Please tell me this is ironic
It’s not
Or, now here me out, Dems could run a platform people want to vote for?
That’s the joke. The vote blue no matter who enables fascists, so saying it’s what they fear is funny.
But then how would the billionaire keep their money?
No its, vote blue no matter who* only applicable if the said blue candidate is not progressive
and the whole fucking time we are voting in primaries, it’s all “progressive candidates can’t win the election” and astroturfed lies and slander using democratic funds to hurt itself in its own confusion. want my vote? field candidates that i would vote for.
and no kings is performative at best
want my vote? field candidates that i would vote for.
I hope you still go to the polls and write-in if you don’t like either candidate.
i voted harris for president, but at this point i am so disgusted with how the democrats are acting that i will vote third party if needed.
Technically, this could move in the opposite direction.
It just never does, for some reason.
It’s almost like political hierarchies run by the Epstein class and centrists prefer conservatism over progress.
Gang, this isn’t complicated. You fight the Democratic establishment 364 days a year. On election day you pick the lesser evil, which hopefully all that fighting you did made much less evil. We have an archaic election system, and until that changes (work to change it), that’s the best path forward.
As an non-american, how this is not crystal clear even for the most hardcore communists is an absolute mystery to me.
Fellas please, an election is not the time and place to make your voice heard.
In other words, voting isn’t enough: it’s merely the first step. After “your guys” are in power, you should bully them into keeping their promises and doing more
Get called a trumper 364 days a year by people who love how much like trump the democratic establishment is constantly trying to become.
Work to change it, how?
By illegally taking away capital from the people illegally fighting back against that change?
You’re not in a democracy, stop solving your problems democratically
By backing AOC and other progressives.
How is the United States not a democracy?
Your vote doesn’t fucking matter, that’s how
Is that why Trump won?
It’s a gradient. Did you get to decide who you’re allowed to vote for? Do they represent your actual interests? Do you have a say over what happens in your city or your workplace?
Stuff like that
Congress very much decides what happens in cities and workplaces afaik
(1)In a democracy the people elect a representative of their ideology to govern them in fair elections
(2)Both parties in the US in the 21st century start wars on foreign countries, lie about policies, submit to corrupt lobbying
(3)Both parties in the US are not representative of the people of the US
(4)The US is not a democracy
Which of these is wrong?
(4) because both parties are elected to power by voters
The electoral college.
Well, most electors are honest about which President they vote for
It’s so obvious the person who made this is on the left side of this picture.
Only a lib could give the girl on the right both an anarchy patch and a bernie 2020 hat.
I believe in the liberatory power of what would probably be termed anarcho-syndicalism and I would have voted for Bernie. I own a sweater with his name on it.
It’s so obvious the person who made this is on the left side of this picture.
Anyone who says “blue no matter who” is on the left side of this picture. And on the right politically.
I’ve started saying “Vote blue no matter who” to dems that think progressives can’t win.
I’m a socialist and I support the Democratic party
I’m a starving, homeless, gay, trans woman, and I support the republican party.
No you’re not
You would know
Why? They hate you.
Not as much as Republicans would hate me
They certainly hide it better.
I don’t think Democrats support cuts to welfare spending.
I care about my constituents, even though they’re filthy unhoused vape addicted lazy Bernie bros. Fist bump!
at GITMO they refuse to show this pic to inmates because it’s considered torture.
Good job OP, you earned your label.
I hate this so much
Fascists are not scared of being voted out lmao.
With patience, you when. If your stance is unchanging, and you just chip away, taking every little bit of power as you can, constantly angling for a best strategic position, you will win.
Fascist will always have a chance, they’re not scared of being out voted. They’re scared of the working class digging their asses out of their heads and realizing what’s up.
That being said, absolutely still vote.
More dem slop, they still don’t understand why they can’t win elections. I’d point it out for them, but they’d just scream ‘blue no matter who’ instead of listening.
Aha! You clearly love Trump!
nope. when blue also supports genocide, blue is clearly part of the problem.
Ok who you gonna vote for?
Will you still vote?
yep. for the person who fits my goals. never red. blue when they don’t support genocide.
Good
If the candidate is a progressive, will you?
I will vote no matter what. Not necessarily for people listed on the ballot.
Thank you for admitting that “vote blue no matter who” means “vote only for centrists.”
No? A lot of Democrats are left leaning. It also means voting for centrists sometimes.
Please read this thread: https://lemmy.today/comment/24627049
It also means voting for centrists sometimes.
It only ever means “vote for the genocidal centrist.” It becomes “party unity my ass” again when centrists don’t get their very first choice.
This is a shit meme in many ways?
I’mma vote for the lesser of two evils. What I won’t do is fist bump a republican liteᵗᵐ like they didn’t torpedo every fucking progressive they could. I remember south carolina, biden was dead in the water and suddenly “centrists consolidated” and he was a fucking front runner.
It benefits the security state for a Dem to take the helm and lull the masses back to sleep with sweet words while continuing 99% of Trump’s policies
When we can rely on centrists to vote blue even when the primary winner is one of the progressives they hate almost as much as they hate the idea of a living Palestinian, then they can tell us to vote blue no matter who, and not one fucking second before.
We saw the disgusting racist attacks the centrist wing made against Mamdani. Centrists haven’t changed one bit since they formed a PAC to get McCain elected because they didn’t want a Black man to be their nominee. Centrists are “vote blue no matter who” only until they don’t get 100% of everything they want, then they revert back to “party unity my ass” and campaign for shit like Cuomo.
The message here is the same as always from centrists: Shut up and fall in line because we hate you and always will.
