Political Memes

One is a good cop, the other is a bad cop. But the good cop enables the bad cop. So both are still pigs.

You're right.

I should give Democrats credit for all the times they held power and still didn't do jack shit about the VRA except wring their hands and pretend to be powerless to stop the judicial repeal of it. (2006, 2013, 2021, etc. etc. etc.)

After all. Actually doing stuff requires effort, and it's unreasonable of me to expect the opposition party to actually oppose things.

Malcolm X said:

I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.”

MLK said similar things. The longer I live, the more I feel this sentiment. The genocide in Gaza cemented this. Never, ever, mistake a liberal for an ally.

JFC the amount of people in this thread who want a more palatable tyrant to be the next president, is concerning.

Good thing most of these never leave their parents’ basements though.

Definitely kicked the hornets nest with this one OP lol

There's entirely too many people who let perfect be the enemy of better in this thread

Thank God the Democrats sacrificed their majority to keep the filibuster

Average lemming when 6 conservative Catholics appointed by Republicans gut voting rights: I can’t believe the leftists did this!

I mean if one guy murders 7 people and the other murders 70, sure there's a difference, you're right.

My standpoint is this: I feel betrayed by the betrayals, I'm frustrated by the things Democrats didn't do when they were in power. I accept as an unfortunate reality, at least some 1-15% of the Democratic party (can absolutely be more!) is corrupt and cares only about the NASDAQ, themselves, or Israel and ethnostates. That bloc will vote hard against anything pro-American like healthcare, defunding ICE, or defunding Israel. They might even pretend to support those things at times when no vote will pass.

There's also more than a few timid, ineffective Democrats that are only voting for obvious wins, and won't vote against any appointments because they don't want attention on themselves.

A lot of that, ultimately, doesn't matter. That type of opportunistic traitor, or coward, doesn't get much of a mechanism in a supermajority, where their choice to stand against Democrats doesn't even buy them anything; when over 50 seats in the Senate are NOT bought out by corporate interests.

By all fucking means, pick out the betrayals, watch people's individual voting records, vote in primaries, and raise a stern eyebrow anytime a voter tells you they "vote blue, no matter who". But don't pretend you can't look past nuance. We're dealing with a mammoth (R)ogue political party, which is the unfortunate reality, and even cutthroats could decide they benefit from taking credit in its destruction.

Maybe Dems should try standing for something more than the status quo.

I think if you would understand that Democrats chose to keep funding Israel and Ice instead of getting more votes, you would understand why this meme doesn't mean jack shit for the undecisive voters.

Unless of course, you want to say that it wasn't worth it in terms of voter count for Democrats.

I like how we all keep posting memes and jerking eachother off instead of burning down Babylon.

Don't worry folks, fascism will just blow over soon, lol.

Real talk, if anyone genuinely believes this meme, they're a fool. The parties in the US, and anywhere else, for that matter, are substantially different from one another.

Namely, Democrats only support Genocides in the middle east MOST of the time, whereas Republicans support it ALL OF THE TIME.
