If you are looking to help bail water, @[email protected] recommend Mobilize.us to find opportunities to get started. We are all in this boat together.

If you're getting tired of grabbing buckets, see if you can get people to stop endorsing drillers.

It's so obvious in hindsight!

Ignore the guy with the drill, he's just a Shark Week fan.

More importantly, have you heard about the shit going down in Palestine!?

Meme is missing another citizen not bailing and saying "just vote for someone else" and then a body floating face down in the water that says "3rd party candidates".

Oh and approximately 2 more citizens dumping buckets of water back in the boat, screaming about how their rights to drill holes come from god and that the people bailing water are what is really wrong with the whole boat.

If only my artistic skills went beyond adding text to ~~stolen~~ borrowed images.

The vote determines who gets control of the drill

Hey look, I can make it say whatever I want too! This proves my viewpoint, I will take no further questions.

Conflating leftists with democrats?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Did you have further questions?

Or is it enough to say that I was just sharing what could very generously be called art to express my point of view and hoped that it resonated with folk and would prompt discussion that might be in it's own small way a part of the change I hope to see?

Technically, mocking you is discussion ;)

Okok I'll stop being mean

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Yeah but yours isn’t correct as OP’s was

Can we get a huge yacht with a piss stream coming from off screen and landing in the boat?

You're not one of the people bailing water in this image.

People on this sub react to memes that criticize both parties without explicitly mentioning they still vote for Biden, the way that most Westerners react to somebody criticizing Israel without explicitly mentioning they condemn the October 7th attack.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Probably because of the significant overlap between people who abjectly refuse to do either.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

Be fair. People here react that way even if the person who posts the meme does explicitly mention they're voting for Biden.
