Political Memes

I can't find any news story about camps opening up for trans people, is this just random meming or is there substance to the claim?

I'm getting pretty tired of people victimizing themselves to such an absurd level while people are actually dying because they've been kicked off medicaid.

True but it's a minor point. Even if every single lefty held the line it wouldn't have made a difference. The people who didn't vote were mostly disengaged normal people and the blame for that is squarely on the Democrats for sucking absolute shit on purpose because of big money in politics.

Have some perspective, pick better fights with worse people. I personally find it extremely unmoving when the left chastises people over politics so good job emulating one of their worst and least politically effective qualities.

Instead, I humbly suggest you try to inspire a shred of hope among the cynical and apathetic - but deep down actually very cool people of the Earth🌠

Wonder where all those people are? Immediately after the election for several months lemmy was full of people blaming how shitty things turned out on anyone but themselves. “It’s the Democrats fault I didn’t vote even though I know trump is a fascist POS!”

NOBODY thinks the dems are great. They’re fucked up.

But they’re not Alligator Auschwitz fucked up. They’re not screw the country with tariffs fucked up. They’re not ICE Gestapo fucked up.

But that’s not the non-voters fault because this is better than some neo-lib winning.

I would have voted left if I was physically allowed to.

But also you did have a candidate that came in last minute and was a republican-sympathizer.

Do you actually blame them?

Fucking hate this narrative. Go after republicans at least half as much as you go after leftists and we wouldn't be here.

“I was headed right for the tree, but I didn’t slam on my brakes because they make a squeaking sound. I’m paralyzed now, but at least I didn’t have to listen to that damn squeak! See how much better a person I am than you because of my resolve?“

These people…

Sorry are civilians carpet-bombed in america? Are they throwing white phosphorus at your family? How can you play the victim lmao

That feeling when Democrats are turning on trans people. Pretending the Democrats will save us as a Fool's errand. Pretending that trans people wouldn't be on the chopping block if the Democrats had federal office is naive.

Some Democrats, reeling from Republican attacks tying their party to transgender rights issues, are privately furious at their leaders and explicitly warning they need a better strategy going into 2026.

You choose violence today I see. Wew lad this comment section.

Blaming people for not voting for shit candidates isn’t going to accomplish what you’re hoping for, just saying.

Honestly i get both sides of this, like im in the UK and probably not going to vote Labour next election because theyve gone really out of their way to show the left how much they hate us, despite the fact its probably going to come down to Labour or reform, but the difference is here smaller parties are actually somewhat viable. So i think in the US it does make sense to vote Dem no matter what in the actual election, but put your effort into getting actual leftits on the ballot in the first place like Mamdani.
