That’s their job on the tag team. One side stands for “the right”, it can be Ds or Rs (they have switched sides a couple times).
You’re not stopping one by voting in the other. You’re not preventing harm.
I will vote Democrat in the upcoming election… but know the game, and the players. The Ds aren’t going to fix anything, they are damage control (for now).
Vote D! But open your eyes and watch what they do. It’s a POLL, a barometer.
I mean, yeah. I feel that is shifting though, because now we’ve got MAGA and full on white supremacists in power, so it’s kinda not the same as it was with “oh yeah they are both the same” like the 90s and 00s.
The point of the meme is that it is the situation we are in where neither party is doing anything to help workers.
So you think we should let the people who want to do maximal harm have office. Got it.
In the elections since Reagan was elected president both dnc and gop have rushed farther right. We’re at the point dnc and dems are trying to run as the party and ideals of saint reagan.
Neither party gives a shit about workers and everytime that is brought up we get shit like this said that oh well you just want the GOP to win
Bruv, everyone knows neither party gives a shit about workers. And nobody likes the Democrats, not even Democrats.
No one is here saying Democrats are great. I am most definitely not saying Democrats are great. I have no love for the doormat party.
Buuuuuut
The reality of the situation we’re in right now, as things are, is that they are, effectively, the only other political party than Republicans. The Green party, libertarians, the communist party, everything else, they don’t have any political power. Right now, you might see some in lower offices if you’re lucky.
You know, because of the whole “winner take all, also that’s how elections work” thing.
And since the Republican party is, quite obviously, doing a fascism…
IF YOU DON’T WANT FASCISTS IN OFFICE YOU HAVE TO VOTE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO CAN WIN AGAINST FASCISTS IN THE ELECTION.
(And also do other stuff outside of voting but we’re talking about voting and elections specifically here not community building and other stuff you should also be doing not just voting)
So yeah. The DNC sucks. It’s right wing while pretending to give a shit. It’s still capitalist. It still does war. It’s not what you want and that sucks.
But you’re gonna have to eat that shit sandwich because they are the only people who are running against the overtly fascist party and winning. They know it, you know it, and until there’s a viable third party that starts winning against both of them, until we get national ranked choice voting, until gerrymandering is illegal everywhere, that’s the situation we’re in.
So yeah. We know they suck, don’t care about st Regan, and it’s really shitty to hear, but yeah, if you don’t want more fascists in office, sorry, you gotta vote for the capitalists.
One thing that you can do (outside of Luigitime or everything else outside of voting we’re talking about elections here) is make sure you vote in the primaries. People overlook them and you can try to get the most left person you can on the ballot. Or run yourself for office, maybe you’ll win and be the first third party president ever, idk.
But for fucks sake don’t be part of the 33% of people who didn’t vote.
1st point they’re both fascist parties, since post 9/11 at least. Could be argued happened before but post 9/11 really stopped hiding it.
2nd this is exactly what the meme is going on about. vote for the dnc it’ll totally be different this time. The issue is with our voting system AND the major parties captured so they only act in the interests of the wealthy. This rant just attacks the voters not cause.
But please continue and take frustrations out at those pointing it out while hoping our dear leaders will stop pulling the football away
When you say it that way, boy, am I happy to vote for the break all my limbs and put me into months of recovery I cannot actually afford because of this party’s policies, party.
If wishes were horses, beggers would ride. We don’t live in that reality yet, so while we’re building that, I’m going to do the care minimum effort thing of voting to not let more of the fascists have power.
Because one causes less harm than the other
That’s their job on the tag team. One side stands for “the right”, it can be Ds or Rs (they have switched sides a couple times).
You’re not stopping one by voting in the other. You’re not preventing harm.

One causes harm and the other says that harm only needs 10% fixing
And then doesn’t fix it at all.
sorry that has to wait until after next election or we won’t win the election

Ok so what’s your solution with the situation we have right now, in regards to voting?
1- vote Republican, the overt fascist, white nationalists take over.
2- vote third party, they lose, either Republicans win or a Democrat might win, though doing that might help Republicans win.
3- don’t vote, and who knows who wins, though not voting trends to help Republicans.
4- vote Democrat, even though they suck, so that Republicans don’t win. The capitalist, not white nationalists win.
Edit: also never made the claim the DNC would change things? Like once? Wtf bro
It’s pretty clear there isn’t a solution in regards to voting.
I’d say vote 3rd party but you’re already saying that’s the same as doing nothing. Honestly you did 4 points of nothing changing by voting.
But again this is literally the meme.
vote for the dnc, maybe this time they’ll let you kick the ball
Choose between broken legs and arms or a lobotomy. One is clearly less harm.
Uh. Yea? I’ll take the broken limbs. Problem?
Cool now you have broken limbs that don’t get repaired properly so either get infected or heal in ways that make them unusable
Hell yea, not brain damage. Sign me up.
Cool now you have broken limbs that don’t get repaired properly so either get infected or heal in ways that make them unusable
When you say it that way, boy, am I happy to vote for the break all my limbs and put me into months of recovery I cannot actually afford because of this party’s policies, party.
Yeah. Both are a lot of harm. One is less bad though. What’s your point?
My point is that wouldn’t it be better that, instead of harming you, one or both would try to help you live your life? You know this is a possibility.
If wishes were horses, beggers would ride. We don’t live in that reality yet, so while we’re building that, I’m going to do the care minimum effort thing of voting to not let more of the fascists have power.
