Only one color on that map wanted things to be “different.”
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…
“Democrats didn’t entertain me enough so I didn’t vote.”
Yes. The party needs to be enticing. They lost an election. Shaming voters for not embracing lesser evilism is another mistake the party is making and you’re reproducing here.
At least twice now the party has believed themselves to be assured of victory because Trump is on the ballot. Now they may never have a chance to run again.
OP mentions genocide
Response frames it as entertainment
i mean, it’s also factually true. I still maintain that the dems ran a fairly good campaign. The problem was voter turnout, as it always is, except for 2020, when voting was easier.
Because democrats have an aversion to actually doing things for some reason (primarily age related)
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.

Every single time Dems have won since Carter, we have been baby stepping towards something worse. The victories for gay rights under Obama were a brief outlier in our country’s otherwise uninterrupted march towards fascism.
ah yes, unfortunately the alternative to literally hitler, was moderately worse than what i preferred, and therefore, literally worse than hitler, even though hitler literally genocided the jews.
your misuse of the word literally in this post figuratively gave me an aneurysm.
I’m on the couch, literally reading this comment laterally.
thats literally crazy
That’s literally figurative
good
Looks to be on track to setting us back about 90 years and moving us about halfway around the globe.
I’m thinking 150 years, and staying right here…
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.
Oh neat. I’m only 320k away…
This meme is almost a decade old now isn’t it?
It first appeared shortly after he was elected. It needs to be updated to the person burning their house down.
Still one of my favorites
Things would have been much worse with Harris though.
Clown comment.

Even as someone who didn’t vote Harris, this opinion is objectively wrong
Then why did not vote for her?
Because he’s an accelerationist who believes that things getting much worse is a way to spark the revolution and overthrow of American Capital.
Yeah well if that’s the case fuck him I’m not fighting in a deadly revolution because his type dragged me into a hell world.
Well yes this is true, but the reason I didn’t support Harris was because I supported Claudia. If there literally were no options besides Harris and Trump I would have begrudgingly supported democrats, but thank god we have other options.
Have you heard of the powerball lottery being referred to as a “stupid tax”? People play the Powerball for hopes and feelings and vibes, usually not understanding how infinitesimally small their odds are. They’re not going to win, they’re just throwing money away to feel better.
You still have better odds of winning the Powerball than Claudia had of winning the general election. It’s gonna come out sounding harsh but that’s the reality of it.
Supported Claudia de la Cruz, I didn’t agree with everything she campaigned on, but she pushed for big ideas I’m interested in: https://votesocialist2024.com/our-program
I’m sure you’ve heard this before but doing that under a first past the post voting system was painfully stupid.
And before you say I’m rude or causing a break down in leftist unity by calling you stupid: I’m not going to dance around my honest thoughts anymore. I don’t care what happens anymore. My political tact has left my body because the world is probably fucking doomed now anyway so who cares.
Wow that was almost self-aware.

If you want anyways I don’t think I have the right to tell you what you should or shouldn’t do.

Wrong again. It’s spitting image

You linked spitting image but I wrote splitting image as in if the image was splitten.
I understand it’s an easy mistake to make!
You know it’s completely reasonable and rational to accept you were wrong about a thing even if you hold true to other concepts that may not have a singular answer?
Trying to change reality completely to entertain yourself just makes you the fool and not a person many will bend an ear to, or take with any credibility.

It’s SatansMaggotyCumFart. He’s being sarcastic as always
is this guy supposed to be some lemmy celebrity like flyingsquid?
So we have this weirdo being just completely wrong on purpose and then FlyingSquid who is going around right now saying everyone’s telling them to commit suicide and that they are a moron to be listened to.
Lemmy sure does have such heroes to look up to.
Maybe the issue here is that you’re assuming that these people are considered heroes by anyone to begin with. Just because they post a lot, doesn’t mean anyone looks to them as anything more than what they are.
Content contributors.
A celebrity is someone who is celebrated. Generally positive connotation there.
I think we just then need a different word for someone who gives a lot of people something to talk about whether it is good or bad.
“Celebrity” just means “a famous person,” regardless of the origin of the word. It doesn’t necessarily mean they’re actually celebrated by anyone.
They’re well-known regulars. How individual people think of them is another matter.
I’m commenting on the use of celebrity there. I understand that people are not cohesive in their views but it still stands that those are 2 weird reasons to stand out.
It’s a joke. Ha ha.

More or less. He’s quite prolific.
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.
lmao
