A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

When it's time to vote.
When it's time to complain about the direct result of people choosing not to vote.
Edit: If you didn't vote, get fucked.
If you think voting between two utterly corrupt parties that collaborate on fucking you over behind closed doors matters, get fucked.
I didn't tell you who to vote for, I just told you to vote. Voting third party is still better than not voting, and you're not just voting for a party, you're voting for candidates with all sorts of different views, judges, bills levies, all sorts of shit.
If you can't be bothered to get off your ass and vote once a year, that is shitty and complaining about the thing you couldn't even fucking bother with would make you a royal asshat. Go fucking vote if you live in a place where you still can.
This is a good retort. I’m disarmed and willing to cede this point to you. IMHO, voting third party is ineffective but I will cede that voter apathy is worse.
Personally, I voted for Cruz in a solidly dem state.
If Kamala couldn’t even pretend to pledge to stop a genocide (which I knew she wouldn’t from her enthusiastic speeches for the AIPAC alone) she shouldn’t have anyone’s vote. if there are only two viable parties, at least one of them should be pacifists, right?
Thanks for the intellectually honest and non-defensive reply. You’re the type of voter shamer that I can at least come to a common ground with. 🕊️
