dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

This article ("threads") from yesterday introduces another character to the developing situation

https://hexbear.net/post/8970221

Daniel Moraff is the political consultant who "discovered" and pushed Platner hard to the forefront. Which begs the question, HIM? Why..?

It could well be that they vetted him, and found out about all his past, and let him run to discredit progressive candidates as a whole.

The democrats are paid losers so tbh this being intentional rather than a fuck up tracks

And we've already seen they'd rather throw an election than let a "progressive" win. Not that Platner is an exemplary progressive, but that's why he's the perfect spoiler candidate. Now Democrat wonks can point to this and say "see? Progressive candidates don't work!"
