Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

This is in km/h not mp/h but there seems to be a dramatic difference
The difference between 80 kph and 100 kph is minor, but again, of course it's better to be a bit slower.
But why should we choose between fast and faster, when the only sane option would be stop?
You’re right but not voting is not a vote to stop.
True, but hopefully it was understood as a vote for "we can't continue like that" by the people in power of the democratic party.
Especially after having seen Mamdani win New York, I do really hope that more progressives will be up on the ballots. We shall see.
