OP, per Rule 4, for accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcript in the post body.


Edit: Counting this as a warning for future posts, OP, but since you might not be here to address this, a transcript in a comment as a lesser substitute:

Bushra Shaikh (@Bushra1Shaikh): How TF did Americans vote the clown in, not once but TWICE.

Readers added context

This creator posted on Election Day 2024: "Punish the democrats for their passive response to the genocide in Palestine. If there ever was a party who should have stood firmly against it, we would've assumed the Dems. They proved otherwise. F Kamala Harris. Hope she loses.” [truncated URL to the post here]

...........but no link to the source, or anything actually useful? How did this format post become allowed on a news aggregation site--a platform literally designed for linking to outside sources.

Reddit karma-farming. Imgur was more responsible for the decline of Reddit than any other factor. Screenshots of other social media is somehow a hit

Nothing wrong with voting 3rd party. Blame the people who don't vote/vote for the side you don't like.

[–] freddydunningkruger@lemmy.world 1 points 3 minutes ago

The closest a 3rd party candidate ever got was Teddy Roosevelt, Bull Moose Party in 1912, 27% of the vote, lost to Wilson, 42%. Voting for third party ensures your vote won't count for spit, but something tells me you're a Republican and that's the whole point of your op post.

IMO it doesn't matter if you do a 3rd party protest vote if you're not in a swing state. The system is fundamentally broken by design

There seems to be a ton of finger pointing from liberals (mostly outside of leemy). Trump won on promises to gullible fools on literally making cost of living cheaper (this includes fascist and non fascist talking points)

The dems lost on not conveying their solutions to cost of living well and of course not taking a stand against the faction of war and genocide that many of them are actively working for or with.

A lot of establishment dems are just mad it's not their brand of authoritarianism

Yeah, in glorious free America, there are only ever two choices. Ain't democracy great?

This was all over Lemmy, too, along with all the other social media platforms.

It pretty much disappeared everywhere the instant trump won, as well as the complaints about grocery prices and the lies about gas prices.

The exception was lemmy, prob thanks to hex, grad, and ml, where people still find the time to randomly inject democrat hate.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Liberals pretending like Democrats hate magically disappeared after the election lol

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 6 points 3 hours ago

You'd be surprised, some pos from your instance was my first argument here who was echoing this sentiment. Funny enough,I just saw they randomly unblocked me. Furryosa still thinks you're a bad person tacobuttplug!
