Political meme belongs in the political memes community, friend.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thankee Sai. It seems I can't open lemmy now without a sea of righties airing their grievances against Obama and Hillary under the guise of "memes"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I didn't see it as a right wing meme. I read it as her saying bullshit patriotic speech and trump being to dumb to understand her.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What sort of memes community is this then?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

General memes. Political memes are very specific and often USA centric so not everyone can understand and/or really care about them let alone laugh reading them.

Fair enough… but… Hillary Clinton is more than a political meme. She’s more than a president. Maybe she is an idea, a world-historical heroine, light itself.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Only republicans ever gave a shit about Hillary.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Okey, not gonna lie here. That was one funny read. But you can change her name with Ellen Degeneres and it still mostly work as a crazy groupie love letter.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That was sarcasm, right?

I'm almost certain it was written ironically, but Hillary supporters can be so insane that I can't even tell the difference.

I tried to read this article but I teared up too much and I couldn't see to be able to keep on reading.

If Yoko Ono were still alive she'd write an song with an odious, racially-charged comparison between Hillary and black people and everyone around the world would come together every year on November 9th to listen to this song and to mourn our collective loss.

Wow, thank you, I wish more people could understand

Are Republicans STILL whining about Hillary? You wanna talk about rent-free, man. That woman doesn't just live in your minds, you've given her acres and acres of free mental real estate.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I see more Dems whining about Hillary losing, to be honest.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Were you able to type that without laughing?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, the Dems still being bitter about Hilary losing is very funny.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Okay buddy. Whatever you gotta tell yourself. Why don't you go enjoy some buttery males?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

buttery males?

Hahah, there it is. 7 years on and you're still salty about it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's the shit you clowns have been whining about. It's your thing. Sad that you can't even own it. But then find me a Republican who's honest and consistent and I'll find Santa.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hahahah, you think I'm a Republican?

Mate, you're way off.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Doesn't matter what you call yourself, you're still singing the same song.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The song of Militant LGBT rights (with particular emphasis on trans rights), radical economic restructuring to reduce economic inequality, a massive reduction in military budget, foreign aggression, and general militarism, the defunding of police to be replaced with better social services, the decolonization and uplift of the global south, the destruction of the capital class and the abolition of traditional gender roles? Please tell me about these republicans singing that song, they sound awesome.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean now it just seems like you're trolling. Literally the only time I see Hillary come up these days is in right wing memes and whining. Maybe we just live in different dimensions.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Maybe we do live in different dimensions, in terms of media ecosystems. I don't see her come up that often, but when I do, it's usually bitter liberals re-litigating 2016. That said, I probably don't look in many spaces populated by MAGA chuds.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sorry if you get a double reply, I wanted to confirm what I said. But yeah, on Sep. 2nd retired general and 24th national security advisor for the president, Mike Flynn, was on Infowars claiming Liberals planned to have 8 years of Obama followed by 8 of Hillary.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're literally whining about her, right here. Right now.

I’m wither

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm just here for the sea of "It's the Dems that are still crying about Hillary, not us"

Never mind reality where she lost the primary HARD but the DNC just didn't give a fuck. It just doesn't fit the rights little pornworld.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She didn't lose the primary. More people supported and voted for her constantly from day one of the primary to the day it ended.

I caucused for Bernie but this reality denial shit is lame as fuck. Progressives need to be able to understand that in an ideologically diverse coalition, not everyone is going to agree with them, and that's the will of the voters, not corruption.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

"I caucused for Bernie but I fucking hate progressives and everything they're about"

Cool story bro, just because you're on the internet doesn't mean you HAVE to lie. You can just openly say you hate progressives without this whole "trying to avoid the stigma of being a Republican" garbage.

Uder history confirms 😂

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've been disillusioned from the progressive movement largely because of the institutional inability in many of the prog organizations to deal with reality.

Lying and claiming I hate progressives is a good example of the kind of self defeating, toxic anti-intellectual verbal masturbation that drives me away. I'd rather deal with someone who I disagree with than an angry child like you who can't have a productive conversation with another human being.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I thought there were a lot of deplorables. That's not good.
