    Noooo, you don’t understand. Biden tried really, really hard to not send 21 billion to Israel. Trump wanted to send aid! Big difference, tankie.

    Yes they are both exactly the same. They both started the same number of wars. They both imposed the same amount of tariffs. They both dismantled the institutions in the same way. They both enriched themselves completely equally. They both created the same anti immigrant/lgbtqia/abortion rules. They both fucked over the economy exactly the same.

    The are completely the same. Don’t you see it? Everything you felt got worse under Trump is just your imagination because they are completely the same. So don’t vote at all because they are completely the same. Trust me. Just throw your vote away. Because they are completely the same. It doesn’t matter if the Republicans get another term because they are completely the same. Just give in to your despair and do nothing. Let the others handle it because it doesn’t matter because they are completely the same. Ignore all the date saying otherwise because I made meme that said they are completely the same. And that means they are completely the same.

    And if they are not the same then the democrats are surely not perfect and that makes them worse than the Republicans. Don’t you see it if you make things only a little better it’s much worse than making everything worse because eat least that is consequent.

        Yes exactly. Don’t you see that I am agreeing with you. It would have been bad to even vote.

        Because we both know that both bombed the same number of people to death in Iran including women and children. It’s crystal clear that both have destroyed the same number of boats that were allegedly drug boats. They literally have put the same number of immigrant children in cages. I counted them myself.

        I just want to protect everyone from even considering there could be a worse choice and that they might vote and make things less bad. It’s such a strong message to not vote. We all know that when we don’t vote we get the secret third candidate who is actually the best person in the world and they will end all the suffering and make everything good again. We just have to convince everyone.

    The purpose of this is not to make a comparison between two ill suited politicians (Trump being the far worse), but to erode trust in democratic institutions and to prevent you from even paying attention and voting. Nothing is stopping anyone from electing an independent politician, without red or blue affiliations.

    Making fun of Trump and Biden for being genocidal pieces of shit is cool, but making fun of Biden’s stutter is ableist and that’s not ok.

    You should edit this meme to remove that portion.

      You are right if he was a person, but I don’t pity insects. I hope he gets an heart attack while shitting and dies stuttering asking for help.

        I’m not defending Biden here as I feel the same. I’m saying our critiques of him should not be alienating to marginalized people.

        If your critique is that he’s dumb because he has a stutter, you can apply that to other people with stutters and I don’t think that’s what anyone here wants to do. Biden has distinctly evil qualities in his actions through the years that are better targets than utilizing ableism to critique him.

        This is about showing empathy for the people around you who suffer even more within this shit system than most do, it’s not about showing Biden empathy.

          I’m honestly always a bit unsure about this topic. From one side I don’t want to generalise and being ableist because:

          If your critique is that he’s dumb because he has a stutter

          This is objectively wrong and I totally get it. On the other end, we don’t live in a perfect world and to convey some emotion we need to use words that have a baggage or are imperfect. In any case, my personal meter for judging is always the intention and the context, more than the word itself.

          Do I think every person who shutters is dumb that’s why I used it on Biden? Of course not.

          Do I find hilarious thinking at Biden in a pool of shit having an heart attack and trying to spell “help”? Absolutely yes.

          I would have liked the meme more if on the Trump part there was “shits himself”.

          It’s the contrast the point, putting a man of power who should project this idea of “alfa” man with the reality of normal human disability. It puts them at our level, where we can bully them.
