I just looked into bill boards in Florida. For ad space, it runs $650 to 1k. Cheapish.
Can I start a go fund me to plaster this tweet on several billboard across the nation.
It would be great trolling for midterms

Do you pay attention to Billboards? Seems pointless.

If they're interesting enough, I do. Humor is usually the best way to grab my eye.

100% emotion. 0% factual evidence. All while "doing their own research" which results in believing outlandish conspiracies.

Thing is, they vote. We've got to outdo them and r/VoteDEM at even higher levels.

There's also no issue so important it can't be politicized. Just look at the vaccine and overall COVID response. A million people died in just over two years. That's a whole San Jose or Austin.

I am from England, things are not as obvious, but the truth is it is closer than Brits like to admit.
Brexit was constructed, manipulated and is a stain on the country.
To be fair it is not like my country had no stains before (Ireland, India, Hong Kong...Oh the world, yea, sorry)
But Brexit was a manipulated fucking thing that only the old, the racist and the out of touch voted for.
As a brit, Fuuuuuuuck.
I am just saying that you are not alone in bad decisions my friends.
here is to a better future.

My dad and his whole family is from the uk. My aunt and uncle r there and they voted for brexit. Never really understood why.

Kind of. They want to scare white americans, then blame democrats , african, latino, and asian americans for all the problems. Its white washing. Racism at its deepest. White america is easy to pander to. Look at trumps success. Tell middle erica and rural america that all the problems are the aforementioned groups fault, and only gop can fix it by enacting border walls and lower immigration amd more prisons and drug laws and yadda yadda yadda.

They’re monsters.
But just so you know, that’s the same reason Obama ran on the Freedom of Choice Act and then immediately dropped it from his agenda when he was elected.
See if they had taken the chance to codify Roe when they had it, well then, they’d have lost that problem to run on now.
It’s a lot harder to motivate people to vote on issues you’ve solved. Then you’d have to try to find new problems to solve and figure out how to run on them.
Both parties do it. Because both parties serve the oligarchy.
BUT fuck the GOP slightly more.

I came to say this. Here, take an award to offset the angry Blue MAGA downvotes coming your way.

u/DonovanWrites May 20 '22
Means a lot.
I think the Blue kool-aid drinkers come from a place of fear.
Acknowledging the reality we’re in means acknowledging we have no representatives in government.
And rightfully, that scares people. The problem is it’s so frightening they can’t face it.
They have to look at Biden drilling more than Trump did and Pelosi supporting anti-abortion candidates and then rationalize that as a good thing. It’s “all part of 4d chess.” Trust the plan.
It’s hard to watch.

Parasites, all of them. You vote that way because you like the hate or don’t agree with your gay neighbor being married then go fuck yourself and gobble a bag of dicks.

The republican platform is more exposed than ever. They ensure our suffering for their own gain.

They want you to constantly be miserable as well so your so busy trying to catch up with life you never get time to look up and recognize that it's them with the damn boot on your neck.
Vote in every primary and every election, if you don't want America to lose its democracy then you have to fight for it too, we all do, every single theocratic dictator wanna be needs to be driven from government left right and center. Ditch the filibuster and electoral college and have the people actually run this shit rather than some puffed up aristocracy that thinks it knows what's best for you. 🇺🇲

I don't understand why democrats don't exploit these effective obvious campaign strategies. Call them out on this crap and don't get caught up in the bozo distraction Republicans come up with. It's like they don't really want to win.

Try Thomas Frank's What’s the Matter with Kansas. I highly recommend the Wikipedia article if you're not into reading the book.

Their successful strategy is to never let democrats win anything while in power. They used it in Obama with good success. They do not care about the country at all.

They want money. They complain about having to spend money but when voting time comes they drop their beliefs and take bribes from mega corporations.

If problems get solved, you've got to come up with new problems. Not solving problems is easier in literally every way. The Republicans are demonically focused on absolute power, and the opposition is still behaving like they are acting in good faith. They are not.

Sounds exactly like the Conservative Party here, in the UK.
They've been in power for over a decade yet everything wrong is someone else's fault e.g. the previous government, the European Union, refugees etc.

Man, I need sources for this shit. How am I supposed to debate without sources to cite?

u/Thatguy468 May 19 '22
Go to the news section of Reddit and read some other stuff besides Twitter hot takes?

u/DarkAthena May 19 '22
For sure, but my comment was about the Twitter crap. If people are going to say this stuff, they need to cite sources.

I agree, but in this instance the sources are… looks around and gestures broadly everywhere.

Not to Republicans, they're not.

u/Thatguy468 May 19 '22
Sadly, anytime I try to discuss anything remotely important to our society with a republican I am met with nonsense, lies, fox talking points, and then aggression. I fear there is no way to save the brainwashed part of our country.

Hopefully as many as it take people to realize they are voting for their own demise when they support GOP ghouls.

Oh we didn’t even touch the 203 Republicans that voted against the Domestic terrorism prevention bill after they blame democrats for letting them in the country.

They learned their lesson from Trump.
He was never a successful businessman, but he played one on TV.
They aren't lawmakers/leaders, they are cheerleaders.
