  • I'm here for memes, not snappy Xitter, 4Chan, reddit or similarly sourced screenshots of texts

  • That's like having c/sayings and people just write shit in it: "well how can it become a saying if we don't treat it like one!" That makes no sense. It's not for making sayings, it's for things that ARE sayings.

    There are things in the category already and the community, based on the name, should be for that.

    I would recommend c/memematerial to be born to fill the niche you're discussing.

    Edit: lol downvote if youre 12 and you have some pictures of text we just have to see.

  • I'm all for a third party coming up and taking over, my contention is that you might not get free elections that far into the future by allowing trump back in. That was IMO a big red line, and following your ideals is all well and good but I don't think you can compare trump to either Bush or any president in recent history.

    I'm against genocide, but indirect genocide abroad compared to complete collapse of the government here is not a cut and dry issue for me.

    I don't know how you know by way of a direct roadmap, but allowing a second trump presidency feels the same as crossing 1.5 C global warming... It points to something much, much worse.

  • I sure did.

    You get 3rd party genocide in Palestine no matter what you pick which is a travesty, but D politics doesn't lead to disappearing people to CECOT or broad daylight funneling money from the government into the hands of the friends of the president at the expense of dismantled dept of education or anything else.

    I guess I could have used the cautery party, but basically everything is way fucking better than what we have now.

  • I mean you can criticize whoever you want and I'm happy to support you doing that. The idea of rallying around a 3rd party candidate is unfortunately a pipe dream. How would anybody know who to rally around because they aren't allowed to participate in debates or even really participate as a first class candidate? It sounds good on paper but it just isn't and has never been a reality. It looks a lot more possible if one election like 20% of people vote third party, but it hasn't ever happened.

    There's no "gotcha" here to be had. There are 2 predictable choices at present and they both suck, but it is clear which is the least worst.

  • I didn't say anything about force for good. I said objectively better. If you think Kamala and Trump are equivalent presidents, well... I would be surprised you can read.

  • The gunshot wound in the analogy is not genocide. It is more like all the human services things like healthcare, food stability, loans and loan repayment, etc.

    Like there are DEFINITELY ways to do it better than either of the candidates here, but comparing D to R addressing these issues (or not) there's no contest.

  • It's an objectively raw deal. For the presidential race there are functionally only two choices.

    The down ballot races have choices and primaries have choices and local races have choices. Mamdani surging to the top of the mayoral race for NY is an expression of the voters. 3 years of 4 there's time to demonstrate public opinion and express unhappiness in any of a variety of ways, but I don't have a silver bullet to provide.

    All I can do is say that, practically, if there are two candidates for the president race and both support arming Israel, I would rather get a half assed attempt at public infrastructure than a government burning gestapo grift. And I think most people agree. If you want to make the argument that I'm the long run trump is a cold shower that we deserve to shock the whole system... I might have agreed in 2020, but now I'm not so sure it will change anything past 2028.

  • It sounds like this might be a deeper part of disagreement: fundamentally the voters pick the politicians. Blaming voters isn't punching down, that is the ground floor and the only place progress is made. Its the ONLY place to punch.

    Politicians serve at the leisure of the people. It is our duty to vote them in or out. It's not punching down to tell voters to do their jobs, voting is literally the only ask for the vast majority of people. Besides jury duty, it is the minimum form of governmental/political participation a citizen can do.

    There is no excuse for doing nothing besides being lazy. I am going out of my way to respect your perspective and your right to have it, but at the end of the day I think doing nothing and being proud of it is a cop out, and saying "it's all the same in the end" is not just a cop out but is also disingenuous.

  • If everyone who didn't show up because of genocide in palestine (or darfur / tibet / cambodia) voted, would trump still be president? I don't honestly know.

    What I DO know is that things are objectively worse now than they were before the 2020 election and there was no party in that election that adequately addressed the problem. So sure, maybe this is an instructional moment and there will be a huge surge on the left in 2024. On the other hand, maybe there won't be an election at all because of "war with domestic terrorists" or something. I understand the argument of "nobody WANTS to vote a lesser evil anymore" when it's between the likes of Al Gore and Mitt Romney. When it's Trump, Project 2025, and a risk of validating Jan 6 (which we unfortunately did), I'm sorry but even though I agree with your position my gut feeling is to blame you MORE than my dumb Trump voting family because at least they got duped. You (generally) walked right into it and said "Ha. Yeah. Win without me." and then left it to burn, knowing full well that this bullshit we are living was a possible, or even likely outcome.

    "Why did this thing I did nothing to stop happen if it was the worse option?" Well. I don't know, but I know who I'm more frustrated with about it.

  • By way of understanding each other, I agree on point 2 and disagree with point 1.

    They may go to the same place and maybe it all started in 1970 or something. But I wasn't here then and neither were lots of people who I believe are similar to me. I want change in a radical way, but I would settle for slowing the house from burning enough for us to have room to do something meaningful. D is a counter burn and R is gasoline.

  • Compared to whatever the party of trump is, idk how any sane person can equivocate and just say "yeah it's all the same either way". The kind of person I guess with no trans or foreign friends maybe, but even still.
