  1. ๐‘ด๐’†๐’Ž๐’†๐’” must make an effort at humor

Webster's Dictionary defines "meme" an image or video that's been creatively edited for laffs. Unedited screencaps of text tweets, Onion articles, or political cartoons are not memes. Exceptions made for occasional [CONTEXT] posts: unedited newsworthy media that can act as fodder for new memes.

  1. Memes must ๐’Ž๐’‚๐’Œ๐’† ๐’‚๐’ ๐’†๐’‡๐’‡๐’๐’“๐’• at humor

Memes should be decent-looking, clever, and show some creativity (including the title). No sloppy editing. No watermarks. No reposts.

  1. Memes must make an effort at ๐’‰๐’–๐’Ž๐’๐’“

Memes should be funny first and foremost. Not angry, preachy, or insulting. No unironic #hashtags. If your meme is mainly promoting or advocating or WAKING PEOPLE UP, ur doing it rong. NSFW content is fine, but no uncensored porn/violence.

  1. No personal attacks

It's politics -- folks are gonna argue! Just do it respectfully. Hostility and vulgar insults are subject to removal with a warning, while repeat offenders may be banned. Memes should not target individual users. No racism/misogyny/*phobia/other bigotry. For harassing PMs, block the user or report serious threats.

  1. No brigading or disinformation

Do not link to specific posts or users directing others to vote. Do not link to stuff here from elsewhere doing so, either. If you suspect brigading, report evidence to the mods. Unsubstantiated claims cannot be acted on. Activity on other communities is not brigading. Disagreeing with you is not brigading. Accusations in the comments are subject to removal. Blatantly misleading posts will be tagged and debunking info stickied if provided.

  1. Submissions must relate to a presidential election

This can be any election from throughout U.S. history. It cannot be a gubernatorial, senatorial, or other election unless that election involved a future president and is presented in context of their presidency or their election. The 2024 election is ramping up, but we encourage users to branch out.

It was a lackluster interview. No sheโ€™s definitely nowhere as near to the bad that trump is. No weird shit. No ego shit. No I hate abortion and am glad I got it banned and I love abortion and will defend it, in the same damn breath, but not great like their honeymoon period.

Normal, disappointing political sideways speak, vapid, including repetition on whatโ€™s already been said which always makes the bullshit sensors tingle due to the utter avoidance factor involved. On fucking repeat.

Dead moderate, definite overlap with pre-Trump Republican stuff.

Like no fracking ban. Specified in the interview. Granted, she needs all of Pennsylvania to win this, and itโ€™s a fracking industry state. (I know, not a topic people have had room for in their brains lately but there it is popping up once again.)

Israel. The they should be able to defend themselves but we need to establish a ceasefire stance. Bernie talks about it better, in a Hassan Minaj interview. (Essentially, B says the current govt is heavily influenced by its own far right faction which is pushing for genocide). K repeats over and over that they can continue to defend themselves with our support but we need to establish a ceasefire, which isnโ€™t elaborated on further. (We are steeped in colonialism over here, as was recently pointed out, so is it any surprise we are here now with Israelโ€™s colonialism? Would any of us be all that surprised if thereโ€™s suddenly Palestinian reservations over there as the โ€œtwo stateโ€ solution? But I digress.)

Walz sidestepped his drunk driving charge and shook his head over splitting hairs on which fertility treatment was received. And repeated the bit on how heโ€™d never question another manโ€™s military service. But it was mostly Harris talking.

Essentially, it was like a bullet list of all the things people were questioning on the Harris Walz campaign, in a bullet list format by the interviewer. Like homework almost, homework grudgingly completed at a C+ level.

Still voting for them, but itโ€™s not great. Itโ€™s a gender war, this election, so for my own future and that of my spawn I have to vote Harris.

Why does she support gEnoCiDe tho?

[โ€“] Strykker@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago

Because the other guy supports hyper genocide.
