Why are we wasting our server bandwidth on shit takes?

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.

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.

So, like,

1. Still do exactly as the "don't vote" stooges say and let the fascists win
2. But now also join them in posting anti-Democratic memes to actively aid the fascists

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.

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.

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.

I'm positive that Joe Biden is aware of all your memes 😂

You dumbasses think memes are affecting Global policy?

You think politicians use lemmy?

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.

I’m sure he reads them
