A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.
Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.
RULES:
- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

semantics - and thus we fight. point proven. Orange Hitler didn't win against left. left couldn't agree if they save democracy or defend democracy so they did neither
You say semantics, but I find that liberals genuinely can't seem to decide if their political leaders are "super good people, actually", or "admittedly terrible war criminals, but not as bad as the other guy".
because it doesn't matter. in a two-party system, there are only worse and better to choose from. the flavor can be discussed if better is chosen.
i'm not a fan of democrats either. but who cares? we don't need to discuss if americans voted good or bad, because they voted worst.
who cares if the turd tastes like vanilla ice cream or if the vanilla ice cream tastes like shit when enough people agreed on a plain pile of shit.
I think it does matter. When it comes to leadership, and winning elections, you need candidates that are more than just vanilla-scented diarrhea. Not only is is hard to get excited about diarrhea, but your nicer diarrhea is just going to lead to worse diarrhea. Gas lighting people about how this diarrhea isn't diarrhea at all doesn't help either.
I would have rather even fewer people had voted. Boycott elections where the best you can hope for is more diarrhea. Stop giving any legitimacy to such a system.
