Political Memes

I've said it before and I'll say it again, you dumb fuck Americans should have voted for Vermin Supreme.

Try your hardest to create a new party the day after election day. If it fails, vote Democrat and start trying again the next day.

You have no idea how strongly and passionately I wish to see the day that you guys get a proper multi-party system. What you have right now is super fucked up.

EDIT: Also, yes, Trump and GOP are definitely trying to downright rig elections and that can't be ignored, of course

"But they'll steal the elections!!!!!"

Oh yeah? Just like all those state and special elections they've been losing by double-digit electorate shifts for the last 18 months? Including the one covering FUCKING MAR-A-LAGO???

Grow the fuck up. Get registered to vote, and when elections come round, VOTE, DAMN IT. Fascism only wins if you just give up and let it.

Both sides bad AND you still have to vote.

They'll try to shove you off the platform with constant negativity and trying to act like Trump is just a continuation of all the same. If you didn't care before, why do you care now?

It's not. It's different.

Imagine the hammer is the polling box and all your solutions look like voting when your think all your problems look like nails.

Everyone should vote. Absolutely. Go out, do it, cast that ballot.

Voting won’t solve all of our problems. We need to go beyond just voting.

This is lib bullshit. Voting is how you keep the Epstein class in power.

Prove me wrong and nominate an anti-genocide candidate.

Americans are truly a lost cause if they still think voting will get them out of this.

You need to organize yesterday and actively resist in a militant way paving the way for real democratic institutions by and for the people. Yet you still fail to see that the whole system is designed to keep you ignorant, enjoying the bread and circuses until you get to make a vote that changes absolutely nothing every 4 years and then go home satisfied that you practiced your democratic rights under capitalism. And you also fail to realize the severity of the situation you're in, any other country would be rioting right now but you're out there filming shit with the hope that some magic entity will step in and save you, or complaining about it on the internet.

Wake the fuck up Americans, for the sake of the rest of the world and yourselves as well.

Damn you really blame people for not choosing between Moloch or Baal.

both sides are bad, but voting for lesser evil is still better than letting bigger evil prosper. But pretending choice between 2 evils is the ONLY option is what is perpetuating this bullshit. And if there truly is nothing to be done except accept your one party system that is split in 2, you need to work on dismantling the whole system instead but that is chemoterapy level option so hopefully it doesnt get to that.

America needs more parties so people have actually something to vote.

One should vote, it simply shouldn't be the end of it.

If you voted Democrat and thought you made your part, wrong. You barely made one shift towards one slightly less terrible group. This is not victory. A part of what you should do, yes. All you should do - not.

One of Propagandas goals is to get you to give up. Uncovering truths and doing research is hard according to Josh Johnson, if it was easy more of us would do it instead of watching memes. Propaganda is designed to flood you with so much crap that you question everything and then give up looking for the truth because its hard. Ai has not helped this.

No, the point is to agitate you against an establishment that wants to prevent you from having a better choice.

Liberals who are passionately defending lesser evil electoralism before primaries have even started are either idiots in denial or moderates who don't want to talk about why their party is nearly as unpopular as Trump.

Voting is about the lowest form of political influence (besides doing nothing). If all you do is vote then you're left with candidates determined by others. You can (and should) still vote for the least worst option of those that have a chance of winning, because not voting effectively means you approve of all options. The only thing you can vote against in an election where one of two options will win is one of those options, by voting for the other. Anything else won't matter.

If you want better options to vote for, you need to be politically active besides voting, actively working to establish better options, tell the established parties what candidates and policies you want them to support, support smaller parties that represent your interests better, and that might slowly shift it into a direction more to your liking.

Of course that's much harder that doing nothing at all and proudly telling yourself that that will somehow delegitimize the system - the system doesn't care. Election results are shown only as a proportion of valid votes, anyone else has no influence on the result at all.

Right, but that's also no excuse for running lesser monsters on the other side. We have every right to refuse all monsters no matter their severity.

The Democrats are bad, but the Republicans want you dead.

Do you really need it spelled out more than this ? VOTE for heaven's sake.

There's only two people who I have ever seen that harbor this mentality:

1. Enlightened centrists who think saying things like both sides bad makes them looks smart and pretending to be an "independent" thinker who's always in the center makes them feel smart
2. Far left extremists who purity test EVERYTHING and think anybody to the right of Mao is a neo nazi.

In both cases, they provide nothing of value to the discourse. Enlightened centrists are politically apathetic, and they only want to feel better about themselves by putting down "the sides", and far left extremists are not serious people because they're inherently irrational and dogmatic. There's no appeasing either of them nor should anybody try to. Most people are pragmatic enough to understand the point being made in these meme, but these dingleberries won't.

No, this claim is false.

I know both sides are absolute shit, and I still voted for Harris. And I hate Harris, though not as much as Biden or Trump. I would not have voted for Biden.

I didn't "design" this opinion to manipulate anyone's vote. My opinion has been earned through life experience, including political volunteering and running for office.

Yes exactly that mentality is part of the problem.

As a lifelong Independent, this post can F all the way off.

Yes, this is my civil, indoor voice.

Don't you MFing tell me not to have opinions and free will, and that I should change who I am so I don't make a bunch of establishment Dems that genuinely don't care if I'm alive or dead have bad feels. Maybe the Dems should Fing field people that don't gobble billionaire scroat like they invented it.

And Democrats can maybe, just once in a while, not happily fundraise and capitulate and do the policy strategy version of pump and dump schemes around the central point of "hey, we're not the Nazis, we're the mildly annoying guys that whimper when Nazis do Nazi shit, but do eventually give them everything they want. So it's Nazi shit FAST or Nazi shit less fast with some of us around :D"

"Both sides suck" posts should encourage anyone with guts to see how much of the country wants a god damned set of independent candidates or even, (shudder) another MFing option between Shibag A and XXXL Shitbag B. People need to shed the chains of both parties and run at the local level. Give both sides a fucking scare.

There's a lot that goes into the choice of a President, starting way upstream from the actual Presidential vote - after all, there are 340 million of Americans who could be President, so clearly there is a lot of choosing going on outside the actual vote to trim that down, otherwise the Presidential election vote would have a lot more than just 2 real options.

Sadly a lot of Americans seem to have been brainwashed into a sort of learned blindness were they think of the actual election vote as the entirety of the choice, not really pondering on the rest of choosing that must be going on to go from 340 million possibilities to 2.

Posts like this one are elements of the very propaganda used to convince Americans that their only power as citizens is in that one single moment were somebody else already trimmed 340 million down to 2 and a loud spectacle is made of them having the choice of 1 out of those preselected 2.

If one doesn't allow oneself to be swindled into such a reductive view of Democratic choice in America, it becomes pretty obvious that the vote itself does very little of the choosing and that have more of the choice one has to at minimum participate in Primaries, better yet do things like campaigning, even better be part of civil society groups, go on demonstrations and even distribute pamphlets and put up posters denouncing the actions of the worst politicians (such as getting money from AIPAC).

People who genuinely want to improve the way America is run wouldn't relentlessly try to artificial reduce the view that others have of the process down to the smallest and least mathematically significant part of it.

That most people being brainwashed into thinking that selecting between the last 2 is all that matters massively helps those doing the biggest and most obscure part of the choosing to retain said power and not be questioned for it, probably explains why the Propaganda pushing for the hyper-reductive take on the choosing of a President is so relentless and intense.
