Political Memes

Sorry, I forgot I have to preface every criticism with "I voted for Harris, but"

You’re fucking complicit.

No my dude, I voted for her. I don't agree with the decision from those who didn't vote or voted elsewhere.

But I understand. /ChrisRock

blame the whole fucking electorate. buncha fucking clowns pissed off because eggs cost $5 or some shit. the fuck is gonna happen when there's tariffs on everything and no one working the fucking vegetable fields? what happens when the republicunts generate 8 trillion in new debt?

the fuck is gonna happen to the price of eggs?

3 groups of eligible voters. Trump voters. Harris voters, and 3rd party/abstainers.

Yes, the first group to be upset with are trump voters. But largely they arent here, so discussion and memes focus on the other group, the abstainers.

Turnout didn't change for Trump. In fact it was less than 2020. What happened was a repeat of 2016, this is the third time they put up an establishment candidate, when it's been glaringly obvious Americans on the left and right are tired of that. The DNC is going to eat a lot of the blame this time--if not the majority, there are hardly any excuses this time.

They'd rather have Trump than a non establishment candidate they can't control.

Blame them and the fake leftists trying to pretend democrats lost for not being left enough. Both are responsible for the impending fascism.

There's plenty of blame to go around. One thing a politician needs to do is effectively sell themselves to the people who will be voting. Harris spent a lot of time selling herself to Republicans.

The people who voted for the fascists were always going to vote for the fascists.

I have no need or desire to argue with you about it. There is no end to people smarter and more eloquent than I who are explaining the exact same thing in more detail than I could, from Bernie Sanders to Rolling Stone.

Cost PA a Senate seat too.

I voted for her. This meme is still correct.

I agree with both you and the meme. You're right that everyone should have sucked it up and voted for Kamala anyway. The meme is right because the Dems fucked this royally at several stages. Yes, American voters have made a decision that I massively disagree with... But you also have to recognise the vast political mistakes the party have made that led to this point.

No, no, but they 'understand' the choice of abstainers to embrace fascism.

It rings as hollow to me as the annual pancake-breakfast op-ed by city liberals before every fucking election about how rural Republicans have Legitimate Grievances(tm).

So you think the 8-15 million potential voters so politically disengaged that they didn't vote...

Spend their time hanging out on political forums?

The people you see online talking about it are politically engaged, which is why almost all of us voted D like every other election since we've been 18.

The ones you're mad at will never see your insults.

And pointing out this years strategy was fucking stupid does still matter.

It mattered more years ago when we had plenty of time before the 2024 election, but it matters today for the 2028 election.too

Our country can't afford the only options to be fascists and halfway fascists, we can't keep moving to the right and expect anything to change

Thank you. Republicans did all these things and won. These posts look like a narrative being pushed to divide us further.

Nothing is changing. The voters won't change. The DNC must be held accountable now.
