Nononono you see life is easier if you just say BoTh SiDeS and move on. Sort of. You kind of have to repeat this mantra every time politics comes up for the rest of your life. But it sure beats thinking! That shit is hard!

ITT: the same right wing trolls pretending to be leftists. Don't even bother.

Actually significantly below average even by the low bar of the Dem leadership. He was the most conservative democrat candidate in a field that included Amy Klobuchar and two billionaires, one of whom is a former republican.

He's barely to the left of Joe Manchin and neoliberals pretend that he's the most progressive president ever 🤦

And yes, of course he's still a much better choice than the Mango Mussolini, but talk about a low fucking bar!

Hitler only lived to age 56. If trump had only lived to 56, he would've died in 2002, before The Apprentice had even aired. That's the better timeline for sure.

Ok great, we worked out what to do on election day. Now, what are we going to do the rest of the time? We must organize and build political structures outside the two parties, must force action to change the way the fundamental government of the United States operates so that it is a democratic body void of money, gerrymandering, the senate, and the nature of the Supreme Court. Congresspeople must represent a realistic and small number of people.

My family fought in both world wars. My grampa was part of the North African campaign, a cousin went down on the HMS Hood after being sunk by the Bismarck during the Battle of the Denmark Strait...

Living in Canada and watching our neighbours to the south gleefully embrace the fascism we ALL fought against is both disgusting and terrifying.

How the hell did this happen?

The problem is that the democrats / social democrats around the world have really become corporatism and are now exploiting the far right - they don't have to enact left wing policies and can move further to the right or just do nothing. And then you're called to prevent "literal hitler". Yeah you have to, but it's a catch 22.

A "green new deal" or universal healthcare isn't even talked about anymore. People are just so sick of this shitocracy. And it's spreading everywhere.

This is the conversation created by the system. There were many other candidates than biden in 2020, but the party colluded to make biden the presidential nominee. Nothing stopped democrats from running a different candidate this year either except some superstition about the "incumbent advantage". Remember when that incumbent advantage worked in trump's favor in 2020...? Oh wait, it's all bullshit when your favorability rating is so damn low like it is for biden right now. It's okay, if we close our eyes and ears and scream "BUT THE OTHER GUY" loud enough, I'm sure it'll all work out. We should be asking why the machine only has two buttons, starting from a low bar and only going lower.

Where is the 3rd button with "Become an actuall democracy"?

As far as I'm concerned, Biden is running unopposed this year.

The media is more interested in promoting a contest than acknowledging the facts.

The reason we need to have this conversation every time is because we want to live in a democracy

Riddle me this. If he's literally Hitler how come no one has used their hypothetical time machine to hypothetically eliminate him?

The US is kinda primed to really like their hitlers.

Figuratively Hitler. Literal Hitler is a skeleton by now.

Even Hitler in his final hours wasn't as utterly deranged as Trump.

Jesus christ this has gotta be one of the most annoying conversations people have every four years. uhhh we gotta vote because the other candidate is literally hitler guys he's literally hitler. uhhhh noooo I don't wanna vote at all because I'm cranky and my candidate has dementia and sucks waaaaah.

I feel like I'm stuck in a fucking time loop. I would much rather see people being like, oh you hate our options, like a sane person, but will probably vote anyways because it takes like an afternoon at most, if you really feel like it and hopefully don't have anything more important to do? Instead of this meme, I'd rather see like, oh, here's some shit you can do, here's some organization you can join, here's some place you can donate money, something like that. Here's what building you should throw a brick through the window of, you know? I'd rather see that, than these dumb ragebait memes.
