WE'RE ~~NOT~~ GOING BACK!

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 88 points 2 months ago

Remember when we thought he was hosed and were laughing about how he totally wasted this moment?

[-] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 147 points 2 months ago

The thing is, he DID waste it.

And then Kamala hired Hillary's campaign advisers, got rid of her 2 most popular slogans (We're not going back + They are weird) and started hugging Dick Cheney's right-wing daughter. Kamala's campaign is somehow more embarrassing and incompetent than Hillary's, and that's saying something.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 81 points 2 months ago

hired Hillary's campaign advisers

Lol Lmao

[-] VILenin@hexbear.net 71 points 2 months ago

I choose to believe that it’s the happy birthday tweet that did her in

[-] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 87 points 2 months ago

Nah, objectively and logically it was when she said who-must-go must go.

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 57 points 2 months ago

She really tried to get all the jinx's

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 29 points 2 months ago

He wasted it, but he was playing against the Washington Generals in this election cycle.

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago

This was the easiest election to win for both parties, yet they kept fumbling

Imagine still being correct 100 years after your death

[-] dustbunnies@hexbear.net 23 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

not hard to imagine at this point

honestly seems like the most basic fucking sense, what is wrong with people

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 73 points 2 months ago

I'm on r/politics so I can enjoy some classic reddit-logo posts

[-] Coca_Cola_but_Commie@hexbear.net 34 points 2 months ago

Oh, wow, I haven't visited r/politics in so many years. This is something else. A real blast of nostalgia.

Seeing these awful, smug people so lost and confused and angry almost makes me feel good. They have no idea what's going on.

Evergreen meme.

[-] real@hexbear.net 37 points 2 months ago

Can someone please explain it to me?

[-] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 89 points 2 months ago

You see, the chapotraphouse subreddit was big supporters of Bernie Sanders so when he lost the Dem election in 2019 there was chaos there mostly coping and the most upvoted Post in that time became a Picture of Lenin saying "and were did that bring you? Back to me" and the MLs started talking about the failures of electoralism in liberal democracy and radicalising the bernie people

It was a fun time

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago

I knew I first saw the meme there but is that actually its origin too?

[-] asa_red_heathen@hexbear.net 49 points 2 months ago

Technically the quote "And where did that bring you? Back to me." is a line Thanos says in Avenger's Endgame. It became a larger meme that then birthed the chapo bit and you know the rest.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 32 points 2 months ago

FUCK yes thank you I knew there was something else to it, I've seen exactly zero MCU shit since Iron Man so I forgot about that

[-] Castor_Troy@hexbear.net 30 points 2 months ago

Lenin was the man who pushed for the socialists in Russia to rise up in active revolution when nearly all other socialist leaders wanted to collaborate with the bourgeois government. He single-handedly made sure the October Revolution was launched an the USSR was created. He also spent lots of years arguing against other socialists who thought working inside electoral systems was the "right" way to bring about progressive changes.

I don't know how it's possible that both Lenin and Schwarzenegger remind me of my dad, but here I am I guess.

damn to think that image has haunted my dreams for over four years now

[-] Snackuleata@hexbear.net 29 points 2 months ago

Thank you Mr Lenin, sir

[-] Leegh@hexbear.net 29 points 2 months ago

I love how this meme has become a posting tradition every US election since the Chapo subreddit days.

[-] dkr567@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I'm fully expecting that people will get more angry on DEI/"ugly" characters and other bullshit cultural war than actually even attempt at becoming politically aware. pain
