Image macros are memes and Twitter posts are basically image macros, right?

    It’s at least nice to see all of the vile righties that have harassed trans and other folks and talked endless shit online, eating absolute shit themselves. You can still tell them to cope and seethe like they did to lefties, while still recognizing that this whole thing is fucked and we’d get better results with guillotines and imprisonment.

      we don’t even have to go that far – back in 2017, the mexicans broke a couple of windows and threw a couple of bricks at the police like americans used to do during the civil rights era and it got them president Shienbaum

      I know it sounds crazy, but what if we give voters the freedom to transfer their vote if their first pick didnt win? Then 3rd parties could participate in elections without a spoiler effect.

      Then when multiple political parties take up a unpopular stance, the people can choose something that better represents themselves.

      Conservatives to, they arent all a huge fan of how republicans are behaving. But they wont get a chance to have better options if they are handcuffed to the republican party by First-past-the-post voting.

        We tried that in Australia and all that’s happening is the even more far right fascists are gaining traction.

          Unfortunately that’s the system working as intended, it allows people to show preexisting support for more extreme views without ‘losing’ by not voting for your side of the two nearly center parties

        What? That’s crazy. Something like that would be like ranking your choices while voting! Nothing like that could exist!

        Not when the problem is an entrenched coterie of the worst human creatures any society has ever produced

        Gun culture, constant war, constant propaganda to drive fear between neighbors, built entirely on slavery and violence… a lot of us would like to escape the endless cycle of violent bullshit. It’s just tough when it’s the very foundation this place was built on.

        With that said, it’s nice to see vile people get shut the fuck down. We could use a win for once instead of having to watch absolute losers win all the time. If that requires killing the Nazis all over again, so be it.
