For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the Master of Mankind by the will of the gods and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium, for whom a thousand souls die every day, for whom blood is drunk and flesh eaten. Human blood and human flesh – the stuff of which the Imperium is made.
But Slightly More Rotting Corpse has the better environmental policy which we'll need before the last remnant of Florida is fully swallowed by the sea in the next 4 years.
Remember the good old days when we got to choose between a giant douche and a turd sandwich?
why does it say 2056 when this is already happening in 2024
Obnoxious, lying, seditious, narcissistic, rotting corpse vs. tired, confused, rotting corpse.
You forgot felon and rapist for the first one
Ah, so I did. Not sure how I managed that, considering how relevant those points should be here.
Biden should be the last time the Democrats put forward a senile old man as their presidential nominee. Even if he wins this election, there will be another one to fight in 4 years time and the fash might not lose again.
It should be the last time they put a candidate that nobody wants. Remember 2016? They don’t.
That's not totally true, it's just who the ownership class wants. They're the only real people anyway, we're all just labor.
Old people primary voting: See if you can stop me choosing the next old man from your house! Ha!
Da, comrade.
You discriminating against the dead? Lifeism enabler!
MY rotting corpse just has some stiff joints, that's all.
Your CIS corpse does not conform to my reanimation identity.
I'm concerned about the less rotted corpse employing living humans. Sounds like nepotism to me.
Don't you dare go hollow
Don't give up skeleton!
Glad to see things will improve in the US!
Lemmitors: You don't understand! I'm not voting for Slightly More Rotting Corpse, I'm voting for the Slightly More Rotting Corpse administration. Yes it's true that both of them support nuclear warfare along the Mexican border, but Rotting Corpse would be dropping more nukes with higher frequency on the climate refugees so we have to vote for the lesser evil.
What would be the alternative
Shoot them
We're allowed to kill Abe Lincoln and JFK, why aren't we allowed to kill these guys? Why does Reagan get plot armor out of all the presidents? Who wrote this shit?
To be fair JFK getting shot was pretty epic though. He almost caused nuclear holocaust (although a more rabidly anti-communist president may have definitely caused nuclear holocaust), war crimed the South Vietnamese a ton, and stabilized Israel. RFK getting assassinated was less epic because that gave us Nixon
As I've said elsewhere, to fix it from within the system itself you would need a bloc of people willing to punish one of the parties for moving right by withholding their votes and their donations. To fix it from without the system is also possible, but would require some "authoritarianism" in the form of people with guns. Anything else is just people flailing around ineffectually and getting mad at others who aren't flailing in the ineffectual way that they prefer.
Either way you've got the same problem: getting a large enough group of people together who are willing to do the thing. Socialists of all stripes have been trying to crack that egg for over a hundred years and the only ones who had any success were the ones that managed to get the peasants on their side because peasants have a certain amount of class consciousness that proles don't.
When the American populace as a whole is brainwashed into believing the only choices are red and blue, you have to accept that whining about it and voting green (or not voting) is going to accomplish nothing.
So make your colorful allegory and feel good about yourself on the internet. In the end, you are accomplishing less than the people you look down on who recognize the shitty reality of our situation.
If choosing red or blue doesn't work, and choosing another option also doesn't work, then what good does feeling self righteous about your decision to pick one over the other do? Unless you're suggesting that the shitty reality of our situation is that we're fucked and nothing will work at all no matter what - which is a level of defeatism that I don't think is very helpful either.
Who do you want running the country? The litch or the revenant?
If you've ever watched Overlord you'd know the dead deserve to rule over the living
Anime has a disgustingly right wing bent, which should be expected from a country that's been run by the right since 1955 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1955_System.
Depending on the tier of undead.
You forgot the orange spray paint.
This is literally a “both sides” meme. Fuck off
How do you ever solve a problem if you don't acknowledge it exists?
I'm not from the US, but live in a country that is a US ally with a lot of military bases. The US election effects us. The fact the DNC is fielding an old age pensioner who should be sitting comfortably in a retirement home complaining about the birds obstructing his view against an equally old fascist is deeply worrying.
People are scared that if you acknowledge the fact that Biden is concerning as a presidential candidate in any way, people will be less likely to vote for him; the sad state of the matter is that Biden is the only candidate who has a chance to beat Trump at this late of a stage in the game. The reasoning that we need to avoid criticizing him as a result of that is bullshit though, since if you're closing your eyes and voting for your default color, then such discussion won't affect to your vote, and if you're actually paying attention to the state of our upcoming election, then you'll already be well aware that being against Trump forces you to vote Biden, so your vote is locked in, regardless of how depressing it is. Nobody's still hemming and hawing at this point, and even if some are, some random meme on Lemmy isn't going to be the thing that finally gets them to make up their mind.
There's no reason we can't acknowledge the fact that, while being better than Donald Trump should win Biden the presidential election, it's not an accomplishment, and in a vacuum he's a terrible candidate. In fact, we specifically need to point out that we knew this scenario was coming for the past 4 years, and have organized no major uprisings, or even major educational movements to try to get people to force out a different Democratic candidate in the primaries; we've sat on our asses ever since the last election, and there's no reason to think we won't do the same going into the next election unless we start forcing a change in the DNC right now.
These "both sides" discussions aren't about whether or not to choose to vote for Biden, they're about getting people to notice the fact that we vote for the "lesser evil" every 4 years, saying that the time to make a change is after we're solidified our candidate's victory, but then once we've done that we do nothing until we're in the same "lesser evil" situation again 4 years later. If we want to ever have a situation where we're voting for a president we'd actually like, we need to start planning out how to force that to happen now, because even 4 whole years isn't a very long time frame to for us to push such a large change.
I can understand some people are scared that Trump is going to win because too many people chose to vote 3rd party, or choose not to vote, but everyone who's paying attention enough to be swayed by political discussion is already aware that we specifically need to vote for Biden in order for Trump to lose, so at this point the fanatical drive to quash any criticism of him as a presidential candidate seems nearly tailor-made to sow even more apathy among the voting population, making them feel not only forced into voting for Biden, but forced into liking it as well. In the end I think the efforts to prevent discussion about how neither candidate is an objectively good candidate is going to ultimately cause fewer people to vote at all, since they'll feel as though they can't even air out their grievances with the candidate they'd already begrudgingly chosen to vote for.
Perhaps if both sides were not so awful, people wouldn't feel compelled to meme about them.
If you can agree on one thing, it is that these fucks are both too old
Both of them are old senile fucks.
This is the lamest "both sides" meme possible.
I suppose that you prefer russian, north korean or iranian presidential debate more.
idk man at least their dictators are somewhat competent rulers
