MODERATORS
Anyone still claiming to be an undecided voter in 2024 is quite frankly full of shit
It has always been a myth. Humans are inherently political.

Anyone claiming that the Democrats goals are to ensure everyone's needs are met is full of shit.
The meme says "leftists" not democrats. Democrats are rarely leftists, and usually centrists/right wing.
I was not responding to the meme.
ok, so you're undecided between trump/republicans and harris/democrats?
why?
Are Democrats committed to ensuring everyone's needs are met?
If not, discussion here is irrelevant.
If you're not responding to the meme, then why is your discussion on whether "everyone's needs are met"? OP you responded to was only talking about undecided voters.
How are undecided voters going to make a decision to support the party where "everyone's needs are met" if there is no option to do so.
Because he's a fucking Russian plant and the only memes he's paid to talk about are "Democrats bad".
the discussion has moved on to see if you're actually on the left, or are trying to discourage people on the left from voting, or are just a straight up accelerationist/fascist/glowie
The discussion seems to be based on the false assumption that Democrats are left wing and they want to ensure that everyone's needs are met.
are YOU left wing?
I don't see how my political opinion is relevant to a discussion about this meme and the Democrats.
so you're a russian plant. great. see you later.
Ah. So you are an amateur communist hunter. Good luck with that.
At this point Dems are moderate right wings and the Republicans are far right. We don't really have a "far left" party.
So why does the above post refer to undecided voters?
Because majority of left people vote dem and right vote for rep and centrist are undecided. This doesn’t mean left = dem, it just means dems are the best option right now for the left.
OK, so the dems are committed to ensuring everyone's needs are met. Yes?
No one in this comment chain said that, they said they were the best option.
It's in the picture right at the start.
Why mention the Democrats if they aren't relevant to the meme being discussed?
My comment was there is no far left, you abandoned that discussion and just jumped to a part of the meme.
Exactly. Yet people in this thread are acting as if the Democrats are promising that "everyone's needs are met".
Some people sure, but I never said that and no one else did in this comment chain. Are you asking me to defend what other people are saying?
This is where I came in
