dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

One thing I have noticed is that when a dem is in office it becomes much easier to tell who your comrades are.

I do think the trump era did move a lot of people left, but in the end we all saw how so many radlibs just went back to brunch once Biden was elected. If someone’s opposing a dem while that dem is in office, I think there’s a much greater chance that person is committed to some sort of leftism. With a republican president we just get liberals with radical aesthetic, like “the resistance.” Sort of dumb reason to be pro-dem but just something I’ve noticed lately.

What is the realistic alternative? At this point I’m just happy if the Republicans stop gaining power. Once they are not so crazy, then we can move further left.

When was the last time the Dems got more left wing? Biden is the one pulling the shit in the meme and doomed American railroads by breaking that strike, Obama's admin is the reason slave markets could open in Libya, Clinton ratified NAFTA and did all that epstein stuff, this is not a conclusive list of any of their deeds.

How could you possibly drag that party left? They have resisted turning left at every turn largely in spite of their base and they keep getting elected. I personally don't think it could be done and the alternative is to either vote 3rd party or spoil your ballot when the time comes around.

I don’t think it’s about dragging that party to the left, but weakening then republican party enough that a third more left leaning party can realistically run without taking so many votes from Dems that the republican win elections.

A weak republican party is against the interests of the democratic party, they literally say it themselves

call Palis, a semitic people, antisemitic while arming nazis in Ukraine and also looking the other way when Israel bombs Palestinians (which is every other day)

IDK that it's "good" news.

no left means no shitty left

Cool. Fascism it is cause you think it's mean to say you don't need 5 cars while people starve.
