They legit think we're voting for Trump.

[–] huf@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

give them a break, they're the chosen ones. the few who will vote for good vibes instead of bad vibes. all other votes are downright evil (anything that isnt good vibes).

you want the vibes to be bad! worse, and even more incomprehensible, you say the vibes are already bad!

think of it in the context of the entire world. democrat voters carry the burden of vibes for all the billions of people on this planet.

By not voting for Harris, you're de facto voting for Trump. At the same time, however, by not voting for Trump, you're de facto voting for Harris

[–] edge@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

By not voting I'm actually casting infinite votes for both candidates.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Infinite votes upon the western world.

[–] COASTER1921@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

I've always thought the reason they say this is due to high voter turnout disproportionately benefitting Democrats. So if you're not voting you contribute to lower turnout which will lean conservative, aka indirectly benefit Trump for the election.

It's incredibly goofy when they say shit like that, they invent an opponent with nonsensical views, then laugh that their imagined opponent has nonsensical views.

Every time.

She is not even officially the nominee yet and has no platform, declaring unquestioning loyalty like that now is literally just supporting a genocide

[–] sovietknuckles@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Her issues page is literally a copy of Biden's issues page, it has a picture of Biden and starts every section with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

Lmao, it still says Joe biden? They couldn't even be bothered to ctrl + f "Biden" and remove any mention of him

Deeply unserious. Like, what is that 🍉 emoji even doing in their name?

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 40 points 1 month ago

At this point I think it's just someone who genuinely likes watermelons and doesn't understand why others are putting it up

I have hangups about people taking what was a creative subversion of repression and turning it into a fashion statement, but it's not my place to whine about it, I feel

[–] milk_thief@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

Maybe it is my place, but it made some palestinians happy, so I shut up about it offline, challenge me if you disagree

I can excuse the wholesale slaughter of a people…

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

...but I draw the line at being crude and crass on social media

[–] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 44 points 1 month ago

Ngl I do appreciate that they've fully taken the mask off in regards to Palestine. They have firmly taken the "Genocide Palestinians" position instead of the usual mealy-mouthed bullshit. They have completely stopped pretending that they don't thirst for blood

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 38 points 1 month ago (1 children)

this is going to be the lowest turnout election of all time

[–] Runcible@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago

I would vote Kamala but not voting Biden is a vote for Trump

[–] FugaziArchivist@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I don't understand where "the discourse" is at right now (since Biden dropped out). I've seen a lot of surprising rehabilitation of Kamala's record. Calling out racism and misogyny from fash republicans is certainly necessary, but at the same time, there seems to be a vibe-shift in thinking that Kamala is not the same neoliberal sellout and Israel apologist as the rest of the party elite. I guess it's the same "push them left" copium from four years ago. Amazing how that never seems to run out for liberals.

[–] PorkrollPosadist@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

People comment on how few public appearences Joe made, but there's a reason they hadn't shoved Kamela in front of the cameras to compensate.

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

History began with the latest news cycle, so nothing is known about Kamala, so I can fill in her stances with something I like.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Mass Deportation overtly applies to both.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Doesn't it apply more to Biden/Harris than it does Trump?

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Arguably Kamala was too zooted to know about it.

[–] muad_dibber@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 month ago

All of them look like they apply equally.

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

Genocide is just standard liberalism. What do you think American and European liberals did in 19th century?

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

This is just 'not voting for Hillary is actually voting for Trump' but updated and illustrated

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The worst takes possible and y'all just seem to go hand in hand.

[–] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You mean using "y'all" in a post online?

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Yes, that. Sorry, my wording was ambiguous there.

[–] Guamer@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

I'm guessing she's a "Not voting/voting 3rd party is a vote for Trump"-er.

[–] alexandra_kollontai@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

I like how they made this in Powerpoint. It has the exact same thought bubble template.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

If this person isn't doorknocking I'm banging on the sign again! posting

half of the voting population does not vote. Get your ass off the computer and start pounding doors!
