This meme I think is the perfect encapsulation of the liberal mentality. The election is treated as a moral choice in a context free and timeless vacuum. There is no understanding of the laws of motion of history, or the logic that drives the American government, neither of which can be affected by an election.
There is the belief that you can delay fascism by voting for the liberal party, without understanding that it is the failures of the liberal party in the first place that breeds fascism.
Reading the comments on the original post, the closest thing to a long-term strategy I saw was to make progressive (by liberal standards) ideas more popular and to vote more tactically in the next elections. Even when I was a liberal, I knew this was a dogshit strategy because it is vulnerable to the Republican strategy of fucking with the legal system and acquiring power regardless of how people vote.
I cannot understand how liberals, after being being told constantly by their own media sources that republicans have made a science out of undermining American elections, believe that the counter to Republicans is ... more effort on elections.
At this point it's not even clear to me which track really represents which party.
And how do i know that there aren't even more people tied to the tracks off picture that we can't see?
Also, here's an alternative: take your hand off the switch and go and untie those people!
Or how about another alternative: grab a big piece of wood, throw it on the tracks and derail the entire train.
No...sorry, i can't even pretend to take this analogy seriously. What an infantile way of discussing politics...
At this point, if we knew the train was coming, it would be good to wreck its rails... if not have an RPG just incase
So many options to choose from and yet liberals are trapped in their little mental box where the choice is always a simple binary.
