The only way we lose is if we stand divided.

Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
The problem with this meme is that it's written by a shelter middle class white person. Minorities and poor people HAVE been dying due to Democrats' capitation and appeasement to Republicans for years now.
That's extremely simplistic. The complicated truth is:
duverger's "law" is basically a tautology. it does not have predictive power.
How can you discuss the flaws of First past the post and NOT want to change the voting system?
Its not that we dont, but that we effectively cant. That requires a Constitutional amendment, which requires a two-thirds vote.in both the house and senate
You're right, minorities and poor people have suffered and some died while Democrats were ostensibly in charge. What do you propose an American does on election day?
Barring a cataclysmic reordering of American politics, it's still true that voting for anyone but the Democratic candidate will increase the odds of Trump winning. Trump is a blatant liar, corrupt, rapist, and racist. He's promised to enact revenge on those he perceives as his enemies, and his proposed policies will cause suffering an order of magnitude more than what is already unjustly inflicted on minorities and the poor.
It sucks. We should have good candidates to choose from. We should have ranked choice voting and a multi-party system, but we don't.
It's inflicting harm on yourself and many others to do anything other than vote Democrat in November. There's more we can do than vote, but that's a bare minimum.
So… to summarize, conservatives are killing people, the democrats AREN’T killing people, but not doing enough to stop the people from being killed, sooooooo….
It’s best to just not try and stop the conservatives from killing more people?
Do I have that right?
Biden is actively aiding and abetting the genocide by sending munitions and tens of billions of dollars of war funding to Israel, and using America’s UN security council veto to prevent the UN from acting.
Sigh…. Again-
Trump will do FAR worse. You know this. Everyone knows this. Biden is trying to put the brakes on things there and being diplomatic with Israel is not the easiest thing to do. You know damn well that if he tried to stop it, congress wouldn’t just block that from happening.
You people don’t ever seem to understand how politics work. You think knits just so easy to simply stop doing something.
Donnie “finish the job” Trump WANTS to support Israel. And if you get your way, he’s going to-
So stop with the bleeding heart bullshit. I’m not buying it. If you cared, you do whatever it takes to keep Trump from winning the White House.
Congress has no control over the US using its Security Council veto to protect Israel at the UN.
That’s all Biden’s doing alone.
ROFL! Okay buddy.
Thank you for agreeing.
Ahhh, right. You’re putting the Edgelord’s “you agreed with me because you aren’t offering an argument!” card into play.
Whatever makes to feel like you’re not part of the problem dude. I said what needed be said. I’m not entering ignorance any longer.
You said “okay”. That generally indicates agreement.
Are you not agreeing with me? What did I say that you disagree with?
Now look up what okay buddy means.
Youre missing that those are literallynthe only two options that are available, and changing that is politically impossible
Oh I’m not missng anything. What I’m seeing is a lot of people that don’t under how shit works.
The projection is real
Oh shit. I found Candace Owens account!
Huh? Candance Owens downplays minorities' struggles, much like Democrat toadies like yourself.
Except your are parroting her rhetoric.... so I guess you're down playing minority struggles.
she has never said that the problem with democrats is that they are too much like republicans.
Nah, plenty of people besides her say this. You'd know this if you ever actually listened to the minorities you demand blindly vote for you.
This is the most devisive argument I've encountered today. I can only imagine that a republican would be this divisive. Now I know.
I took a look at their profile. Best as I can tell they're either a tankie or one of those "both sides" kids. You know the type. Not worth engaging with, IMO.
I feel like both groups fall under the idiotic umbrella of Republican.
Idk what tankies have to say about it, they're cut from the same cloth as the maga chuds.
