Remember when we thought he was hosed and were laughing about how he totally wasted this moment?
The thing is, he DID waste it.
And then Kamala hired Hillary's campaign advisers, got rid of her 2 most popular slogans (We're not going back + They are weird) and started hugging Dick Cheney's right-wing daughter. Kamala's campaign is somehow more embarrassing and incompetent than Hillary's, and that's saying something.
It's like The League of Shadows from Batman is working to sabotage everyone who says it.
He wasted it, but he was playing against the Washington Generals in this election cycle.
not hard to imagine at this point
honestly seems like the most basic fucking sense, what is wrong with people
seems like a good time to tell you that you're one of my favorite posters, and this is a perfectly exemplary post 🎉🎉🎉🎉
hilarious and perfect, which is exactly what I've come to expect from you ❤️
Oh, wow, I haven't visited r/politics in so many years. This is something else. A real blast of nostalgia.
Seeing these awful, smug people so lost and confused and angry almost makes me feel good. They have no idea what's going on.
That is the only reason I reopened the sub. This was the first time for me in 8 years
You see, the chapotraphouse subreddit was big supporters of Bernie Sanders so when he lost the Dem election in 2019 there was chaos there mostly coping and the most upvoted Post in that time became a Picture of Lenin saying "and were did that bring you? Back to me" and the MLs started talking about the failures of electoralism in liberal democracy and radicalising the bernie people
It was a fun time
I knew I first saw the meme there but is that actually its origin too?
Technically the quote "And where did that bring you? Back to me." is a line Thanos says in Avenger's Endgame. It became a larger meme that then birthed the chapo bit and you know the rest.
FUCK yes thank you I knew there was something else to it, I've seen exactly zero MCU shit since Iron Man so I forgot about that
Also Lenin kinda looks like Thanos in this picture. There's a similar shot of Thanos, I think it's actually the shot where he says that line.
Yep, in the 2019 bernie lost, sometime people reposted it but with bernie was the first time
Lenin was the man who pushed for the socialists in Russia to rise up in active revolution when nearly all other socialist leaders wanted to collaborate with the bourgeois government. He single-handedly made sure the October Revolution was launched an the USSR was created. He also spent lots of years arguing against other socialists who thought working inside electoral systems was the "right" way to bring about progressive changes.
I don't know how it's possible that both Lenin and Schwarzenegger remind me of my dad, but here I am I guess.
must go.
