  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

The problem is that they don't know or care that eggs are expensive because of bird flu. They just want to justify their vote outside of the prejudices they don't want to say out loud.

Sorry I mentioned eggs. I Just meant inflation.

You're just plain wrong to say everyone who voted for Trump did so out of racism, misogyny, or transphobia.

I voted for Kamala, but I'm not in favor of everything she stands for. I didn't want Trump. Does it mean I hate Palestinians that I voted for Kamala?

It doesn't mean that you hate Palestinians. It just means that genocide wasn't a deal-breaker for you.

Exactly! We have a TON of people here hating on Trump voters for a potential genocide (if he happens to follow through, and not be talking shit again), yet being perfectly ok with continuing the actual genocide killing boys and girls in Gaza.

Because, the potential genocide is about them and not brown people.
