PS.
I would for vote Kamala. I would vote for a cactus with sunglasses if it had the Democratic nomination. You would do yourself well to consider anything that is weaking the resolve of the anti-trump sentiment straight poison to your brain. We have only one job this novemeber and that is to stop trump. The Supreme Court has given him the status of king. Quit acting like your vote is sacred and start realizing your vote is your final cry before your rights are forfeited.
No no no, people were shutting down anti-joe sentiment since the 2020 election. It’s not blue MAGA it’s corporate control. Reddit was being commercialized and anything left of Joe was bad for business. Lemmy is a silo so when people transitioned after the mod strike they were finally allowed to say the fucking truth. Unfortunately the tankies and right wing ideologues got here first because they were driven from reddit long before the leftists.
Most people were fine with the fact we had to throw down for joe again but because of obvious discourse bad actors have been amplifying in-fighting just about the time when there was nothing left anyone could do. They did the same thing with Bernie in 2016 and guess what, it’s working again.
This whole sub is a testament to it. April, May, June, none of my memes would have gotten traction.
I think this (if a bit dated) macro highlights the definition fairly well:
The know your meme article is worth a read. We’re both wrong on dates. It was coined in 2017. Obviously its usage has transformed several times, and I think my defintiion is probably the most accurate current working definition, specifically for the period from post WI/ MI/ MN primaries to now. Its the definition Jon Stewart used recently.
Another example is MSNBC host Joy Reid saying she would vote for Joe Biden if he was in a coma. Or Whoopi saying she would vote for Joe Biden even if he was shitting his pants on stage.
And this is the whole rhetorical point. It doesn’t matter that these Blue MAGA have incredibly low standards or are only interested this one guy. Saying you want insist on running the comatose pants shitter is not convincing to others and its losing Democrats the elections, entirely. Hence the actual panic in the Democratic party at this point, because Joe Biden’s down ballot impacts are that you give team red a super majority in BOTH the house and the senate.
If you actually care about winning the election, its not about you being convinced of something; its about what is going take to convince a majority of people other than you of something.
See. This is just not TRUE. Its not supported by the data. Look at the previous 450 days of polling. Look at the write in campaigns when the DNC shut-down anything resembling a real primary. You have to come to terms with the actual material fact that no, most Democrats right now do not want Joe Biden as candidate. This intentional ignoring of the facts is what qualifies as Blue MAGA behaviror.
Polling data is notoriously shit. Joe won the primaries in 2020 and a better candidate has not emerged since. 2020 showed us that both candidates were not popular. Ever.
In fact, Joe gets less credit then he deserves because he has done phenomenal for being a fucking useless dinosaur.
Blue MAGA is thought terminating terminology and I will never submit to your fucking bullshit. I didn’t when you were screaming “alt-left” and I won’t wen you start saying blue-fash. You want the fucking “both sides” argument so hard and it’s absolute shit.
Edit:
Also love the fact that “only political DNC insiders votes should count” is in your meme and that’s exactly what you want to happen at the convention.
If you’ve lost your connection to reality, and it seems like you have, I don’t know what other term to use for you. And its accurate in the sense that Red MAGA and now, you, with Blue MAGA, are in a cult that has completely detached its self from reality. The only thing guiding your rhetoric is your fear and your feelings. You have nothing to back up your argument for supporting Biden. When confronted with reality, you dismiss it.
Its sad to see whats happened to supposed “leftists”.
You are a walking definition of Blue MAGA.
You’ve lost touch with reality. You think you’re some sort of ‘online freedom fighter’ that will change political discourse using the most advance meme technology. You’re some schmuck on a smartphone and the government will bring you to your knees before the revolution even has a chance to begin. You’re either losing at a rigged game till you die or winning some sort of lottery. The meme revolution is a fantasy.
You are the one rejecting evidence of polling, not me.
Oh, the polling again. Ok… right… polling is infallible now.
Omg 2016, every week, listening in to 548. “Well we did this with the model and if we pull this lever and we switch these numbers… 2.5 to a 1.7… Rutgers… margin of error… tune in 45 mins before the election and I’ll run the model one more time.”
Nate Silver is the master of edging over poll numbers. You’d like him
Its you being in denial of reality. I know you dont see it. People deeply in the wrong almost never see it. But you need to be told.
Denial of what?
If it’s rigged against me why waste my money on it?
Don’t?
Oh, you think I don’t realize voter turnout is abysmal? No. Be a statistic w/e.
Also, the correct answer is “Because it’s the only game in town.”
You are all over the place here.
What the fuck I’m just putting out memes. Sorry, are looking for my advice all the sudden?
Are you appalled that after everything there are people who still support drumpf no matter what?
If so, can you not see the parallel in reacting to any valid criticism of Biden’s chances with things like “iD vOtE fOr a LiTeRaL tUrd u LoVe TrUmP tAnKiE”?
I genuinely thought Biden might die on stage during the debate. His follow ups have been arrogant, out of touch, and full of senior moments. We need someone capable of fighting billionaire funded christofascism, not an 81 year old invalid who’s been championing the status quo for decades.
I plan to vote for Biden, but the odds ain’t great. Feel free to ignore the facts and call me a russian plant if it helps you sleep at night.
This is both sides bullshit. Moving on.
