Political Memes

Less both sides are bad and more the democrats are so fucking convinced that being just to the left of republicans and so fucking unwilling to do anything to fight against them that legitimately it would have just been better to just have Trump win in 2020 so that he would still have no plan for what to do with the power.

If Gavin Newsome is the democratic candidate in 2028 I will not vote for him. All that him winning would do is let the republicans win in 2032 and actually just end democracy. If they can't cancel the 2028 elections then there is no way they would be able to build up the support needed to cancel them by the next election, and at least that would give us one more chance to get someone who might do something.

Which one do I press to stop Palestinian kids from getting murked?

All of this... it could have been stopped. We don't have to love (or even like) the Democrats, but it was such an important election, and everybody was screaming to vote against fascism. Well, a lot of people couldn't be bothered, and it's here now. Hope our country survives this administration...

Yes, both parties suck, and you are allowed to dislike both, but they don't suck equally and not (completely) in the same way and you are obliged to decide for yourself which party sucks harder, which you dislike more, and most importantly - which are you the most scared of getting into power.

Just because you don't want to be neither leftist nor rightist doesn't mean you need to aim for the dead center. That's as dogmatic as aiming for one of the extremes, and in fact dumber because it's not even motivated by any ideology.

I would love to get away from our current 2 party system...

But until then please we have to stop electing the tyrant side.

'It's the dems fault for putting a brown woman as a candidate.'

Psa: when reading the comments remember that maga want you demotivated and to stay home and just take it. Because they will vote, and they will not split their vote.

Here's the thing: When you don't vote, you COULD be saying that both candidates are bad, and you don't like either of them...

Or you could be saying that both candidates are great, and you love both of them. That you're sure either of them will do an equally good job of running the country, so it doesn't matter who wins.

And if you don't feel that way, then you need to VOTE

In person, I don't really see a whole lot of people in the US admitting or claiming that they didn't or don't vote.

I do, however, see a lot of life-long Republicans and known Trump voters making claims like "I don't really use social media" and "other than the weather I don't keep up with the news", both of which I know are lies in many cases.

However, giving them benefit of the doubt on that, they're admitting something equally as bad: They aren't educating themselves, they aren't informed on important matters, and facts do not matter to them. They're shirking their responsibilities.

Personally, I've always, always, always operated under the principle that our rights come with responsibilities, so I find it shameful that so many people are so negligent in that respect.

The side that has nazis also has Donald Trump.

I got banned from "lemmy.ml" memes community for saying exactly this.

Go vote, but it’s worth remembering that for the most part, the other party only does milquetoast critiques of the Nazis at best.

If only the corporate Dems were actually on the good side... Sigh.

apathetic people are the most stable supporter group of any evil side
