What, is it 2015 again?
Republicans are known to not be with the times.
Is that really the problem people have with the post though? If someone made a January 6th meme on here it would 100% get upvoted.

Jan 06 was far closer to today and the ripples are still being felt. The threat that created Jan 06 is still there.

Warren was never anything more than an out of touch obscenely wealthy boomer trying (possibly sincerely, though unlikely) to be socially conscious.
As with every “both sides” style argument, your equivalence is a false one.

What? She ran for president once and I wouldn’t be surprised if she does it again. I myself voted for Bernie in the primaries, but she was my second option. But I guess the more irrelevant she is the better it is for your argument.
Anyway, your response is missing my point, so I’ll spell it out for you: PRO-LEFTIST POST = GOOD; EVERYTHING ELSE = BAD. I thought reddit was pretty skewed but this place is nothing but democrats and tankies and that’s all that’s allowed.
Anyway, your response is missing my point,
Because you made your point poorly, using a false equivalence. Warren being a fool years ago is different from Jan 06 memes in many more ways than one being about a democrat and the other being republicans.

Ok boss.
Just post something funny and relevant next time.

I’m not trying to jump down your throat or anything. This just reminds me of the insufferable “anti-sjw” YouTube era.
Swear to god right wingers bring up Elizabeth Warren’s heritage infinitely more often than she does
It wouldn’t be a good move to remind us of this news story now would it?
But seriously, I hate how people assume you’re a conservative if you say or do anything against the “blue team”. I’ve voted for democrats my whole life but I just found this whole situation to be funny and I remembered it recently.
Ignorance can make you find a lot of things. Funny that aren’t. I’m on the tribal rolls, have attended tribal events. And even my father isn’t quite one percent genetically. The funny thing about genetics is that in just a couple generations all relevant markers could be gone. It is extremely unlikely. But absolutely possible. Throw in a few more generations and it only gets worse. It’s how genetics works.
If you don’t want people to think you’re a conservative. I suggest stop acting like one and carrying their water. Just a humble suggestion.
What a well thought out response! I wonder if the same type of comment would be found under something mocking a political figure from the right. Somehow I doubt people would have a problem with a post poking fun at Anthony Weiner’s nude pics from a few years back or Ted Cruz going on vacation during a hurricane. On the flip side, I’m sure a meme about Khamala Harris keeping such a low profile would be downvoted to hell.
Look, I get your point about seeming conservative but we should be comfortable mocking both side of the political spectrum. You fucks clearly aren’t comfortable with that because it goes against the echo chamber in here. I try to spread the love evenly, but it’s clear that the culture on Lemmy won’t allow certain topics to be the subject of humor.
Those on what Americans consider the left are right wing. Warren herself, despite how left she’s portrayed, is a former republican even.
No one’s going to defend Anthony Weiner or Ted Cruz because what they did was obvious and craven. Pretty much describes everyone on the far right in the United States. Which is why you don’t see a lot of defense of them. And vice president’s generally always keep a low profile. It’s not just Harris and it’s not even noteworthy. Criticize her on her prosecutorial record. There’s something that you can actually critique.
I’m fine with mocking people who deserve mocking. You yourself have even mentioned how people are fine pointing out and mocking Anthony Weiner. Yet you claim that we somehow we as collective group which we aren’t can’t take being mocked. Which we can. Which you just pointed out.

Okay, whatever you think is “valid criticism” of left-wing politicians would still not be well received here. That’s my point.
