this meme is true, but in a different way than intended:
it says, that you always should vote the lesser evil, since else the lesser evil will become more and more evil
Not what it says at all, but not surprised that’s how libs who have been doing this would interpret it. How’s that been working out for you by the way?
not a lib, just think that we should always vote the lesser evil, even if it isn’t good. also the time isn’t ripe for a revolution yet, and, no offense, even if it was, what have you been doing to change society?
Nobody was talking about time being ripe for any revolution. The point of the meme is that voting is a very limited form of political participation that can’t solve underlying problems on its own. How has the strategy of voting for lesser evil been working out for you.
compared to voting more extreme parties not bad actually, the last time I voted the communist party it didn’t even get into parliment and I don’t think it will next time
They competed against Trump in 2020 and ran a more progressive campaign, and won. They competed against Trump in 2024 and ran a genocidal campaign that paraded around warmongers like Liz Cheney, and lost even the popular vote.
Obama is the premier example of a warmongering neoliberal that could perfectly orate for progressive voters despite his actual policy, both domestic and foreign.

Stop voting for people, FFS. Vote for policies, then hire people to implement those and nothing else.

or are we talking about voting in generall?
We’re talking about voting being seen as a primary way for the working masses to engage politically.
No, the “lesser evil” won many times and still went far right.
winning isn’t just winning an election, also, do you think the dems would have gotten more right wing, if the polls said something like 60% for them?
The Dems won many elections and still moved right. And yes, the Dems would get more right wing if they could get away with it.
I think they moved right, because they couldn’t compete against trump, obama for example was a pretty good start if you ask me
