dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

And the DNC is perfectly happy with the outcome, because capital remains unthreatened.

And they just blame the left and go even harder right

I dunno about "lost". They raised plenty of money and their base will be terrified into record donations for the next four years. Plus now they can wash their hands of the ongoing nuclear brinkmanship in Ukraine and the sending of US built weapons to Isn'trael. Not to mention they can go back fear mongering american women into giving them money to "protect their abortion rights!" All because a bunch of tankies and racist couldn't vote for the first woman of color to run for the office and her woke grandpa. Really when you think about it, the whole situation was out of their control.

I know it’s a meme but can someone explain to me a little bit about how they abandoned workers and progressive bases.

[–] NeelixBiederman@hexbear.net 54 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ignoring "Medicare for all", student loan debt, "uncommitted" and student voice for peace contingents, in addition to ignoring ongoing labor struggles like the Amazon union, Starbucks union, UPS contract negotiations, the worst resolution to the "railroad strike", weak price gouging proposals to protect consumers.

The fact they keep insisting that the previous 4 years has been the greatest for labor movements in the last century, and that Biden is historically the most Union friendly president makes me feel some type of way.

I think he cleared the very low bar of being better for unions than Obama, Clinton, or Carter, despite literally breaking a rail strike. So that's the best in over 50 years. I have found myself wondering if I might not be a communist if he had gotten elected in 2008 instead of Obama because he genuinely seemed more open to making progressives happy at first. Then the progressive stuff expired and he reimposed austerity on his own economic achievements while big corporations raked in profits shrug-outta-hecks

They abandoned campaigning on things that would appeal to progressives and workers, and instead campaigned on policies designed to appeal to center right, or “moderate” republicans. Turns out 90% of republicans will vote republican anyways, and in the process they dumped a large portion of their historical voter base. Hence, the roughly 15million vote deficit this election compared to 2020’s Dem turnout. In fact, the numbers indicate that a portion of the Dem 2020 vote turned Red this election.

You have to confront voter apathy, the Reds do this by blaming minorities, the Blue’s fuck this up by insisting everything is great, and besides the other side is worse, so vote for 4 more years of the same!

It’s not hard to see how this messaging falls flat when you’re deciding between groceries and rent.

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemm.ee 11 points 6 days ago

Yeah I actually get that here that decision is made for you and most people couldn’t afford rent anyways even with two people working.

What do you think neoliberalism is

[–] SadArtemis@hexbear.net 14 points 6 days ago

Whoever won, fascism would be the real winner within the present system anyways. The US simply chose the (somehow, magically and astoundingly) less repulsive, less dishonest, less bloodthirsty fascist tendency (not to say they a choice for a """lesser""" genocidal evil is ever remotely acceptable).

[–] Lurker123@hexbear.net 13 points 6 days ago

To be sure, the republicans have controlled the Supreme Court since 1969, so it’s not like they lost all three branches of government with this election.
