“You mirin, brah?!”

Aziz “Zyzz” Shavershian was a 22-year-old bodybuilder, stripper, and model based in Sydney. He became an internet sensation around 2008 with a slew of motivational videos that tracked his evolution from a skinny “sad cunt” to a god. He wanted to inspire other young rejects or outcasts to stop being “sad cunts”. Zyzz’s disciples—dubbed the Aesthetics Crew—followed his ideology of shredding at the gym to emulate “the Gods” and transform “jelly” (jealous) followers into “mirin’ (admiring) sick cunts.”

Awesome post, OP. Thank you!!

Because she wasn’t really a russian asset, which Lemmy made up. Also, even if ever single person who voted third party, and put their votes towards Harris, Harris still would have lost. That’s how large the victory margin was for Trump.

Friend, Jill Stein and third parties weren’t the reason you lost. The Democratic Party was the reason you lost. The DNC was clueless, only listened to dollar signs, and they let you all down.

Agreed. We should have an age-limit for the president of the United States. Or at least a cognitive test.

Nope. She’s right.

Why? Even if everyone who voted for Jill Stein, combined with everyone who voted third party, Harris still would have lost the election. That’s how large the margin was.

You all even lost the popular vote. To Donald Trump of all people!!

So exactly how did she betray the country? Because she ran third party? Which didn’t change the election results at all?

And do you know how many people on Lemmy are now suddenly saying that we need a third party now, because they feel betrayed by the Democrats?

You didn’t lose the election because of Jill Stein. You are just used to hating her because Lemmy told you to hate third parties while under the mistaken impression that they would spoil the election. But they didn’t spoil the election. The Democrats did. lol

I’m sooo glad I voted socialist and stuck to my values. No soul-searching for me after the election! I did the right thing.

I don’t think she was a plant though. The Green Party chose her. Do you think they are all plants then?

Why? Even if everyone who voted for Jill Stein, combined with everyone who voted third party, Harris still would have lost the election. That’s how large the margin was.

Harris even lost the popular vote! Seems like Jill Stein should be the least of the Dem party’s concerns.

Well, in the end it didn’t matter. Harris lost by such a large margin, none of the votes that went to Jill Stein would have mattered anyway.

I mean, you guys lost the freakin’ popular vote to Trump!

The majority of the United States didn’t agree with you or your candidate. And they showed you just how much they didn’t like you guys by voting.

Trump won the election, and the popular vote; the Republicans won the Senate AND the House.

You and other democrats need to change your methods and your attitudes.

Your bullying didn’t change my mind, or the minds of all the voters who voted for Trump. Remember when you all accused me of being a bot? And accused me of being Russian. And said I’d disappear after election day? Or that I was a team of people posting “propaganda”?

None of it was true, and it was just bullying, and you guys trying to quiet any dissenting voices.

That’s why you lost, friend.

And I’m still here, having the best time of my life.

Well, you are here reading it, so is this all you have going on in your life?

Well they have run in local elections and there are quite a few Green Party officials out there. But they should def by trying for more congress roles too.

Yeah, it’s crazy that they lost so badly. Hopefully, after their blame games, they can reflect on what the real reasons were, and try to update the party.

Do you realize that even if every person who voted for Jill Stein or any other third-party candidate had voted for Harris instead, Harris still would have lost?

The margin was big enough that, even without third-party candidates, Trump would have still won the popular vote.

So why are you mad at Jill Stein when her absence wouldn’t have changed the outcome at all?

Sorry for yet another plant story, but I can’t help it. I like plant stories! I promise my next one has nothing to do with plants tho! :)

“Derek, a gardening enthusiast with a thirst for dark secrets, learns too late that some seeds are best left unplanted, they can just tear up a garden!”

Well, as you know, all information and voices want to be free. :)

“Well, well, well. Looks like our lonely botanist has found a friend that really grows on him… but be careful, dear boils and ghouls, because in this twisted tale, the only thing thicker than love’s roots… is the blood it feeds on! So grab your gardening gloves and prepare for a tale where a nice little friendship blossoms… and so do the bodies!”
