Memes and humour are rhetoric, and speaking only for myself, I'd rather mildly joke about someone's silly views rather than have a big grumpy debate with them. There's a time and place to sit down and respectfully suss out a topic, and I think good comedy helps more than it hurts - even when a few people aren't laughing.
That much is true, but I don't think I wouldn't call this "good comedy", and judging from the replies in the thread - OP included - I don't think it's intended as a joke either, mild or otherwise. It is kinda amusing, in that victory is presented as always impossible, but I doubt that was intentional. This isn't goodnatured ribbing, this is more, as the kids say, bait.
De gustibus some disputandum, as always
As one who left, I feel qualified to dislike Americans more than most. I don't quite fit in in England, but I definitely don't fit in back there either.
"Memes and humour are rhetoric"
Democrats absolutely hate this however. Remember how they reacted to the "genocide Joe" meme?
...Do you really just go around talking shit on a political party that isn't even in control? I'm not even in that country, bruh
Democrats don't allow criticism no matter the situation.
If they are in power, then they can't be criticized because the election is very soon and you are just "helping the other side"
If they are not in power, then they can't be blamed for anything because they are not in power.
"oh I'm definitely not worth talking to" cool, bye
lol this whole conversation just demonstrated perfectly why democrats lost.
