the "media" doesn't "think" they all just push their current agenda
Political Memes
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
The two sides are the people and the state/capital, right? ... right?
Equal? Universal healthcare is derided as the delusions of radical extremists. A mere pipedream of anti-semitic tankies, if we're talking the gambit of American media.
the media is owned by private individuals with their own agenda.
Real, lasting change isn't going to happen instantly and with a minimal of effort.
Movements have to be built, leaders have to be cultivated. These things take time. Mistakes will be made. There will be times when you do everything right but still there are setbacks. If you want your working-class peers to represent your ideals in government, you have to support them. You have to be willing to let them learn, you have to help them out financially and strategically. Because otherwise, the vast majority of them can't compete against billionaires and their favored picks.
Voting alone is not enough in today's climate. Angrily typing at each other and posting furious videos blaming everybody but ourselves is not enough. You continue to do the same but expect different results -- you're going to be disappointed.
Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh MY candidate didn't win their primary. Guess what? You've got at least 2 more years to build a movement around people who reflect your values and represent you. You can't snap your fingers and expect the world to revolve around you instantly. Winning takes time, planning, strategy, organizing, money, and so much more. There is no quick fix strategy, and I guarantee you that even if literally every single thing from this moment forward goes exactly right and exactly your way, it's still going to be the better part of a decade (or longer) before there's any chance of arriving where you want to be. This isn't a sprint. It's not even a marathon. Making progress means you have to keep going.
No, the media doesn't think that, the owners of the media wants the media to say that they're equal
We need to keep repeating this, it's a CLASS war.
No war but the class war
It's always been a class war. Sometimes we do some of the fighting but the rich are always fighting.
So foolish to think this way.
The longer we sit here and make it about the "other" is another day/year/decade that these people play us and stay in power.
Which side wants healthcare and education? There's some independents that may want that but the two parties of the apparatchik are the same except one has a veneer to mask the racism. Lest we forget, both sides have bombing brown people schools in the middle east as a hobby...
