It first appeared shortly after he was elected. It needs to be updated to the person burning their house down.

Lol. So many dumb voters who think everything changes for the better overnight if they protest vote and don’t grasp that politics is a battle of voting for the less shitty option so you can take baby steps toward something better.

In the end, all they did was set us back X number of years/decades. Thanks stupids.

Looks to be on track to setting us back about 90 years and moving us about halfway around the globe.

Every single time Dems have won since Carter, we have been baby stepping towards something worse. The victories for gay rights under Obama were a brief outlier in our country’s otherwise uninterrupted march towards fascism.

ah yes, unfortunately the alternative to literally hitler, was moderately worse than what i preferred, and therefore, literally worse than hitler, even though hitler literally genocided the jews.

Biden’s polling low, the voters want things do be different… huh, better campaign on doing nothing different! What? They’re saying we’re doing a genocide? Well, better point out that Trump is gonna do a worse genocide!

That’ll be a great message, exactly the sort of thing that makes people excited to vote…

Yes. The party needs to be enticing. They lost an election. Shaming voters for not embracing lesser evilism is another mistake the party is making and you’re reproducing here.

At least twice now the party has believed themselves to be assured of victory because Trump is on the ballot. Now they may never have a chance to run again.

Yeah, because people should vote on excitement and engagement, not truth … totally doesn’t devolve a democratic process into one of reactionary populisms fueled by false promises. If people want to get excited, they should go to a theme park. If they have a shred of civil responsibility, they vote, specially when things were as bad as they were.

That’s the thing, when most of society laughs at that, the chances of having any sort of democratic process work drop to nothing.

What part of the genocide wasn’t true at the time of the elections?

reactionary populisms fueled by false promises

Like codifying Roe V Wade? Like closing Guantanamo?

If they have a shred of civil responsibility

Civil responsibility is voting for the party that pretends to care about Gazans while carrying out a genocide and funding Israel.

Like not spamming the same comment multiple times and like realizing that the only but quite essential power you do have is choosing between the least worse candidate because the much worse candidate will go the complete autocrat route. I can’t believe how brainwashed some people continue to be to try to argue they have not just doomed Gaza, helped expand Guantanamo Bay, or have endangered people’s right while trying to use examples of how it could have been better as an “argument”.

i mean, it’s also factually true. I still maintain that the dems ran a fairly good campaign. The problem was voter turnout, as it always is, except for 2020, when voting was easier.

Because democrats have an aversion to actually doing things for some reason (primarily age related)
