There’s a Pokemon episode where Pikachu tapes its tail into the heart shape to feign being a female Pikachu(was one of the handful of episodes where Ash cd’ed for something). Really just isn’t political, trans pride colors and all.

I am saying this as someone who regularly looks at topics that are either very political or very heated or both and decides that I simply do not have the energy for discourse. Also how much of an asshole do you have to be to throw a fit over what would have likely been a very positive and wholesome thread prior to people trying to tear it down?

Obsession would be going after more quiet public figures.

This is Trump who is constantly in the news for one reason or another. If we’re going to be tormented by having to wake up and see his stupid decisions in the news each day then we might as well just keep memeing.

Hard to say. Her public attitude towards a lot of issues is fantastic but she comes from money. She wouldn’t be able to pursue her personal interests and campaigns without the wealth she has.

Snorted and almost choked on my coffee when I scrolled past this.

The worst part about this is that I’d rather Republicans waste time with pointless legislation such as this rather than something damaging that they could actually enforce.

I mean good but is no one worried about the kid not having any issues with taking someone’s life? Maybe I’m missing out on some extra pieces of info, but it is a bit concerning even if it is an intruder.

In how many universes has Lex been president? I remember as a kid there was one where he won the presidency and had the flash executed. Superman responds by going full authoritarian and executing him in return.

We need our grassroots organizations to collaborate more and we need people to move towards those organizations. That’s how I see it anyways. It’s not going to be easy, a lot of these organizations are slow moving due to their financial burdens and lack of general support, but there’s more urgency now than ever.

Essentially just be a renaissance man. It’s much easier to do when you’re younger. I could’ve ticked off over half the list 10 years ago, but now it’s just reading, cooking and writing. I don’t have the time or energy for much outside of work these days.

We need to regroup. Anyone who cares for the above needs to join the same movement. Put your personal feelings aside and stand together, it’s the only chance we’ve got to stop everything from unraveling.

Focusing on these people was an unhealthy obsession

It still is. What’s done is absolutely done and every time I look at stuff like this on this platform it makes me feel like people are witch hunting. Right now progressives and the general left need solidarity more than ever now.

The people who withed their vote hurt us all but we can’t exactly afford to alienate them.

I know the post election wounds are still fresh but hopefully the finger pointing stops soon. Besides non-voters I’ve seen people blaming minorities, I’ve seen people blaming women and I’m sure there’s many other demographics people have blamed.

Didn’t really think there was that many of them on here. I feel like every time I see memes like this on here it’s just people preaching to the choir.

Leadership is too scared to do so. They’ve basically said that they think we only get one chance at it. We also don’t have a lot of people who want to or can step up for candidacy.

Even if you do organize, you need to do something with the people you’ve gathered together.

I’ve been a part of this small local socialist group for a couple of years now and sometimes I feel like we’ve tried nothing too. We’re the same as everyone else. We have ideas but we don’t really seem to act on them all that much.

Absolutely. It’s a two way street here.

People need to stop turning on each other though. What’s done is done. The left has always been divided but right now we really need to start pulling ourselves together.

I’m sorry we failed you Bernie.

Easy. Anywhere the white cells touch will form a curve if you’re not looking at them directly.

The whales wouldn’t complain about this one anyways. When this mount was available in-game on the auction house it was probably around 5x the price in USD assuming you bought wow tokens.

If you truly care, that’s where you’ll direct that passion.

Here’s a question: are you doing all of that yourself?

It just sounds to me like you’re attempting to say that people shouldn’t care or shouldn’t be frustrated if they’re not willing to spend every waking minute of their lives working towards change. And yes, while change does take time and effort, asking average citizens to go above and beyond doing their civic duty of voting is a bit much.

This genuinely sounds like usual Republican rhetoric of “if you cared so much it wouldn’t be this way.”

I’m aware. I already participate in those.

Doesn’t change the fact that my vote regarding the highest office in the country is a pointless effort.

If only I lived in a swing state. Then my vote could have meaning and I could get paid for it.

Must be great to live in one of the seven states that’s allowed to decide our election thanks to the electoral college.
