    I'm sure that's a real consolation to all the children in Gaza with missing limbs and murdered parents. Fuck off.

      It's a US problem, not specifically with Democrats. But the meme was meant to disenfranchise voters trying to equate the two parties. On some issues, Israel/Gaza, I'd tend to say that they are both horribly on the wrong side of history. But on other issues Democrats are on the correct side. Only when we get ranked choice voting will we have the ability to have a different voice of reason.

        Wow I'm so convinced, I guess I'll vote for the genocidal party that gives lip service to domestic social issues only when it's convenient for them to drum up donations! It's so clear now, why couldn't I see this before??? I guess the Gazans will just have to wait!!! PIGPOOPBALLS You're a fool if you think the ruling class will allow ranked choice voting to be implemented, and even if it were it wouldn't fix anything. Death to America.

          Rank choice voting is already in place in some local elections. It needs to spread further for it to be effective, but it's going to be the only way to make real change happen. Your last comment is what gets people into very stupid situations and takes the lives of innocents that you claim to protect.

            Yeah, local elections that don't fucking matter. It will never happen at the federal level. You're an absolute fool. The ruling class will never give up the reigns of power.

            No, that would be voting for the party actively committing a genocide and calling it "lesser evil". Eat shit and die, please.

              There's a phrase that all elections are local. So yes, local elections matter. Republicans recently focused a lot of effort on this and that's why we have a ton of state laws restricting abortion access. Both federal and state matter. Thanks for the comment Trumper.

            This article doesn’t contradict what I said so I don’t really understand why you linked it? I didn’t say memes have no social impact. I said that voters cannot be disenfranchised by a meme.

            Anyways, I don’t really care to keep arguing about this tangent with you, so feel free to reply with whatever inane drivel first comes to mind so you can go back to defending the people committing genocide.
