It's probably state and political organizations trying to influence the election by implicitly trashing the democrats, there are farms of memers from conservative countries and organizations trying to imply that the democrats are the authoritarian party to rattle the cages of voters.
it happened in 2016 and 2020, and every American intelligence agency has been publicly cautioning voters for years that electoral manipulation through indirect methods like memes and social media posts are definitely being perpetrated by unfriendly countries and is only increasing.

It's a pretty interesting story that not many people talk about, but a lot of political memes on the internet are supplied by foreign state actors willfully trying to influence American elections, and in the case of 2016, successfully affected the outcome of the American election for the conservatives according to intelligence agencies.
you're not "calling them out", you're upvoting a lazy, misguided meme without any context purely to get attention.
"You guys are spamming the whole internet with your election bullcrap"
proof?
Just kidding, I know you don't have any.
I have zero political memes in my entire history.
"You guys are a rogue country and I hope new york gets bombed someday."
your cowardly nature right here is proof of your insincerity and misunderstanding of how war works.
This is not trashing democrats, and republicans would be worse. This is trashing all the ignorant peopel who don't understand the difference.
"all the ignorant peopel"
so glad you're on the job.
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
are you the alt account of the guy that just got banned?
That's so strange, you misspell words exactly the same and your account was created at the same time his was banned.
and yes.
you only feel like an idiot because you don't know what you're talking about, don't beat yourself up about it.
yea, i get it, enjoy your pennies.
"You are surely innocent"
well yeah, I don't even pay American taxes.
"You are not"
Yes I am, we just went over that.
"I wish you get drafted and sent to the middle east to get butchered like so many did."
what are you- oh, butchered like the hundreds of thousands of Russian casualties so far.
i get it.
that would be terrible!
enjoy the 17 cents or whatever you're making today.
geez, you actually are one of the farmers aren't you?

nice to meet you, glad you failed last election cycle. excited to see you fail and waste all that money again this election cycle.
"Idiot McCarthist lmao"
haha, dude, people are only calling you an idiot because you are literally posting objectively false information.
consider what you're saying before you write comments so demonstrably false or proven incorrect so easily.
you'll stop sounding dumb very quickly the less you write.
"...doesn't like their narrative challenged."
Repeating the same thing everybody else agrees with is not "challenging".
you mean you find critical reasoning challenging.
you having certain personal challenges is not the same thing as challenging an idea.
you simply find ideas challenging.
Fun war profiteering you can yank your crank too.
Don't see the link between this meme and the US election. I bet this is a widely shared understanding of the situation outside the US.
link:
in 2016 and 2020, meme farms were established in Russia, China and Iran specifically to covertently attack the democratic party so that The conservatives in the US would seem more rational, because for an actors with intense to harm the US want the conservatives to gain power again.
that is happening again.
Even if OP here isn't one of the Russian meme farmers themselves, their misunderstanding of the political conflict is undoubtedly influenced by the intentionally divisive and simplified memes flooded into American social media by bad actors.
It's a dead-end, lazy barely-a-thought meme and the fashionably cynical futility of American policy analysis should be confronted.
I've never posted a political meme, I think I've only ever posted one meme.
"Are you the paid propagandist? No way somebody normal speaks like that."
The American government and their intelligence agencies speak like that after discovering state-sponsored meme farms in hostile countries focused on disrupting the United States elections in favor of US conservatives.

since you already wrecked yourself, you might as well check yourself.
yep, definitely your alt.
you're wrong about all of that.
enjoy your new ban.
you're the one dehumanizing folks and paying taxes to support the war effort of Israel.
you're protesting a bit much, dovarisch.
"NO YOU'RE WONG"
I'm not Wong.
"I am not wrong in saying you guys are war crimers"
you certainly are.
"liberals who only want to outsource the oppression"
American liberals are consistently legally ending oppression.
"Barely humans humans."
dehumanization.
are you israeli, rather than Russian?
"For real, did you know euthanasia is legal in switzerland"
i did.
enjoy your trip.
I don't have that kind of time.
and I'm glad you're poor? I guess?
is that what you wanted?
as far as I understand, The meme farming is kind of a poverty wage thing, it's just to keep you all from rising up against Putin.
that was already proven.
you're obviously good enough at spamming to be paid for it.
I'm gonna agree with varik here. I've noticed a deliberate contingent of "pro-Palestinian" who are clearly siphoning votes from Harris. They seem to be targeting naive leftists and Midwest Muslims, and they always intentionally obfuscate just how much more brutal and awful Trump would be.
Trump woudl be worse.
Bingo.
