This meme is almost a decade old now isn't it?

It first appeared shortly after he was elected. It needs to be updated to the person burning their house down.

Still one of my favorites

Lol. So many dumb voters who think everything changes for the better overnight if they protest vote and don't grasp that politics is a battle of voting for the less shitty option so you can take baby steps toward something better.

In the end, all they did was set us back X number of years/decades. Thanks stupids.

Looks to be on track to setting us back about 90 years and moving us about halfway around the globe.

I'm thinking 150 years, and staying right here....

Every single time Dems have won since Carter, we have been baby stepping towards something worse. The victories for gay rights under Obama were a brief outlier in our country's otherwise uninterrupted march towards fascism.

Biden's polling low, the voters want things do be different... huh, better campaign on doing nothing different! What? They're saying we're doing a genocide? Well, better point out that Trump is gonna do a worse genocide!

That'll be a great message, exactly the sort of thing that makes people excited to vote...

"Democrats didn't entertain me enough so I didn't vote."

[–] volodya_ilich@lemm.ee 6 points 3 weeks ago

OP mentions genocide

Response frames it as entertainment

Yeah, because people should vote on excitement and engagement, not truth ... totally doesn't devolve a democratic process into one of reactionary populisms fueled by false promises. If people want to get excited, they should go to a theme park. If they have a shred of civil responsibility, they vote, specially when things were as bad as they were.

Welcome to America!

At which tax bracket do you get to enjoy life now?

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If I remember right, things start to turn around somewhere north of 350k yearly.

[–] Theonetheycall1845@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Oh neat. I'm only 320k away.....

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 weeks ago

Only one color on that map wanted things to be "different."
