And no, I'm not saying don't vote; I'm saying that there comes a point when voting isn't going to solve the problem

~~A) You think this post is specifically about US politics?~~
~~B) Where the fuck did I say anything of the sort you strawmanning cabbage?~~
Edit: the cabbage turned out to be me
A) Most everyone is going to interpret this in the context of U.S. politics given that we're a superpower on the brink of fascist accelerationism pending the results of an election 120 days away. You bring up Finland and Russia elsewhere in the thread, but Finnish elections already happened last month and I really don't hear anyone else talking about Russia's upcoming gubernatorial and parliamentary elections coming up in September right now.
B) I was being tongue-in-cheek about the fact that the only party that could logically "refuse to step down" is the incumbent, which in the context of U.S. politics would be Biden. It was a joke, don't be a baby.
Tl;Dr: OP is a troll who posts vague memes and then scolds anyone who attempts to interpret or joke about them.
Fun will be had within the fun zone and will have all required fun criteria.
Dissent or failure to have fun will be punished.
Honestly I didn't even realize you were joking because it's really hard to tell jokes like that apart from actual idiotic arguments. I've been pretty pissed the whole day because reasons so I just assumed the worst and got annoyed.
Edit: Also, for me the feeling of this meme is more inspired by the recent EU Parliament election and the ongoing French election, although our local extremist right-wing government doesn't help. We have eg. a literal pedophile neo-Nazi as a minister, our Speaker of the Parliament – who is one of the mass murderer Breivik's idols by the way – has fantasized about murdering a gay man on his blog, etc. etc. and they're now ignoring the constitution and international treaties when passing an anti-immigration law, and I wouldn't put doing an Orbán past this bunch.
This is a meme community
I ain't reading all that.
And as we all know, there's absolutely no people with stupid opinions in political meme communities
That is sad to hear, and fwiw I absolutely was trying to figure this take into the US election situation and not succeeding . . Thank you for explaining.
