Political Memes

I hate that evil Emperor Palpatine. That's why I support Dedra Meero for Emperor. She's a real firecracker that believes in the righteousness of the Empire to maintain order.

Man you keep just making a variation on the same "fuck the leftists" line over and over again.

As a trans person, you can suck my girl dick. I am not a cudgel to be used by shitty libs to sheepdog votes for their nonexistent policy.

Trans rights keep being eroded, regardless of who is in power, because the Democratic Party isn't doing anything to preserve them.

This is such a tired narrative. You guys really want to focus on the leftists when half the country voted for an authoritarian?

Every movement has its radical fringe. Virtue signaling either your ideological purity or your solidarity with the only viable opposition are equally feeble attempts at clinging to a notion of victory in the face of total defeat.

EDIT: I wasn't expecting this comment to generate discussion but since it did, let me elaborate on what I meant by "total defeat." The defeat is not an electoral loss, it's the fact that we have relinquished so much political power that all we have left is voting for one of a set of compromised politicians every few years. It's a tired argument because it assumes that it's possible to vote our way out of the mess we're in, and it simply isn't. We need to attack the point of production because it's where the ruling class derives its power. And arguing about our sham elections is getting us nowhere.

Fascism is not a break from the previous administration, but a continuation.

Libs are still crying about their loss of power, still doing nothing to resist.

When asked what Kamala's opinion was about Trans people and protections, all she said is "they should follow the law".

The fuck is that non answer

You already had camps tbh, you've had them for many years now

I feel like takes like this come from people with no long term memory. Do you remember the pro-palestinian crowd begging Kamala Harris to even pretend like she'd do something to help? And she basically told them to vote for Trump? Blame the Democratic party for choosing to be fascism-light instead of actual resistance.

OP admits that they would cast a vote to put trans people in camps if the situation was right. This meme is ridiculous coming from a person like that.

Ah, this Pug Jesus. Always angry at leftists showing they're just Republican lite. Got it.

Folks, OP is a well known anti-socialist who routinely creates messy drama. Nothing to see here, move along.

They do also post quite a lot of nice historical content, which I quite appreciate. Maybe go enjoy that.

You know how before the elections we say that it's not the time to nitpick the Democratic Party because it's more important to have it win so that the fascist won't win?

Well, now we are not before elections, which means that now it is the time to nitpick the Democratic Party.

Holy blame shifting, Batman!

Thank you. I really don't get those people.

And I mean, the Democratic party doesn't exist in a vacuum. If you don't try to change anything, of course the awful "moderates" stay in charge. But it is possible to overtake them, just look at Mamdani. But some people won't even try that because "it's a lost case"…

CIA ass post

Are we talking about the same Democratic Party who put forward Kamala "I believe we should follow the law" Harris as their only candidate for president?

How you people manage to convince yourselves that a Democratic Party win would achieve anything at all for trans rights, is beyond belief!

The dems are literally rolling over for fascism. They are complicit.

If the "online lefties" were so powerful a block perhaps Dem's leadership should have courted their vote. If they were so minor a block that "online lefties" should be ignored then you're targeting the wrong people.

But you know this already, I told you before the election that way to win the "no genocide" vote isn't to try convince them to vote "yes genocide". It's to try convince the leaders to stop supporting genocide.

This post is the same punching down shit you were doing before the election.

It's a little late now that there's camps, sure. If people had refused harder to put up with shitty democrats in the past, like.. decades past.. then the dems would've lost to past republicans who weren't quite dictators.

In that alternate past where the dems actually lose for being center-right corporatists, they would've had to get some kind of spine or plan or... something.. earlier to protect our public news and education from authoratarian misinformation and maybe prevented this bullshit.

In this current world that we actually have though... I mean you saw we elected Biden, right? And you saw how much good that did -- right? We need somebody on our side with some teeth and rolling over for milquetoast donation collectors is not going to get it for us.

Its been over a year and people still are freaking out about this? And not the fact that the democrats have basically rolled over at every turn to trump and the GOPs demands?

The dems did not do s good job mobilizing their voter base. A bunch of people didnt like genocide. A bunch of people didnt like Biden. A bunch of people held their nose and voted for him the first time when he said he would get rid of student loans and be a one term president. He reneged on almost every single promise he made. He then committed genocide. People didnt like it. The DNC shoved him and Kamala down everyone's throats instead of having an actual election. They've fucked themselves 3 cycles in a row now and then start complaining about socialists.

They were all vote blue no matter who when it was Biden or Kamala but now Mamdani won in NY and they're all teaming up with the Republicans to stop him. Maybe thats why they keep fucking losing - they dont want to listen to their own base.

What do regular people want? Higher taxes on the rich, more affordable housing and food, Healthcare for all, and good education. All they've done is say well this will hurt billionaires feelings so we cant do it.

If genocide isn't a red line for you then you don't have red lines. You will literally vote for rounding up trans people and gassing them as long as the opposing candidate wants to torture them before execution because "it's the lesser evil"

I voted for Harris, am I allowed to be mad that the Democrats are still gung ho about Israeli genocide yet? Or do I need to shout blue no matter who for another few decades?

Not voting and voting for trump were both stupid choices. But attacking people who didn't vote for trump instead of those who did is fucking bananas and I don't get the point of this. Are we expecting a resounding vote in 2028 for Harris again is going to fix everything? Come the fuck on.

I'm both of these people at the same time. Voting for centrists doesn't work
