Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
Arguing to change the person's mind is useless.
Arguing to create another opinion for people stumbling over a post so shitty takes are not standing there unchallenged is totally worth it imho.
No need to go into a 20 comment deep bad faith argument - but if there's no comment calling out a shitty take then that's totally something I do think makes sense
I beg to differ.

I've been staying away from making comments when I am able to resist that urge.
All I'm going to say is, go vote.
Depending on the instance, that comment would start one right away.
I've met one person, ever, who has been willing to change their mind about politics based on conversation. Even better, though both of our tempers rose at various points, the tone remained largely civil.
That person is the most rational person I've ever met and, though I'm not sure the feeling is mutual, I consider them my best friend.
I'm fuming. It's always the same people that get cheers and champaign. Respect the hard work of my vanity dammit!
I'm learning to walk away when I run out of funny things to say
Civilised societies - "Never bring up politics or religion in conversation, you'll never, ever change someone's mind and it always ends badly"
Americans for some reason - "Hold my high fructose corn syrup!"
Do you really have to use a picture of that misogynistic piece of shit? Irresponsible.
Edit: Downvoting and not starting an argument is cowadice.

Greedo not shooting first made the movie better.
The holiday special was amazing.
(Maybe not in a good way, but it was amazing.)
