    Funny how every time the GIOP does something awful we see a lot of BoTh SIdes ArE The SAMe memes.

    No actual plans or ideas, but lots of memes telling people not to vote.

      Both sides are complicit in genocide. Sure, technically both sides aren’t the same, but once you get to that level you’re splitting hairs.

      While those of us who are wealthier like to make fun of poor people who vote for Republicans because they’re the pro-corporate candidate, strictly speaking they’re just the ones who are honest about it. LGBT rights, immigrant rights, and the rule of law are important but they’re also mirages. The democrats sold out LGBT people and immigrants as soon as they saw it wasn’t helping them (that isn’t to say it was hurting them, just not helping), and the rule of law has barely been a thing for a while in America.

      Obama double-tapped children using drones, so he could get the paramedics too.

      America is a unique country. One where the left-wing party has become the right, and vice-versa. As a result the supposed left-wing party in the Democrats is built on a foundation of slavery. That can’t be repaired without a miracle.

        So now the genocide in Gaza has been ramped up exponentially, plus the genocide in Ukraine is getting worse.

        Are you saying you don’t understand the difference between bad and much, much worse?

      Have an upvote. Both sides are not the same. Anyone who can’t distinguish between them is seriously not fully operational.

            You just fucking said you can’t vote away fascism. So if fascism is already here, which it is, you’re saying it can’t be voted away, which HEAVILY implies that one shouldn’t vote cuz it’s pointless; fascism can’t be voted away, so why vote?

            Do you need any other explanations, you obtuse jackass pretending not to know how language works?

              thats your conclusion. i literally don’t care if you bother voting.

              i even stated this much, how is that so hard to understand? do you need me to clarify something? why the fuck are you that angry?

      The result of not voting sits in the White House. In politics there is no silent majority.

        Thank you. You’re going to get a lot of nonsense where people keep telling you that voting is meaningless. Don’t listen.

          Billonairs and stupid MAGA workers are the minority and always vote right wings, but they turn to a mayority if the left working class don’t vote. Simple Math.

            you missed the point. democrats are not leftists and will be just as bad.

            don’t blame leftists for how fascists coopt an electoral system in their favour.

              I know that the US voting system is a crap and that there don’t exist a real keft party, Democrats there are a conservative neoliberal party and Republicans are direct a Fascist one. But even so between the bad and the worse, voting the worse don’t make sensem less if it is done for the second time. Anyway for me as an European it’s impossible to understand why this criminal asshole is in the WhiteHouse and not in Jail since tears ago. In the last US election you could hear out of the US worldwide the sound of a violent facepalm.

                leftists aren’t really voting for trump though. most leftists i know vote for the lesser evil, but with the consciousness it ain’t doing much.

                the way fascism coopts the masses and capitalism lets it, thats literally fascism running its course. its been documented throughout history.

                it comes up when capitalism is in crisis and the people aren’t aware of the class war being fought against them. part of that comes from thinking politics is just voting for the lesser evil.

                    they are a part of it, but think mainstream media in general. including hollywood, big tech and shit.

                    there is a reason the burgeoise owns most media.

      Is the response for “if was Kamala nothing of this would happen”.

      “The strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world.” would do the same fucking shit
