The election is almost 7 months away. Anything can happen between now and then…especially with 80yr old candidates. Some people are losing the day worrying about a tomorrow that may never come.
Speak up or never be heard.
I prefer to say it like this:
“Speak up, or someone else will speak for you. And you may not like what they have to say.”
If Trump has an aneurism until then and finally taps out of life I might actually entertain the thought that god exists and cares.
God damn you guys suck at memes.
What do you mean ‘you guys’?
Dumbfuck wannabe couchlocked wannabe “leftists” in the U.S. Too lazy to go agitate for the change they want, more than enough energy to make memes and whine about genocide.
Too lazy to go agitate for the change they want
Were you not agitated by the result of the 2016 election?
It’s like you didn’t even read what I said and just saw the word “agitate” and typed the first snarky comment that popped into your head.
Okay. Give me examples of what you mean when you say “go agitate”.
Summer 2020 was nice.
Where’d all the Bernie fans go? There was supposedly this huge grassroots movement behind him but when the DNC didn’t want him (surprise right?) they all just took their ball and went home.
That I have to explain what “agitate” is, is pretty telling.

Great. Can you name any material outcomes from those agitations?

Yes and?

I understand the term just fine. Plenty of people were agitated by their loss in 2016. If they want to win in 2024 they should be begging for our votes.
Tell me you’re not left leaning (or… not a native English speaker) without telling me you’re not
I also see “Democrat party” a couple times in your comment history, which is another thing I have literally never heard outside the conservativaverse
Neato.
Go agitate Deez nutz
Is this, projection?
Wonderful rebuttal and truly an insightful observation. Thought-terminating clichés are the height of intelligent discussion.
idk that meme communities foster such great discussion and intellect. TIL
That’s a fair point.
whine about genocide
Yeah, what a bunch of babies whining about the minor issue of genocide… Thanks for ripping your mask right off to show everyone what you really think.
The shills
Actually, I do. Everyone acts like the president is a king, but you tend to lose seats both nationally and locally even under a popular president like Obama, who hemorrhaged seats at every level his whole tenure. Trump acting like a jackass in public will lead to democrats who do not worship Netanyahu as their only God getting elected to congress and to state level office. I’ll take that over the cult of Bibi at the presidential level every day of the week.
WTF are you talking about? The Biden admin has been more critical, and gotten more concessions from Israel than any President. I suppose it’s not perfect, but isn’t action better than talking?
It’s obvious that after Michigan and Wisconsin Biden has bent to Leftest demands, are you even capable of recognizing a W?
Same with climate change. Biden’s infrastructure bill is the biggest investment in climate we’ve ever had. Did it fix the problem for all time? No, but who else is even moving the ball?
I swear, If Biden got every American an ice cream, certain leftists would turn lactose intolerant.

It’s the biggest investment in climate when compared to the pathetic inaction by previous administrations, but most of it is still throwing money at companies and hoping they do the right thing. Even the evil empire known as China, which is a second-rate economic power, has done far more to combat climate change than the US. It’s pathetic.

If biden shat in your mouth, you’d be telling us all that it was the most delicious ice cream of all time.

Our votes are worth more than a few empty threats. Stop providing weapons. Make a material compromise not symbolic measures.
So you’re going to vote for Trump in 2024 hoping he is enough of a disaster to get more dems elected in 2026, but not enough of a disaster to end democracy…
I’m not going to vote, I’m not willing to be morally culpable for what either of these madmen does.
Yes u are.
Well, inaction is also being complicit.
Yeah, people say that, but I felt awful when Obama murdered that 16yo Denver-born citizen with the drones the DNC had been crying crocodile tears about for 8 years, because I campaigned, donated, and voted for him. I didn’t vote for Biden in 2020 on the premise he’d do something unconscionable like he’s currently doing, and I think it was the right choice. Had Trump won in 2020, we’d almost be at his term limit. Now we get 4 more years of him anyway, but now he’s even angrier and even more of a messiah figure to his followers.
If Trump was president right now Ukraine would be gone and you’d be partially responsible for making that happen by not getting Biden to 270 electoral college votes.
Learn how fptp voting works,buddy.
the only people responsible for a candidate winning are the people who voted for them…a vote for any other candidate is a vote against Trump
If Trump was president right now Ukraine would be gone
this can’t be proven
Surely Biden is also somewhat responsible yes?
That’s some pretty wild mental gymnastics you got going on there.
Except if you’re a moderate or a liberal.
Does that mean if you vote for biden then you support genocide?
lol- well your taxes still fund everything the US does. Your foot is still on the accelerator but you think the right answer to the trolley problem is ‘let Jesus take the wheel’.
But yeah, sounds like you in particular probably shouldn’t vote and let more rational people decide what death and destruction your taxes go towards ;)
inaction is a valid and rational choice in the trolley problem
Yeah, people that care more about meaningless moral absolution than actual human lives can rationalize anything.
I’m not willing to kill people. I care about human lives.
Your taxes kill people.
Remember how well the moralizing smugness worked out in 2016… yeah… keep pressing that button and see what result you get in November…
Cool- thanks again for letting me decide what your taxes pay for.
“I’ll still be a citizen a but I won’t do the tiniest thing possible in the democracy that may move the needle a little bit because I want to feel righteous”
Goddamn, these single-issue voters suck.
I would encourage you to consider voting for independent candidate. That way its more “I would vote for you if you weren’t a madman” rather than “I’m someone that doesn’t vote.”
Hope that makes sense, I’m tired
I used to vote. If you vote for a third party, in my experience, the DNC is just going to go 😭 “SPOILER! We would have gotten all of that candidate’s voters if only ballot access were even more restrictive than it already is!” 😭 And post-Perot they’ve already rigged it water tight at the presidential level, so it’s futile, even if everyone wanted the third party to win. As long neither party in the duopoly collapses, those are the options for president.
If for no other reason go vote for the ballot initiatives. You don’t have to vote for a single candidate but the ballot initiatives are essentially direct democracy with tangible outcomes to your community. If you cant support that then you’re wasting your time even thinking about politics and letting all that negativity in your head.
A spoiler vote isn’t any worse than a non-vote, but it does have the advantage of sending a message.
Arguably, Dems losing seats during Obama’s tenure was due to their lust for chasing rich corporate donors instead of working to materially improve the lives of working class citizens.
