Political Memes

Had a discussion with my wife's parents the other day. They thought it was hilarious. They laughed, alternating between mockery of the poor and "nobody helped me so everybody should suffer!"

She said maybe it's time to go no-contact.

Didn’t vote for it isn’t good enough. 90M people didn’t vote. We needed 2M more to vote against it. Remember this when the midterms come around next fall.

FTFY

I have a relative who has been on medicaid on and off who "doesn't pay attention to politics". I frequently explain current events to them- like efforts to cut medicaid that may cause them to lose their coverage.

The obliviousness (or complacency, in many cases) of some people is unbelievable.

By not voting you did vote.

First past the post system and all of that.

Remember when Trump wiped women and people of color from DoD and other government documents in his DEI sweep? Fucking sucks man.

It’s fucking depressing though. I voted for Harris, went to college, worked in IT and was a good little worker, got a decent credit score, barely got a starter home…

By all accounts I did everything right. But I’m still fucked. Going to be laid off this year and this IT industry is fucked. We all are. We can’t do anything because the wealthy always win. I’m depressed most days and only find joy in reading sometimes but other hobbies don’t feel the same.

Every time I’ve voted, my candidate of choice loses. I’m powerless. I’m not well.

We need to be thinking about how 77 million Americans voted for Trump and thought that was a good idea.

And we need to work out how to prevent it from happening again.

One thing is clear, billionaires and politicians are unwilling to relinquish power or wealth, even when their holdings are obscene or they are incapable of governing.

We will have to threaten either their lives or the structures on which their holdings depend, and can't bluff. And they will likely choose death over surrender.

I’m sure that’s of great comfort to the people in concentration camps. Legit so gross to acknowledge concentration camps currently existing and being run by your own government, and somehow still making it about you.

And a bunch of people didn’t vote for hitler. Nazi party got 43% of the votes on 1933.

And the worst part?

They probably sleep sounder than you.

these manufacturing guilt posts would work if we were not seeing dnc sabotage mamadani to favour predatory stooges just like trump. the “blue no matter what” is only for trash candidates that superpacs want. everytime we get close to a leader that we want like bernie or aoc or mamdani, dnc shows they work for the trumps not against them.

i am not a violent person so pls suggest how we can help get aoc elected in 2029 without doing a luigi on likes of pelosi and schumer ?

You voted though, right? For Harris? That’s the only correct answer.

Non voters + Trump voters + Jill Stein voters brought us into this mess. I haven’t heard anything from Jill Stein, as a leader I hope she’s speaking out too to her base. ~~

concentration camps and millions being stripped of health insurance and food assistance

So like Gaza?

Because I'm pretty sure this was the logic for people who refused to vote that this very community spent an entire year assuring me was a bunch of tankie bots from ml.
