL;DR: STFU with that ultra reductionist edgelord bullshit. You’re not helping and you’re not being clever.
