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

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

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

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 21 points 6 hours ago

This was the easiest election to win for both parties, yet they kept fumbling

[–] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 136 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

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 77 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

hired Hillary's campaign advisers

Lol Lmao

I choose to believe that it’s the happy birthday tweet that did her in

[–] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 80 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 27 points 8 hours ago

She really tried to get all the jinx's

The more I see this happening the more I believe it

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

Alright I’m not gonna lie that’s funny as fuck lmao

[–] SSJ3Marx@hexbear.net 39 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

It's like The League of Shadows from Batman is working to sabotage everyone who says it.

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

[–] Coca_Cola_but_Commie@hexbear.net 26 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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.

That is the only reason I reopened the sub. This was the first time for me in 8 years
