Political Memes

I voted in Taiwan. I had to take a 1 hour train ride to the American embassy to vote.

I'm so tired of this. Obviously more people need to be more politically active, but there's a lot of issues occurring that we just don't talk about enough here.

Being politically active while being a responsible and well-informed voter takes time. The first without the other two is just how you make more Republican voters. When you consider how much a lot of people are working and the other struggles they're facing it really isn't surprising that a lot of people are not that informed or active. Let's also not pretend that one party doesn't go out of its way to make it more difficult for people to vote either.

Other the other side of the issue there's a myriad of issues that have made our current democrats less motivated to be an opposition party. Also, let me just point out that a party should never sit back and watch simply because they are not currently in full control of congress at the given moment. The Republicans have led by example on this repeatedly. Even when they aren't in control they continue to be aggressive, to be disruptive, to keep a media presence. Democrats can do this too. They need to.

This isn't to say that Democrats are completely to blame. There's a lot of shitty people in this country and there are people out there that can do a bit more than what they're doing to support the cause. This is just to say that Democrats share some responsibility and some of the burden here.

Also I just want to put this out there. I know people are scared, people are angry, people are upset, but the blame game isn't doing anyone any good. It is important to understand what went wrong, but spending all our time pointing fingers is simply wasting energy.

I feel like too many people don't know how passing laws work.

We all voted for Biden even though we KNEW he would be worthless but that's who was forced on us...and then for four years he ABSOLUTELY REFUSED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE to do his Number One Job of defending the US against domestic terrorism and insurrection.

ABSOLUTE REFUSAL.

And then his successor campaigns as a GWB acolyte and gives vague, rambling non-answers to very simple questions while telling the constituency to go fuck themselves.

You figure it out

This is assuming we didn't vote and things weren't "lost".

We deserved a hand recount at least. The fact that they didn't try is telling.

Democrats do anything but take accountability for their mistakes any% Speedrun challenge (impossible).

Jokes aside at what point do you stop pointing the finger at everyone else and recognize that you just fucked up? Political parties aren't owed votes. They have to earn votes.

The Democrats failed to earn enough votes against Trump TWICE.

I don't even wanna hear some shit about it being a rigged election or anything. The right was screaming about 2020 being rigged for 4 years and y'all kept telling them it was ridiculous and they just need to suck it up because they lost.

The Democrats will lose again in 2028 if they do not make serious changes up and down their party.

i voted for fetterman and he's more useless at resisting tyranny than a wet blanket

I agree with this, but it seems to be more of a far-right nazi issue. In Germany, it was again the young, white men that turned nazi that almost won the nazis the election. Let that sink in. The nazis almost won an election in Germany. Here, we have the same issues, but with gerrymandering, voter suppression and swing state election officials cheating occasionally. It's our young white men that have a ton of energy, want to see change, and have lost their way when looking for someone to help them do that, that are our biggest threat.
