A little later:
"Okay SURE the boat is flying but as a strong leftist advocate I really think it's problematic how he's treated the underpaid people who build flying boat motors, and I think we need to focus more on what Biden should be doing better to convince me to vote for him against the hole-drilling-and-baby-punching club, because I think probably I'll sit this one out"
Also "sure, the boat's flying now and we aren't drowning, but what we really need is to get to land, being in a boat doesn't even make sense. So I'm going to sit this one out because both parties want us in the boat. What's that? The other party's trying to sink the boat before we get to land? I don't care, it's about the principle of wanting to be on land!"
"I don't see the boat flying, see this is the whole problem with the Democrats is that when people tell them they're HURTING they just break out all these figures about altitude and tell you to stick your hand out the boat and see if you can touch the water, that's super condescending and not very productive and unresponsive to criticism, it's like a cult man, blue MAGA amirite, so anyway I'm definitely not voting for them NOW because now you hurt my feelings."
Wait I'm confused by this digression, is the boat still sinking? Do I need to keep baling water?
Unsure if confused by digression or still playing into the typical confused centrist satire bit replied to.
you guys are commiting a genocide. there ain't no flying boats here.
Israel is committing genocide, and that's not the only thing happening in the world right now.
the us is funding it and propping it up. they recently went as far as threatening the hague for saying so.
