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.
It’s funny how instead of talking explicitly about the way the American state works and looking at the effects of Trump’s vs Biden’s policies based on their previous terms their all “argument” is repeating that Trump will definitely be worst with no actual explanations and making barely relevant metaphors like the trolley problem while ignoring that it’s an oversimplified thought experiment that isn’t universal relevant.
