    People keep making these memes and telling people not to vote like there isn’t a fucking maniac with a much worse plan for the U.S than anything Biden could ever do.

    We should keep voting-in democrats and force them to present younger candidates. Letting Trump win is definitely not going to get you what you want, and the democrats aren’t “learning” anything when you don’t vote.

    People need to protest after electing these idiots. There has to be a name for how tame America is at protesting things like healthcare and corruption, while instead fighting each other of BLM and other acronyms.

      The Democrats will learn that people will vote them in regardless of whether they run a wet sock of a candidate or a true progressive because the alternative is worse.

        Nah. If they don’t vote, Democrats will think “oh, that demographic doesn’t vote. They can be ignored, like the youth” and would drift further right in order to attract votes from people who actually vote.

      Yeah, voting en masse for the shit they put up every four years is definitely gonna “force them to present younger candidates.”

      Nah I think making them realize they’ll never win unless they ACTUALLY move left is probably more effective a strategy

        So their too dumb to inact good policies and you think you’ll “make them realize”. Ypi won’t have a democracy left. You force them by protesting while in office, not by whining from your keyboard.

        Big issue is that right now, if the GoP wins, they are going to do everything in their power to make any election always go their way

        Really the proper solution is guillotines, but that’s a bit hard in this day and age, leaving, “Democrats until the GoP is no longer a fascist dictatorial danger” as the only realistic solution

        Which the Dems know and is why they won’t move left - Because they KNOW that, for now, the option is “A beating or getting your limbs gnawed off by a rat”

      The Vote Blue No Matter Who crowd was very vocal about “Just get Biden elected and then we’ll help push him Left”. Then we got Biden into the White House and the pushing him Left went silent.

        And the MAGA crowd is very vocal about “just get Trump into the white house, by election or by force, and then we’ll help him replace democracy with a fascist dictatorship.” Then they got Trump into the White House and once his term ended they attempted a fucking coup to prevent the peaceful transition of power.

        But hey, I guess that’s preferable to a boring, run of the mill president who isn’t quite as left as I’d prefer???

          Better get off Lemmy then and start canvassing and calling people threatening them to vote for Biden or else.

            Earlier in this thread you defended yourself by saying you were “actually telling the truth.”

            This person isn’t “threatening” anything. They are simply stating the reality, the truth.

      I’ve been adding to this meme since the 3rd mugshot. It’s still humorous in a dystopian way.
