      People keep making these memes and telling people not to vote like there isn’t a fucking maniac with a much worse plan for the U.S than anything Biden could ever do.

      We should keep voting-in democrats and force them to present younger candidates. Letting Trump win is definitely not going to get you what you want, and the democrats aren’t “learning” anything when you don’t vote.

      People need to protest after electing these idiots. There has to be a name for how tame America is at protesting things like healthcare and corruption, while instead fighting each other of BLM and other acronyms.

        democrats aren’t “learning” anything when you don’t vote.

        The Democrats will learn that people will vote them in regardless of whether they run a wet sock of a candidate or a true progressive because the alternative is worse.

          Nah. If they don’t vote, Democrats will think “oh, that demographic doesn’t vote. They can be ignored, like the youth” and would drift further right in order to attract votes from people who actually vote.

        Yeah, voting en masse for the shit they put up every four years is definitely gonna “force them to present younger candidates.”

        Nah I think making them realize they’ll never win unless they ACTUALLY move left is probably more effective a strategy

          So their too dumb to inact good policies and you think you’ll “make them realize”. Ypi won’t have a democracy left. You force them by protesting while in office, not by whining from your keyboard.

        The Vote Blue No Matter Who crowd was very vocal about “Just get Biden elected and then we’ll help push him Left”. Then we got Biden into the White House and the pushing him Left went silent.

        I’ve been adding to this meme since the 3rd mugshot. It’s still humorous in a dystopian way.

      That is the point of these. There is a high chance these posters are foreign propaganda.

      It’s interesting how there is no philosophical difference between certain foreign nations and the American right. They are both threatened by American democracy.

        Ah yes god forbid people want to say “my vote is worth something, you can’t use it for genocide”.
