It first appeared shortly after he was elected. It needs to be updated to the person burning their house down.
Still one of my favorites
Lol. So many dumb voters who think everything changes for the better overnight if they protest vote and don't grasp that politics is a battle of voting for the less shitty option so you can take baby steps toward something better.
In the end, all they did was set us back X number of years/decades. Thanks stupids.

Every single time Dems have won since Carter, we have been baby stepping towards something worse. The victories for gay rights under Obama were a brief outlier in our country's otherwise uninterrupted march towards fascism.

Looks to be on track to setting us back about 90 years and moving us about halfway around the globe.

Since the Democrats didn't give every single thing on the bLuEmAGa screechers wishlist, ofc Trump was the perfect alternative!
Definitely not an example of letting perfection become the enemy of good or anything!
Edit: To whoever replied to me, but probably has me blocked since I can't see it (only the reply counter) unblock me if you're going to reply to me, coward!
Uh, that means you blocked them.
Thanks, I never block anybody but sure enough pancakes was on it lol
Letting perfection become the enemy of good? Good is funding a genocide?
Also, I've never blocked anyone.
Now we’re funding a genocide and making life worse for everyone else. Huzzah!
Yup, it's pretty outstanding. We're a nation of gullible, hateful idiots it seems.

My b, you somehow got blocked on accident as I also never block anybody.
Anyways
Good is funding a genocide?
There was keeping the status quo at worse (Harris) and then there was throwing the dial to 11 and opening new potential genocide fronts right here in America! (Trump)
Oh no worries, I probably said something stupid at some point.
I completely agree with everything you're saying except that the Harris campaign was good. There were no good choices this election, there was just an objectively wrong one. I voted for Harris anyway because trump is obviously worse by far, I think I'm just still pissed at her milquetoast center right campaign.
As a fellow reluctant Harris voter, I wonder if people like them think that anyone who criticized Harris/the campaign didn't vote. I know A LOT of hardcore leftists that are left of even me and every one of them voted. Some would maybe not say it out loud in a group, but they all did just in case Trump had the votes lol. It's a shame they sacrificed their morals not only for Harris to lose, but now they're also being blamed for it. If people had anti lib energy the way they had anti leftist energy, we'd have M4A by now lol.

Protest voters did not impact the results
So… Harris lost by some 2.3 million votes. Collectively, third party spoilers netted over 3 million votes.
Now, we add in the just under 90 million people that chose not to vote at all- and assume that at least several million of those people folded their arms and pouted because something they don’t understand is going on in a place they didn’t know existed a bit over year ago because of reasons that even though has been explained to them ad-nauseam, they still refuse to acknowledge because if flies in the face of their edgy manufactured outrage…
… it’s safe to assume protest votes and non-voting was a tremendous lift in helping trump win the White House.

Biden's polling low, the voters want things do be different... huh, better campaign on doing nothing different! What? They're saying we're doing a genocide? Well, better point out that Trump is gonna do a worse genocide!
That'll be a great message, exactly the sort of thing that makes people excited to vote...
"Democrats didn't entertain me enough so I didn't vote."
OP mentions genocide
Response frames it as entertainment

Yeah, because people should vote on excitement and engagement, not truth ... totally doesn't devolve a democratic process into one of reactionary populisms fueled by false promises. If people want to get excited, they should go to a theme park. If they have a shred of civil responsibility, they vote, specially when things were as bad as they were.

At which tax bracket do you get to enjoy life now?
If I remember right, things start to turn around somewhere north of 350k yearly.

Things would have been much worse with Harris though.
Go back to reddit
Go back to xkcd.
If you want anyways I don't think I have the right to tell you what you should or shouldn't do.

Even as someone who didn't vote Harris, this opinion is objectively wrong
