Remember when we thought he was hosed and were laughing about how he totally wasted this moment?

[–] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 70 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

The thing is, he DID waste it.

And then Kamala hired Hillary's campaign advisers, got rid of her 2 most popular slogans (We're not going back + They are weird) and started hugging Dick Cheney's right-wing daughter. Kamala's campaign is somehow more embarrassing and incompetent than Hillary's, and that's saying something.

I choose to believe that it’s the happy birthday tweet that did her in

[–] KurtVonnegut@hexbear.net 33 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Nah, objectively and logically it was when she said who-must-go must go.

It's like The League of Shadows from Batman is working to sabotage everyone who says it.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 4 points 34 minutes ago

[–] SoJB@lemmy.ml 7 points 42 minutes ago

He wasted it, but he was playing against the Washington Generals in this election cycle.

Can someone please explain it to me?

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 29 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

You see, the chapotraphouse subreddit was big supporters of Bernie Sanders so when he lost the Dem election in 2019 there was chaos there mostly coping and the most upvoted Post in that time became a Picture of Lenin saying "and were did that bring you? Back to me" and the MLs started talking about the failures of electoralism in liberal democracy and radicalising the bernie people

It was a fun time

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 10 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

I knew I first saw the meme there but is that actually its origin too?

[–] asa_red_heathen@hexbear.net 12 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Technically the quote "And where did that bring you? Back to me." is a line Thanos says in Avenger's Endgame. It became a larger meme that then birthed the chapo bit and you know the rest.

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 8 points 1 hour ago

FUCK yes thank you I knew there was something else to it, I've seen exactly zero MCU shit since Iron Man so I forgot about that

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 10 points 1 hour ago

Yep, in the 2019 bernie lost, sometime people reposted it but with bernie was the first time

Lenin was the man who pushed for the socialists in Russia to rise up in active revolution when nearly all other socialist leaders wanted to collaborate with the bourgeois government. He single-handedly made sure the October Revolution was launched an the USSR was created. He also spent lots of years arguing against other socialists who thought working inside electoral systems was the "right" way to bring about progressive changes.

bernie can still win actually

[–] Comrade_Mushroom@hexbear.net 21 points 2 hours ago

I don't know how it's possible that both Lenin and Schwarzenegger remind me of my dad, but here I am I guess.

[–] ComradeRat@hexbear.net 18 points 2 hours ago
