suggesting that biden/harris is “the chicken” seems fair: unseasoned, and probably undercooked and ripe with salmonella. is a bacterial infection better than eating glass shit? i guess? in any case, this fucking sucks. https://twitter.com/andyrichter/status/1294058016799481856
if the best argument you can publish in one of the world’s largest publications is a hypothetical about airplane food, you’re probably missing the mark and devaluing/gaslighting genuine concerns. the binary, lesser-evil approach need not exist, but most want or allow it to
it’s not morally troubling to have to decide between a categorically bad thing and a maybe OK thing. that’s comfortable. it does get challenging, though, when you consider that we don’t necessarily need to accept this status quo
if i have to be in step with the analogy, i still don’t find it ridiculous to ask how the chicken is cooked, or to what temp, or what it’s served with. because it could also be topped with glass (and maybe a little thyme
)
