Gives me an idea for a new meme to cover the other half:

"Leftists who won’t vote" 🤝 “Democrats” agree on being “apathetic”.

Yet voting 3rd party sends a signal that many are upset instead of apathetically staying at home. Silent consent is the very thing you accuse Democrats of in a sister thread.

Even when liberals are shown protests on TV, they often walk away with the wrong message. It seems the only time it doesn't happen is when the state uses violence in a way that is indefensible.

Gather around for a personal story.

The year was 2015 and a friend who lives in a school bus visited town. We were all smoking weed in his bus and he said "Oh please let Clinton loose". I asked WTF are you thinking? And he responded that he spent lots of time protesting and that it didn't work because people weren't listening. It seems no matter how many terrible fascists get elected, liberals still won't listen to him.

I hate how the Bible is being used as a nationalist prop. Nationalism was a theme of the old testament and Jesus called his followers to move beyond national identity. But that's how fascism works, it apropariates instead of actually creating something new.

If you aren't familiar with Project 2025 there's a good video deep dive here: https://youtu.be/dk7sCJalxAo

MAGA wants revenge and it isn't limited to just liberals.

In my household Jesus is nonbinary and their resurrection was the first day of their new life after transitioning.

I'm selective when it comes to burglary and unfortunately I have yet to meet the cat of a billionaire.

Except that the voting uncommitted has actually worked to move Biden on the issue (Dems calling for an election in Israel).

More than one thing can be true: the government should build public housing and landlords stand in the way of that because government action would undermine their "investment value".

Black and blue because I live in a capitalist wasteland and need the competitive edge. Water is my favorite drink and I already talk with cats so I'm not sure what my 3rd pick should be.
