    Look, it’s another AI-generated “meme” that lacks a punchline and is just soapboxing

      I’m quite happy with reminders to register & vote on a political community during election season with impending registration deadlines.

      I’ll down-vote if it becomes overly spammy but now and then I’m completely fine with it. This election is important and every year thanks to republican voter suppression laws many who want to vote often cannot because they didn’t jump through the myriad unnecessary hoops. So these collectively help.

      Small price to defeat fascism. Up-voted.

        But defeating fascism is so cringe. Don’t you know the LIBERALS are the ones pushing for that? /s

          Those darn LIBERALS! Shucks, what have they accomplished other than weekends, overtime, civil rights, child labor laws, and being the gateway for literally every legislative and constitutional change we take for granted!

            Lol. Those were socialists, not the libs. Liberals opposed that stuff.

              Please list the socialists in Congress who turned said ideas into law? I’ll wait.

              You confuse activism for legislating. Thank you for proving the point that, as stated, liberals were always the gateway for socialist ideas to become law.

                Lol. The congresspeople listened to the demands from mass movements to appease them, because that’s how progressive politics happen. No martyr of the haymarket massacre was in congress. Socialists and liberals are politically opposed to each other.

                Your stockholm syndrome for electoralism is embarrassing.

                  Correction: Liberals in Congress listened to the people.

                  There’s really no deflection you can use to squirm out of the fact that all leftist policy has gone through Congress under liberals, and by contrast conservatives would have largely ignored those activist calls while doubling-down on fascism if they could go unimpeded.

                  That rings just as true today and for this very election. Or wait, do you believe conservatives have an equal odds of passing Universal Healthcare? lol.

                  While we’re here, who ended pre-existing conditions?

      It’s not even how voter suppression works…

      OPs been posting a lot of stuff that sounds like it makes sense, but only if you don’t know what the words means.

      So yeah, I think it’s someone trying to us AI to make memes. At least I hope it’s not a real person making all these.

          Please do continue.

          Voter suppression is a long process involving districting and staffing of poll locations, along with preventing other options for voting and using spurious reasons to throw out ballots.

          It’s not just something that happens the day of. Which is what someone who doesn’t really know what it means would say.

          They’d think Republicans are physically running around suppressing votes in real time.

          I’ve done a lot of research

          I’m sure you have

          Edit:

          Side question, why do you only seem to comment on this OPs posts?

          50 comments in one year. But you show up for all of OPs posts to get his back?

          Just a crazy coincidence?

            I mean, standing outside polling areas and harassing people does happen. Hell, they even took to destroying ballot boxes. Just because one thing happens, doesn’t mean something else isn’t also happening.

              Got an example that didn’t end in arrest? If say one where they did it for an extended period of time uninterrupted, but we can set a real low bar for this one

              Hell, they even took to destroying ballot boxes

              I’m assuming you’re referring to mail in ballot boxes…

              Those things that aren’t just out on election day?

              And can (and do unfortunately) get vandalized on other days besides election day?

              Did you mean to agree with me?
