Go ahead, pressure the lesser evil to be even less evil, but you still have to vote for said lesser evil, or you're gonna be stuck with the massively bigger evil and no human rights.
How many people do you think will vote for even a lesser evil? Go ahead and direct your effort into reinforcing that decision to me but unless you convince the millions of other people who don't share your concern for trump we'll all be stuck with the massively bigger evil and no human rights.
Maybe ask yourself the same thing? Who are you trying to convince with this post?
Also why are we wasting our server bandwidth on boring meme templates of a known groomer? Put some effort in, this is an F-tier meme
So, like,
- Still do exactly as the "don't vote" stooges say and let the fascists win
- But now also join them in posting anti-Democratic memes to actively aid the fascists
More like:
- Still do exactly as a democracy demands of you and exercise your political freedom
- but now also use your political freedom to demand your government represent your interests, instead of ignoring them
demand your government represent your interests, instead of ignoring them
Is that what you think will happen? You think Biden is watching memes? Or is it more likely that only normal people will see it because you're not a lobbyist?
Interesting outlook. If you REALLY wanted to change things you'd be posting the phone numbers of congresspeople who voted for aid to Israel. The president doesn't create the aid packages any more than he reads your memes.
The idea that memes 'pressure' people to vote is kinda funny but the idea that memes pressure politicians to be less evil is knee-slapping hilarious.
TIL commercials directed at kids are meant to pressure the kids to drive the themselves to the store and purchase their own lucky charms.
He doesn't realize that US military funding of Israel has been paused many times - including by Biden - as a lever to try to force change. That funding is the leverage we have over Israel. Fully halting it eliminates that leverage, and then what?
Also, the GOP has put forward legislation to remove the ability of the president to pause those deliveries, which also eliminates that leverage in a worse way. Biden has said he would veto that bill, by the way.
I've mentioned this before, as you well know, but it deserves mentioning again here. The fact that you can criticize Biden and there's an outside chance he'll listen makes him the better candidate than the guy who listens to nobody on anything that's not about how to make him more money, with disregard to whether the money-making scheme is legal.
Edit: Let's also not forget that the guy who listens to nobody also uses literal WWII Nazi language at his presidential campaign rallies, kind of all the time - along with an ever-increasing litany of repugnant behaviors, any one of which would have immediately halted any other political campaign in its tracks. But let's not ever criticize that; it's all the Democrats' fault.
I've also said that the people who bark about this, only ever criticising Biden and Democrats, are either foreign propagandists or wholly taken by them. I stand by that statement.

If you're not willing to halt, or even reduce, it, it's not leverage anymore; you're just being a doormat.

If only there was an international body charged with prosecuting international crimes, and if there was such a body, thank God it's Biden in the white house and not Trump, who would surely obstruct bringing justice and pressure to the Isreali leaders conducting the war crimes.
If only it was domestically illegal to send weapons to foreign nations who were found to be using them to commit war crimes, that way at least Israel would know our hands were tied if they keep committing them
If only there was an international coalition of nations that could sanction Israel for committing war crimes. I'm sure if there was we would certainly not obstruct justice being brought there
If only the US had a functional military, so they could use it as a last resort to put an end to a literal fucking genocide.
What a sad reality we live in.

Do you think Trump would relent if I was yelling at him to stop the genocide Biden was supporting?
Do you think republicans would listen to moralistic appeals to stopping genocide?
Are there even any full-throated republicans on lemmy?
This 'why aren't you complaining about republicans?!' bullshit is a transparent deflection of responsibility from the people who are actively involved in the genocide. And I stand by that statement.

I'm just going to leave this link here for you.... Hopefully you'll have the good sense to delete this comment once you see how incredibly wrong you are. Biden is doing - TODAY - the thing you were afraid Trump might possibly do next year.
Biden administration signals it will support push to hit ICC with sanctions
Because the lesser evil isn’t reading Lemmy, but lots of people on Lemmy can vote? If you’re using social media to organize in a way that will have real visibility, then more power to you. But if you think memes on Lemmy are going to influence the White House, I’ve got some bad news for you.
Lots of people on lemmy are also real people with real voices though, right?...
I mean even a non-person bot could propagate memes on other platforms if the owners of those bots were so motivated
I see few better ways to push for change than by agitating a bunch of people out of complicity.
I'm positive that Joe Biden is aware of all your memes 😂
Doing both. The POTUS doesn't read Lemmy and go "haha these fools are gonna vote for me, I don't gotta change shit". To the extent you can influence that office at all, you can do it while simultaneously urging people to vote for the lesser evil.
Single issue voters are low information and suck to talk to. I've seen zero interest in any other topic from the anti Biden crowd.
You dumbasses think memes are affecting Global policy?
As much as shaming people into voting for Biden on lemmy is at affecting voting patterns, probably
So you're saying you're a dumbass on two levels then?
I’m sure he reads them
