Political Memes

Can she remember what she had for breakfast? If so, she's got my vote.

We’re electing a president, not a monarch. Nobody is above criticism, and there’s a weird segment of people who act like criticism from the left exists only to help the right.

Like, I actually saw someone say we shouldn’t do it because it’s too nuanced for the average voter, and sorry but I don’t do paternalism like that. If reading criticism of how a candidate isn’t far enough left makes you vote further right, that’s a basic political literacy problem.

Some people think criticizing is the same thing as not supporting.

If you want things to get better, you have to honestly and critically examine your leaders, not blindly support them and pretend they are flawless. Shutting down criticism is short-sighted nonsense and will only lead to worse candidates in the future.

Probably, but misogyny and racism is easier to call out than defending an old man who shouldn't be behind the wheel of a car, let alone a country.

And Trump is still too damn old, even ignoring the fact that he's a repugnant human being to boot.

I was a major biden naysayer. Id always love more but this was a huge ask that was answered. Lets kick republican ass

I'm sure the Russians already have their list of alliterative agitprop ready to test on .ml before pushing the best ones to prod on Reddit and Facebook.

The positive take would be to start with the "Trump is too old for 4 more years as a President" memes.

Instead we have these "those who don't instantly bend the knee are against us" memes that, frankly, have quite the wiff of the typical Far-Right/Foreign Propaganda Op purposefully sowing division on the Left.

I don't know.

I really dislike Harris. She's probably the bottom of my pick list for the nominee and a Dem President.

But it's not like a gaping sore of a liability the way Biden was.

I'm excited the conversation can finally shift to "Trump fell asleep during his own convention? Doesn't he seem tired in his speech?"

I think it being a woman nominee is an interesting newsworthy discussion point at a time when the other party is actively working to harm women - even if she's the last of the many other qualified women I'd rather see in the position.

I don't like her, I don't like listening to her nonsensical off the cuff statements, I thought she did very poorly in the 2020 campaign, I am anxious about a law enforcement politician as President in a system with too much Presidential power over the Justice department.

But in spite of all that, I just don't care enough to push back strongly on her.

She's boring in the neoliberal way we've gotten used to, but she's not addled and she's not a neo-Nazi, and with an interesting VP pick she's a ticket I could potentially even be excited about four months from now instead of watching her be put into a nursing home as the October surprise.

I'd love to see an actual competitive open convention, but barring that I'm just going to accept a turd sandwich that's palatable, as even that seemed like a stretch a week ago, and I'll take what I can get.

Just a reminder that Harris has a voting record to the left of all Senate Democrats.

She's a woman, and she's black, of course there will be opposition.

eyup. new directive is pushing the harris bad narrative now that project get joe to drop is complete.

And I will remain blind to them. America is about to live in the context of the Coconut Lady. (I will support whoever gets the nomination at the end of the DNC.)

This whole debate among the American left just feels to me as a big sign of "letting perfect be the enemy of good"

Thus far I've only seen memes over people salty about Biden making the right decision talking about rhetoric switching to Kamala. In fact I've seen several now.

It's like you want something to push back against so bad you need to make it!

Edit:

Yeah I was wrong... Jimmydoreisalefty is spamming anti Kamala memes right when Russia starts their 9-5 shifts like it's his job... Oh wait

What will the tankies use to justify not voting now?

Probably her prosecution of Marijuana possession.
