I thought they were working on getting people to Pokémon Go to the polls!

Holy shit that was almost 10 years ago. Time flies when everyday gets shittier and shittier.

Time flies when you live in a time sucking vacume of existential dread, exacerbated by a deadly global pandemic which was made even worse by a political party trying to prolong the death hoping to gain a political advantage in the then upcoming election.

We live in the dumbest timeline.

I Agree 💯💯💯

All I want is for politics to be something I only have to think about a few months before Election Day. My grandmother who’s in her 80s told me that was the way it was back in the day. Republicans ruined American society all because they are a bunch of stuck up loser bitches and are do nothing good organized criminals.

Republicans (and Democrats) ruined American society because people only thought about politics a few months before election day.

I always thought that Joe Biden's campaign slogan should have been "Make Politics Boring Again"

Let's go to sleep for four years! Yeah, see how well that turned out?

Hillary did some maximum pandering there, but it worked since I dutifully did Pokémon Go to the Polls.

I would have voted for Pikachu

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

I'd have voted for Psyduck.

Pikachu is a loud high energy narcisist who doesn't care if he electricutes those cares about. Politically that sounds like trump.

Psyduck is a mentally and emotionally weighted creature who spends all his time empathizing with everybody. Not just those arround him, but the entire planet. He has anxiety because the world just keeps getting darker and scarier. Psy-yi-yi indeed!

Politically I'd say Psyduck is Jimmy Carter.
