- 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 an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Our presidential election is coming up this fall and we are on the ledge of losing our democracy depending on the outcome. It's kinda on our minds quite a bit.
no offence or anything, this is not some democracy superhero vs evil dictator doomsday show off. Its a bunch of political candidates up for election with different policies. Its really misleading and unhealthy to assume your world is doomed if the candidate you support is not going to win. Same as it is believing that if your candidate wins you somehow managed to accomplish a heroic deed. The hardened polarization of the 2 camps in the USA gets worse and worse each cycle.
What a disgustingly myopic and privileged take.
I love that lemmy shows upvotes and downvotes seperatly
