Remember when we thought he was hosed and were laughing about how he totally wasted this moment?

[-] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 141 points 2 days ago

The thing is, he DID waste it.

And then Kamala hired Hillary's campaign advisers, got rid of her 2 most popular slogans (We're not going back + They are weird) and started hugging Dick Cheney's right-wing daughter. Kamala's campaign is somehow more embarrassing and incompetent than Hillary's, and that's saying something.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 78 points 2 days ago

hired Hillary's campaign advisers

Lol Lmao

I choose to believe that itโ€™s the happy birthday tweet that did her in

[-] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 84 points 2 days ago

Nah, objectively and logically it was when she said who-must-go must go.

I'm going to put the Assad meme on a material analysis, because I do think it has predictive power.

There are only two types of people in the West that know about Assad. Those two are (a) Leftists, and (b) fedposting So if you are bringing up Assad in a general conversation, those are by and large the only people who would care. That begs the question whenever Assad is brought up by a politician: "Who is your audience?" For politicians the audience is overwhelmingly for Government and their corporations. That means politicians are ignoring domestic issues like (for example...) 40MM Americans are in poverty or school shootings or that all basic goods shot up 20%+ in price in a few years. Those are hardly the only issues, but you must put all of them on the backburner to care about some leader in the Middle-East. Thus the meme, and the attention on Assad in general, is an excellent display of disconnect from actual living breathing people. As such, Assad-obsessed politicians generally lose to other politicians that focus more on their electorate.

tl;dr: who-must-go is code for politicians ignoring domestic issues with the inevitable consequences assad-must-stay

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 29 points 2 days ago

He wasted it, but he was playing against the Washington Generals in this election cycle.

I love how this meme has become a posting tradition every US election since the Chapo subreddit days.

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 71 points 2 days ago

I'm on r/politics so I can enjoy some classic reddit-logo posts

[-] Coca_Cola_but_Commie@hexbear.net 33 points 2 days ago

Oh, wow, I haven't visited r/politics in so many years. This is something else. A real blast of nostalgia.

Seeing these awful, smug people so lost and confused and angry almost makes me feel good. They have no idea what's going on.

Libs got so cocky that they voted no to eliminating slavery in California.

Don't believe me? Look up prop 6, it wasn't even a close vote. America deserves Trump.

[-] asa_red_heathen@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

A proposition that had literally no argument against it on the ballot. Every other prop got a for and against argument but no one bothered arguing against making slavery illegal and kkkalifornians still voted to keep it.

I'm fully expecting that people will get more angry on DEI/"ugly" characters and other bullshit cultural war than actually even attempt at becoming politically aware. pain

[-] real@hexbear.net 36 points 2 days ago

Can someone please explain it to me?

[-] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 87 points 2 days ago

You see, the chapotraphouse subreddit was big supporters of Bernie Sanders so when he lost the Dem election in 2019 there was chaos there mostly coping and the most upvoted Post in that time became a Picture of Lenin saying "and were did that bring you? Back to me" and the MLs started talking about the failures of electoralism in liberal democracy and radicalising the bernie people

It was a fun time

Lenin was the man who pushed for the socialists in Russia to rise up in active revolution when nearly all other socialist leaders wanted to collaborate with the bourgeois government. He single-handedly made sure the October Revolution was launched an the USSR was created. He also spent lots of years arguing against other socialists who thought working inside electoral systems was the "right" way to bring about progressive changes.
