This is starting to look like a thread from reddit or lemmy.world
Please read the sidebar and take care not to defend liberals or the US sham "democracy"
Yikes, some Liberals are not getting the message. I'll make it clear
“Democrats say ‘Vote’” but many didn’t vote, or voted third-party in 2016.
This Supreme Court is a result of that election.
Congratulations on demonstrating how to hand the government to Republicans.
Let’s not do that any more.
I love how this is painted entirely as the fault of people who chose not to vote, and not the fault of the Democrats who seem to try their best to run the shittiest possible candidate. If Democrats would have run a candidate that was worth voting for, maybe more people would have turned out to vote for their candidate.
If republicans thought that way they wouldn’t have a Supreme Court majority.
Biden was a popular pick because he fits the demographic of people who vote:
- Father figure who will take care of you
- Loves his family
- Name recognition
- Is affiliated with Obama when times were good.
- Isn't Trump in every way
I'm not sure how people don't recognize that it's a popularity contest. One side wants good people in there that they can trust. Biden is trustworthy even if you don't agree with everything he does. Think of every other possible candidate and if you have to tell all your friends about them or they already know who they are. Trust isn't even on the table yet.
In 2016 Democrats ran a widely disliked neoliberal through a heavily biased primary and wonder why they lose.
Trump lost the popular vote in 2016. What more would you have us do? We're past the point of voting being the only thing you have to do to resist, and we're past the point of individuals being responsible for where we are. Levers are being pulled that the public and voters have no control over. If you're not in an organization that opposes fascism in some way, you're not doing enough.
Memes like these send a clear message:
Let's give republicans all the power, one cynically cherry-picked narrative at a time. Hold Democrats to a perfect standard, dismiss any such consideration for republicans. Give no context. Play the heroic martyr while doing nothing.
It's clear that you didn't understand the meme nor do you understand this community. I'll make this clear, you cannot win in a rigged system. On top of that when the Democrats win we get jerks like Genocide Joe (btw any genocide sympathetic comments will be removed).
The Democrats are complicit. The Republicans are at least forthcoming with their goals. "We're going to burn this shit to the ground". Whereas the Democrats are like "vote for this corporatist candidate that nobody likes or we'll let the Republicans burn this shit to the ground".
It's in the Democrats' best interest not to take meaningful action against fascism because the only thing they really campaign on anymore is that they're ostensibly not as bad as the other party
This post attacks Democrats for not fighting back and makes voting feel hopeless or inadequate. The reality is you aren't elevating someone who is fighting back. Don't waste effort demoralizing voters, instead point at a message, person or action that you consider fighting back and push it, be the change you want to see. Otherwise this just amounts to voter suppression because every person that sees this and doesn't vote in November because they feel it is pointless is one less vote the fascists need to take power. The donor class, the media aren't going to do it for you because they are the ones that elevate Democrats that don't fight back.
Just the way the donor class wants it.
Wanna go ahead and count how many people voted?
I almost looks like your "democrats" are not actually democrats...
It looks an awful lot like they want the same things as Republicans and are all playing an elaborate game of Good Cop/Bad Cop.
But if you vote Democrat you'll
get a good economyget a president that isn't incompetentget a president that will actively fight genocideget a president that won't dump money into the military industrial complexget a president that will fight back against fascismget a president that won't sacrifice all of their values in the name of "bipartisanship"- get a president who's name isn't Donald J Trump
But how can I vote for a President when a completely separate country is attacking another country and this president isn't personally over there boots on ground stopping it all with the power of magic and persuasion 😥! - Totally not a shill and/or moron
