Political Memes

I guess Biden better... Earn more votes.

34 Senate races in 2024. 20 are held by Democrats and 3 are Democratic-caucusing Independents. Eight of those 23 are fairly close--toss-ups even.

Every one of those Democratic senate candidates are going to have to be carrying Biden's water on this one.

Engage with politics at the Congressional and local level. The biggest reason Biden refuses to change his stance because Congress and a majority of his constituency still supports it.

So please continue to protest and engage your congressman and local officials. We can change this but we need action.

The fundamental goal of anybody supporting democracy has to be removing the influence of money from politics. It is at the core of every issue.

The path of getting there is not known, but anything accomplished without that goal in mind is of lesser importance.

Remove money from the political process and all ships will rise.

Voting or not voting without that concern in mind has potentially devastating consequences to your future.

Write your congressman if they are one of the members that forced the weapon shipments to restart.

In this case Joe Biden did not want to restart shipments but was forced by a Congressional resolution.

Here is a Reuters article covering the resolution, here is the house press release, here is the Congressional voting record.

Can we stop being the repost home of r/politicalhumor shitty memes?

Okay making a top level comment after quite a bit of research.

The artist of this cartoon has literally never expressed criticism of the US’s participation in genocide nor apartheid—nor even of the involvement of the military-industrial complex—even once since October 7.

So if this post comes off as excessively patronizing to some, there may be a reason for that, as the tone here is not all that different from the rest of the guy’s work.

That does not mean that there is no valid concern from the artist here. Whatever your plans are for November, a Trump win is going to result in some non-zero excess harm against the vulnerable and the environment over what would be involved in a Biden win in the short run—that much most of us can agree on.

But the comic does this point in such a fucking tone deaf way? like hawt damn.

With how one-sided and not-thought-out-well this comic is, I can't help but come with this point:

Does the lady liberty side not not concerned about the genocide they are supporting? I mean, if you assume the protesters focused against the genocide their own government has a great part in as not caring about anything while they are protesting this one, the most extreme human suffering, issue with a lot of burning passion it deserves and not caring about other things, you have to look at the other side and see they have no cards against this genocide.

Are multi-issue voters okay with funding genocide as long as their own rights are not infringed upon?

Biden can stop the genocide but not only chooses not to at the risk of losing the election, but enables Israel to commit more violence and war crimes.

The issue with Palestine can be solved by Biden today if he wanted to. Call that UN ambassador with some different instructions. Throw out some sanctions conditional on getting aid through and a ceasefire done. The other issues in this comic require courts or congress, generally. Is genocide bad? Yeah. Should we stop it? Nah, not today. Voting for a guy who won't stop what's going on because he doesn't have a problem with it feels bad, no way around that.
