No you specifically called out people for staying inside and getting deliveries.
They were calling out privileged people who get to sit at home during all of this and aren't in any real danger.
There's nothing wrong with, and it's in fact good, getting deliveries right now as long as you can afford it.
It's just not something the average working class person can do sustainably.
What is the point of calling out people?
Getting mad at people who have the means to have a sane approach to the pandemic isnt productive. Yeah you can say it’s exploiting “essential workers” but I don’t really get it when the alternative to getting a delivery is going out yourself and mixing people together more. The fundamental issue is the lack of protection and lack of support for “essential” workers, plus a very fast and loose definition of essential.
for fucks sake i cant even get away from it here guuuhuhuhguhguahg
fuck off redditor
Isn't it morally worse if you claim to believe scientists and doctors about serious issues like climate change and Covid, and then don't propose any serious solutions of plans to get a handle on them? At least the Republican argument of "that's all fake, and we're not doing shit about it" is logically consistent.
You should listen to one of the latest Citations Needed episodes about this exact topic, it's a great (infuriating) listen.

It's cathartic to hear Adam get madder and madder with every passing episode they do. Definitely gonna have their livestream open during election night.
There was a great citations needed episode about this a week or so ago. They say that Dems lukewarm response to climate change might as well be climate change denialism
Saying "I believe in science" then doing nothing for 8+ years is the hall mark of modern democratic climate denialism.
Its the old: I see you, I hear you, I believe you, now go fuck yourself.
And we know you know we don't give a fuck, in true hypernormalized fashion.
Biden has given us the solution to climate change in the form of the almighty God known as Fracking
But he says he’ll “listen to the doctors”! Nothing about doing what they say, but he’ll listen.
I'm on another site that has a bunch of Brits who support Boris Johnson and they literally say this same thing. "But he listens to the doctors! he listens to the scientists!" yeah OK, nothing about what they say or what he's going to do after that.
if anything, knowing it's real and not doing anything makes him worse.
The left case for voting for Joe Biden is getting more ridiculous by the day
The one true answer is using both hands and starting at both ends to meet at the middle.
There i have reached centrism
Seriously. Even the argument that "at least he will do something about Covid" isn't even valid anymore! It's like Biden is trying to lose.
But the Supreme Court!But COVID!Well at least he's NOT A CHEETO!!
You fucking idiots. How can you actually be so stupid that you think Biden will be as bas as Trump.
Let me spell it out for you: Biden is in the blue party. He has a D next to his name. Need I say more?
It's time to reclaim the color RED for the left wing of the spectrum, and give the Republican Party and Trump the ORANGE color they really deserve
i did not consider that thank you for lettting me know i will be putting my vote down for a big D
MISTER VIRUS SIR I MAY NOT AGREE WITH WHAT YOU SAY BUT I WILL DEFEND TO THE DEATH YOUR RIGHT TO SAY IT
We've done it. We have a bipartisan plan to keep the economy going in exchange for exposing the most expendable members of society to the virus.
"I will listen to scientists"
Okay dude scientists already have been saying shit. You should already have listened to them and have a fucking plan. Instead Biden is going to wait until he gets in to form a plan. Which will take months to a year. Meanwhile any criticism about not having a fucking plan will be blamed on Trump. It's so fucking stupid. And when his plan fucks up all you're going to here is "imagine if Trump was still in office."
“I will listen to scientists”
only if they don't contradict the neoliberal death cult
Jesus fucking christ why does every neolib sound like a shit AI that just turns random nouns and verbs into meaningless platitudes structured with and/or juxtaposing statements and rule of 3?
This means nothing. It is a fucking void of a statement. It's the language equivilent of a fucking black hole.
Honestly, I can't imagine neolibs doing anything real you know? Can you imagine someone like Biden or Marcon or Starmer taking a shit or brushing their teeth? I can't. The language they use weirdly dehumanises them. I'd rather they were replaced by flatscreen tellys displaying the stock market and intermittently broadcasting angry static. It'd be more fucking honest than this cardboard cutout puppet show.
It's extremely distressing to hear someone in the oppo party essentially describing how little they would actually do once in office.
I want Biden to win because I hate boomer fascist more than anything on this planet. I want them to have no joy even if its from stupid things like the us electoral politics.
There's a lot of talk about liberal tears and not enough talk about reactionary tears.
For real, like you should know by now electoral politics are fucking stupid. You should have no horse in this race. You should know this by now. In my opinion, if you want to get the best bang for your buck in this stupid ass circus, you want dipshit American fascist getting owned in small amusing ways. And then in turn watch them have complete meltdowns and get killed/locked up for trying to kill Nancy Pelosi or some dumb shit lol.
Yeah, the happy fash contingent after Trump won in 2016 is enough for me to strongly prefer he lose this time. I mean not enough to get me to vote for Biden but still.
His plan is probably to have as many people physically go back to work and reopen as many things as humanly possible, and just to put everyone in half assed PPE. Can we mark a date on things like on reddit? lmao
