I remember a time when c/memes was all about funny memes and not megacringe

At some point you have to see that you are posting Pootie's 'both sides' bullshit.

How about liberals choose a candidate worth voting for for once, instead of begging leftists to support their shitty neolib ghouls

Because then they would have to pretend to care for poor people. This way, they can just help Trump get elected in primaries, so they can just scare people into voting for their horrible candidates instead. They know what they are doing and it is working.

Joe Biden is going to kill thousands of people, and his actions will make fascism in the US inevitable. He's on record in the past saying the IDF doesn't go far enough in its murder of Palestinians. He's a terrible person. Please vote against him in the primary. A Biden presidency will end lives.

Please vote for him if he wins the primary. His election will delay fascism in the US by four years. It will make time for thousands of trans refugees to escape America. He might be persuaded to pressure Israel to call a ceasefire. A Biden presidency will save lives.

By the way, this thing I'm doing is called nuance. You should try it some time.

You need to do more than that if you want to fight fascism in America. Primaries aren't fair, the rich choose who gets elected. And by voting for any prowar candidate instead of some other prowar candidate will not change much either, as there is nothing more important than the loss of human lives. As important as trans rights are, people in Gaza can't escape now and they are actively being killed now. Focusing on trans rights now is like saying "All lives matter", they do, but no body is saying they don't, we just have people who are under threat right now.

Yes, of course I'm doing more than voting to change politics. I'm a soulist, I'm also helping grow waylets and establishing mutual support networks and doing war against the gods. When's the last time you tried to destroy reality?

Voting Biden. Hoping it matters.

BTW: scammed.

If Lemmy is to survive we need to get that spelling correct in our memes or we are not better than post-IPO-Reddit.
