This meme makes me so mad. It completely misses the point that the government is supposed to be working for us. They are here to make our lives better from our collective power. The right to rule is derived from the will of the people. You are misunderstanding how government is supposed to function on an essential level.

Making it out to be the voters fault because we didn't like the shit sandwich that the were serving us is absolutely incorrect. Harris had zero progressive ideas in her platform. She ran on basically the same platform as the GOP.

As soon as you start putting the onus on the voter, you are putting our politicians up as the aristocracy. You make them into our ruling class. This is incorrect. They are supposed to execute the will of the people.

I'm just absolutely shocked that so many people are acting like the voters failed, when the DNC has done this to us so many times lately.

Why doesn't the DNC have any responsibility in your point of view?

Blaming the voters is insane. The DNC doesn't learn from their mistakes and keeps putting up awful candidates that are only there because they will maintain the status quo.

We want progress, not the same shitty economy and no healthcare and no response to climate change.

It is the political party's responsibility to put up a candidate worth voting for. We do not owe political parties mindless allegiance. You've got it backwards.

The government is supposed to work for us, not the other way around.

Harris was always a bad candidate and she had a terrible platform.

Anti universal healthcare, pro genocide, pro fracking. She literally got into a pissing contest during the debate against Trump where she was insisting that she was more pro Israel and more pro fracking than Trump.

The DNC has to put up decent candidates. They have to earn our votes. They are not entitled to them.

Makes sense to me. Tigers are ambush hunters and they love to attack from behind.

Billionaires have such a heavy say in our government that it will never go that way unless it's forced.

Whaaaaat??

A politician making a bunch of claims right before an election and then never following through on them?

Say it ain't so! Not in my America!

Yeah it's lying season. Both sides are telling us what they think we want to hear.

Lmao are you really trying to act like it's not a genocide because some bureaucratic board has been bullied into being quiet about it?

Except for wages.

A bigger issue is how people maintain their yards. Lawns are the ecological equivalent of a parking lot. Lawns are terrible for the local species, as are all of the non-native species used in modern landscaping. Once you learn what is actually native and what is not, you'll be completely shocked at how few native species we cultivate.

Another really huge issue is everyone religiously scrubbing their yard of fallen leaves. Leaves need to stay on the ground. They are essentially compost for trees, and tons and tons of bugs lay eggs in fallen leaves, including fireflies.

I quit mowing my lawn and let some native plants grow up in place of grass and stopped eradicating the fallen leaves, and that summer my yard was absolutely lit the fuck up with fireflies.

All of this is currently reversible. We just have to stop buying into stupid capitalist yard maintenance traditions and start working with the native species. It's honestly much less work than trying to make all of these Chinese species that are in everyone's yards work.

Man if I'm moving my parked car to avoid rising waters, I'm not re parking. I'm out of there.

Urges de-escalation and then gives them literally $8,000,000,000 to continue the genocide.

Trump isn't ever going to actually go to jail. That would set a precedent for us to actually keep our political leaders accountable, and that ain't happening.
