This meme is almost a decade old now isn’t it?
Still one of my favorites
At which tax bracket do you get to enjoy life now?
If I remember right, things start to turn around somewhere north of 350k yearly.
Lol. So many dumb voters who think everything changes for the better overnight if they protest vote and don’t grasp that politics is a battle of voting for the less shitty option so you can take baby steps toward something better.
In the end, all they did was set us back X number of years/decades. Thanks stupids.
Biden’s polling low, the voters want things do be different… huh, better campaign on doing nothing different! What? They’re saying we’re doing a genocide? Well, better point out that Trump is gonna do a worse genocide!
That’ll be a great message, exactly the sort of thing that makes people excited to vote…
Yeah, because people should vote on excitement and engagement, not truth … totally doesn’t devolve a democratic process into one of reactionary populisms fueled by false promises. If people want to get excited, they should go to a theme park. If they have a shred of civil responsibility, they vote, specially when things were as bad as they were.

What part of the genocide wasn’t true at the time of the elections?
reactionary populisms fueled by false promises
Like codifying Roe V Wade? Like closing Guantanamo?
If they have a shred of civil responsibility
Civil responsibility is voting for the party that pretends to care about Gazans while carrying out a genocide and funding Israel.
Like not spamming the same comment multiple times and like realizing that the only but quite essential power you do have is choosing between the least worse candidate because the much worse candidate will go the complete autocrat route. I can’t believe how brainwashed some people continue to be to try to argue they have not just doomed Gaza, helped expand Guantanamo Bay, or have endangered people’s right while trying to use examples of how it could have been better as an “argument”.

Since the Democrats didn’t give every single thing on the bLuEmAGa screechers wishlist, ofc Trump was the perfect alternative!
Definitely not an example of letting perfection become the enemy of good or anything!
Edit: To whoever replied to me, but probably has me blocked since I can’t see it (only the reply counter) unblock me if you’re going to reply to me, coward!
Uh, that means you blocked them.
Thanks, I never block anybody but sure enough pancakes was on it lol
Protest voters did not impact the results
-
Those idiots didn’t know going into the election that their vote wouldn’t affect the outcome, but they did it anyway.
-
Protest voters could conceivably include people who protested by not voting, and they most certainly affected the outcome.
Protest voters were young people, who voted the exact same as every other election. They don’t vote.
If you want to engage with reality and look at the data you would see that the groups that voted for Biden and not Harris were older white men/women, and older hispanic men. Most likely because of the instilled patriarchal values and machismo culture of these groups made it hard to stomach voting for a woman with the same policies as the white man they voted for.

Letting perfection become the enemy of good? Good is funding a genocide?
Also, I’ve never blocked anyone.
Now we’re funding a genocide and making life worse for everyone else. Huzzah!
Yup, it’s pretty outstanding. We’re a nation of gullible, hateful idiots it seems.
My b, you somehow got blocked on accident as I also never block anybody.
Anyways
Good is funding a genocide?
There was keeping the status quo at worse (Harris) and then there was throwing the dial to 11 and opening new potential genocide fronts right here in America! (Trump)
Oh no worries, I probably said something stupid at some point.
I completely agree with everything you’re saying except that the Harris campaign was good. There were no good choices this election, there was just an objectively wrong one. I voted for Harris anyway because trump is obviously worse by far, I think I’m just still pissed at her milquetoast center right campaign.
As a fellow reluctant Harris voter, I wonder if people like them think that anyone who criticized Harris/the campaign didn’t vote. I know A LOT of hardcore leftists that are left of even me and every one of them voted. Some would maybe not say it out loud in a group, but they all did just in case Trump had the votes lol. It’s a shame they sacrificed their morals not only for Harris to lose, but now they’re also being blamed for it. If people had anti lib energy the way they had anti leftist energy, we’d have M4A by now lol.
Things would have been much worse with Harris though.
Go back to reddit
Go back to xkcd.
If you want anyways I don’t think I have the right to tell you what you should or shouldn’t do.

The comic book?
Even as someone who didn’t vote Harris, this opinion is objectively wrong
Wow that was almost self-aware.
Go burn in hell.
It’s SatansMaggotyCumFart. He’s being sarcastic as always
is this guy supposed to be some lemmy celebrity like flyingsquid?
Copy that.
Why u think so?
Well I was told she was a genocide enabling agent of the status quo and if we withhold our votes she’d come crawling back over to us with universal basic income and single payer healthcare.
Why do you never use the /s? lol changed to updoot
I respect the intelligence of my target audience.
Maybe you should be running these kind of posts through a SpongeBob mock generator
Fam you should frequent [email protected]
They kind of seem like an asshole.
Understandable, unfortunately a lot of the bLuEmAGa folk say the same things unironically lmao though I should have known since it wasn’t a 3 paragraph essay on it lol
If you subscribe to my YouTube channel I have twelve hour interviews with people like Jordan Peterson about these topics.
lmao
