Apparently putting a huge number of people in jail for minor possession of a drug that is only illegal because of racist 70s politics is spotless, and doing so to support capitalizing the prison system, is spotless. I call it dehumanizing and unconstitutional, but I just care about empirical data that apparently is completely unimportant in tribalist capitalist worshiping countries like the USA.

A perfectly good meme but I would say it might still presume a little too much good faith.

They're not undecided. They want to vote for Trump and are desperately hoping for a socially acceptable reason to do so.

You not only need to vote for the candidate of their choice, you also need to match whatever they pick. Yey! Democracy!

Enter to win!

Prices included: " new president!"

Rules:

-Pick whoever you want

-If the electoral college picks the person you picked, then congratulations! You picked the winner ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ†!

-if the electoral college picks someone else, then congratulations! You got a different president than the one you picked because your vote is worthless!

Yey! Democracy!

But do go vote, this is just a sarcastic comment about the stupid way we pick...the electoral college picks presidents for us like kings. The rest of the ballot is full of things that you do actually vote for, like local representatives, education leaders, district judges etc. Only the presidential election is not actually your thing. The rest of it is probably more important anyway so who cares if the electoral college picks Mexico's president to be our president. They could pick Kim Jung Un, but our president is usually a lame duck anyway the entire time due to the Republican party cock blocking their every move....like your student loans! Remember those? The fucking republican party block all attempts so far. But again, don't worry about it, it's not our thing. Let's let the electoral college to worry about it.

The rest of the ballot is full of things [...] like local representatives, education leaders, district judges etc.

Maybe OT, but I've been watching a lot of voting advice on twitter, reddit, etc this year, and whenever someone mentions how important it is to get educated about your local options on the ballot, they get a flood of comments accusing them of encouraging people to abstain from voting or to vote 3rd party. It appears to be one limb of an aggressive anti-vote apathy or disinfo campaign.

I'm sure pretending the blue candidate isn't complicit in genocide is a great strategy to convincing more voters.

Unfortunately we are in the same position with both candidates. You can't be President of the US and have clean hands

[-] TrueTomBombadil@lemmy.world 3 points 38 minutes ago

True but the meme claims "spotless record" which is not true

[-] YoFrodo@lemmy.world 2 points 28 minutes ago

I guess when both candidates have "Genocide Participant" credits it no longer matters to compared that specific item.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 0 points 22 minutes ago

Say that back to yourself out loud, and see if it still sounds right.

What for? There are absolutely no real options to avoid the Israel/Palestine conflict. So as an adult who understands that there are some things I can and cannot influence I move on to those I can influence.

One candidate is leagues above the other.

Anyone who says "well your candidate will be bad for Israel/Palestine" is being disingenuous because both will suck. Thats bait and a distraction.

Going 3rd party or abstaining from voting are both stupid approaches.
