Surely, the only way to stop this genocide is to blame women, BLM and LGBTQ. \s
Gross.
At least the Republican backed genocide will also be making life living hell for LGBTQI people, women, and migrants in the US as well.
People come to a meme community and expect a deep, well-reasoned essay on the state of things and the best ways forward from one captioned image :-\ Is there not a dichotomy between nuance and memes?
The comments around here are just wild flailings based mostly on assumptions. There’s nothing to argue with. It’s a picture with some text on it, popularized as the simplest form of humour. Looking at the comments around here now feels like watching a bunch of people arguing with a dog. There’s really not so much being said.
This is kinda baffling, is what I’m getting at. It looks like almost nothing’s been said so people are furiously attacking things that haven’t. 🤷
For real. It happens constantly. There’s a lot of sealions out there who take the existence of a meme as an invite to a debate.
It’s a political community mate. We take it in the worst context.
This is Lord of the Flies. I know it, you know it, we expect to be hung here.
If both sides are the same, can we at least veer a little bit away from fascism? Hint: both sides are not the same. Your vote for democracy does matter.
maybe if I keep voting, things will change!

I don’t need to preach to the choir about ultra conservatives being ultra conservatives, that’s a given
+ as I already said in another comment: If your definition of “left leaning” is “genocidal neoliberal war criminal”, that’s on you
Damn, I can’t wait to hear about all the things you’re doing to try and actually end the abominable genocide against the people of Palestine. Meanwhile the rest of us are looking for ways to do that and also voting against the guy who promised to double-down and bring the violence home against immigrants.
Pretending Trump’s presidency wouldn’t be objectively worse for all the causes leftists care about, even the ones (like Palestine) Harris isn’t going to do shit about isn’t taking a principled stand. It’s hiding from what little power you have in the electoral system in order to keep whatever happens next off your conscience. And frankly, the Palestinians don’t care about your conscience any more than the Hispanic Americans or trans kids.
Meanwhile the rest of us are looking for ways to do that
What have you looked at so far?
Fuck, Harris is also campaigning on a trans genocide as well? Harris will appoint more Supreme Court members that will strip more rights? Harris is campaigning of ethnically cleansing the us? Fuck, I need to read more news to stay informed about how the literal fascist and the milquetoast center right democrat are literally the same.
I’m sorry but if you believe you can only be gay if brown people get genocided you’re not gay and you just want to kill children.

So who is the viable option that will stop the ongoing genocides AND protect our rights here? We can’t really do much if we all have our rights taken away, too.
You are!
Don’t just vote - go out on the streets and demand that the Dems condemn the genocide and to stop sending military aid to Israel if they actually want your vote!
If you won’t risk having your rights taken away on the grounds of literal genocide - what would you risk them for?
Right, because the alternative somehow isn’t “genocide, but also you lose even more of what little power you still have over this supposed democracy.”
Even if this election doesn’t let us end the genocide, one option is actively threatening to use military force against political dissidents, which tends to make it even harder to push for a change in foreign policy.
“Even if” and “threatening to use military force against political dissidents”? - like how Kamala vowed to unconditionally support the genocide? or Gavin Newsom strategically used violent police force to disband pro-Palestinian encampments but not defend them against counter protestors? - it’s already impossible to push for a change in foreign policy under blue rule - why do you think that will suddenly change when they get another 4 years in office?
But hey they haven’t come for you yet, so you can sleep easy knowing there’s brown people, political dissidents and lgbtq+ folk to be taken away before it’s your turn…
The shills are going hard in the last two weeks huh

I’m out. If the OP is so stupid to not see the obvious choice (Kamala) compared to a felon, literal shit stain, I won’t even mention the name of. I don’t even know. OP, you are actually stupid, or so far dissociated from reality? I feel sorry for you.
Obviously both parties have cons (obviously some less than others) but it’s a 2 party system your country is ingrained in. You literally have 2 choices. Fascism or not fascism. I’m not from the US, but I know what I’d do if I was.
Fuck fascism, fuck you op, and especially fuck that orange, demented, withered, old man. I hope he dies in the most horrific way possible (orange shit stain, not OP).
Left and blocked.
Democracy is when checks notes your life is funded by imperialism and genocide! 🤡
(good riddance btw. .world is srly turning into a new Reddit)
Can’t wait for you people to head back to reddit, where your kind belong.
Even if the choices were a kick in the groin and five dollars versus a kick in the groin and getting stabbed, some of y’all would insist ‘only a fool would consent to a kick in the groin!’ as you’re getting stabbed. Doubled over, on the floor, having been kicked in the groin.
Lesser evils are less evil. It’s not fucking complicated. What asshole doesn’t want less evil?
There is no greater evil than someone that supports and actively does a genocide. Hitler didn’t start out killing Jews.
This is lazy and stupid. It can always be worse.
And president Harris is killing who, exactly?
Would The Idiot fix the situation you’re obliquely referencing?
Palestinians. No, but he wouldn’t be worse. It doesn’t get worse than genocide. Period. There is no lesser evil.
If you believe your life, your rights are worth the mass slaughter of another population, it’s not.
So powerful. Can you imagine how many lives this representation will save?
