Who is that woman on the right? Are we supposed to recognize her or something?

    I know it’s overused at this point, but weird doesn’t even begin to describe the kind of thinking that goes into creating something like this.

      What is up with his jacket/cape? Why is he doing the Riverdance? Are they trying to make kamala look cool? I’m so confused.

      They’re a pretty famous Qmoron. That chose to call themselves “catturd.” That’s a name no one would self apply where i come from. It’s like they came up with their name after being asked what was the last thing they ate.

        I’m aware. Also, it was one of the banned accounts that Musk restored. And then gave extra preference to in the algorithm.

      Gotta begin describing how weird it is somewhere though. Like, isn’t it weird how one of the people those characters are supposed to represent is actually a Russian puppet, but the artist put the Russian flag behind the other one?

        Yes.

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_monotheism#Violence_in_monotheism

        The intolerance of narrow monotheism is written in letters of blood across the history of man from the time when first the tribes of Israel burst into the land of Canaan. The worshippers of the one jealous God are egged on to aggressive wars against people of alien [beliefs and cultures]. They invoke divine sanction for the cruelties inflicted on the conquered. The spirit of old Israel is inherited by Christianity and Islam, and it might not be unreasonable to suggest that it would have been better for Western civilization if Greece had moulded it on this question rather than Palestine.

      Do you not see how easy to manipulate that makes you?

      And before libs get their panties in a twist - fuck trump, but seriously, when you’re at the point of “I don’t care what I’m voting for, just not that guy”, you’re not the one with any power, you’re just another puppet whose consent to at best maintain the status quo is easily manufactured by those who actually have the power, and with exactly the same tactics used on the other “team”.

        What exactly do you think the alternative is here? Not voting just surrenders what little power the electoral process does give you. Even if electoral politics aren’t a meaningful way to advance your vision of a better country, this is still an opportunity, however small, to reduce the harm that will be done under a Trump presidency. Like, even if you don’t expect Harris to meaningfully improve things (and there are a lot of areas where a former cop probably shouldn’t be expected to), the alternative is someone who continues to actively promise to make those same areas even worse.

          Characterizing her as just a “former cop” isn’t fair. She was a district attorney, then an attorney general, then a senator, then vice president.

            Absolutely, and her record in those roles imo actually suggests at least some awareness of the kinds of problems that need to be solved there, though I’m sufficiently cynical about things that I would be surprised to see significant action on federal reforms. I’m cautiously optimistic about her, but my point is that even if you don’t think she’s any different from a rank-and-file Republican that would still make it irresponsible not to vote against Trump and the very specific plans he and the people around him have to make all of those problems even worse.

            There is definitely room to push the Overton window farther left and (federal) electoral politics does not give an avenue to do that as long as the Republican party continues to drift further right. But the way to do that does not involve abandoning powerful federal offices like the goddamned presidency to right-wing loons.

        Look man, it’s true, our government gives us very little real choice, and having to make a binary choice for president sucks. But that’s what we have, it isn’t getting fixed before November, and I really can stress enough how bad one of the choices is. So, given no other realistic choice, I am going to vote to defeat that fascist orange idiot, and even if the person who wins isn’t great, it’s such a low bar not to be worse than Trump, I can confidently say that I will vote for whoever the DNC nominates, with virtually no exceptions.

        This isn’t a difficult position to arrive at, and nobody holding this position is actually serious about voting for literally anyone. We’re just using hyperbole because it’s pretty much impossible for the DNC to nominate anyone worse than Trump.

        And I actually like Kamala, fwiw.

          Obviously they wouldn’t vote for Satan because she’s not real, but if Mitt Romney switched parties they’d happily vote for him.

          Tell me I’m wrong.

            I don’t like Mitt and voted against him when he ran.

            But I’d still vote for him over Trump if those were my only realistic options. I mean, obviously.

            Yes, if those were my choices, I would choose Mitt Romney over Trump. Maybe not “happily”, but that is immaterial. Was this supposed to be a gotcha?

              No, it’s an accurate description of what kind of politics you have. I was just pointing out exactly who and what you are. You’ll vote for a anti-gay, anti-trans, anti-abortion conservative if it means beating Trump. For you, Trump is pure evil and any lesser evil is acceptable if it means we can stop him.

              Think outside the ballot box, I’m begging you.

    Every one of these Kamala memes they make just make her seem more awesome, I hope they keep it up. So far what I’ve learned from their memes:

    • She’s not sexually repressed and instead is empowered by her sexuality
    • She’s gonna give everyone healthcare
    • She’s a communist tiefling, all my homies love communist tieflings

    I was really on the fence between Donald and Kamala. But I think this is what pushed me into the Trump camp. I mean, come-on, it’s as if someone depicted Trump as the Chad and Kamala as the soy wojack. There is no argument. It’s over for the Democrats.

      You gotta add “asian,chinese” to the negative prompt to counter the massive bias towards asian faces image generators inherit from the content they scraped off of Flickr. I hate AI, and even I know how to make quality disinformation.
