    Can’t fix anything if we use all our resources preventing regression. Snooze implies we go back to sleep for 4 years.

    🟥 go back to sleep (bad dreams)

    🟦 get up (get to work)

    ⬜ sit there (along for the ride)

      This is in the context of voting. Voting blue will achieve nothing other than delaying. The point of the meme is to encourage people to not just vote, but to actively engage in politics in order to make things better. Basically the same thing you said.

        It will achieve nothing other than the first president to walk a picket line, progress on infrastructure and climate change, and a president vocal on womens and LGBT rights

        Nothing. At. All.

        I swear progressives wither dont know how to read or are so high on their own farts they cant smell anything else.

          Both candidates have already been president. Or have the Democrats decided not to have Biden run again?

            And he will still have done the things i said he did.

            I get it. You’re mad the US hasnt achieved fully automated gay space communism.

            However, progress is made in baby steps, not in massive overnight societal change. That always, always, always results in a much, much worse totalitarian situation.

            Which, by the way, you are advocating for.

              Weren’t you the one complaining people don’t know how to read?

              Nobody in this thread is advocating not voting for Biden. The opposite in fact. People are being honest that Biden getting elected is simply treading water, Trump getting elected is sinking.

              Of course you vote to not sink, but don’t expect that to improve things. You then continue to do other things that will actually improve things until the next election.

                But that’s incorrect, were not treading water.

                Biden has made progress that you refuse to acknowledge.

                  Much like how I was advocating for totalitarianism I’m sure…

                  Biden has done a couple things to pay lip service without actually standing up for it (ie forcing rail workers back to work.)

                  He’s also sidestepped congress multiple times to fund and supply genocide, pushed legislation to strip leftist organizations of nonprofit status, and pushed legislation to make ANY criticism of Israel legally antisemitic so any school that allows pro Palestinian protests can have funding and accreditations pulled by the Board of Education. Not to mention in 2016 when the DNC went to court to make it clear they do what they want and the voters can suck their dick.

                  Dem voters are complicit and active in that fascism by never caring about Republicans, and exclusively attacking leftists with all the same fascist tactics they claim to be saving us from.

                  If I hold up a sock puppet while I punch you, I still punched you. Walking a picket line while pushing fascist policies is still fascist.
