X, Meta, and CCP-affiliated content is no longer permitted

Hello, everyone! Following recent events in social media, we are updating our content policy. The following social media sites may no longer be linked or have screenshots shared:

  • X, including content from its predecessor Twitter, because Elon Musk promotes white supremacist ideology and gave a Nazi salute during Donald Trump's inauguration
  • Any platform owned by Meta, such as Facebook and Instagram, because Mark Zuckerberg openly encourages bigotry with Meta's new content policy
  • Platforms affiliated with the CCP, such as TikTok and Rednote, because China is a hostile foreign government and these platforms constitute information warfare

This policy will ensure that r/antiwork does not host content from far-right sources. We will make sure to update this list if any other social media platforms or their owners openly embrace fascist ideology. We apologize for any inconvenience.

It's not about Harris appealing, it's about Trump losing. It's always been that way. Shit in one hand and idolize in the other and see which piles up first. Congrats, we've got fist fulls of shit to deal with now.

If you can't make a decision to vote against Trump despite Harris not being your ideal candidate, then you're an uninformed voter. Or a single issue voter, but now I'm being redundant.

That's not how elections works. You actually need to appeal to voters.

Imagine your playing a video game about getting elected for president. If you moved the "give people what they want" slider down, you would expect the "votes" slider to go down as well. And the "not be Donald trump" switch is always on so it doesn't really matter.

I don't know man, I just feel like they should have moved the "give people what they want" slider up, but I'm no consultant, what do I know?

No, that's exactly how elections work.

The problem is that leftists only want to vote for an ideal candidate rather than voting against the obviously bad policies of the right.

The "give people what they want" is populism and populism is bad for all of us.

What are you talking about? The people want Healthcare, the people want better wages. The people want safety nets. The people do not want "everything is okay the way it is now, we just have to stay the course"

They dont fucking care if that statement is true. Because it sure as fuck doesn't feel true. Shits bad out there man. People don't want to hear "we just have to suffer a little longer" no one is voting for that.

I'm not even talking about appealing to ideological leftist. They didn't appeal to VOTERS.

The Democratic party is the only party that supports universal healthcare, increased minimum wage, and expanding social security. None of that happens because we keep putting Republicans in congress who keep those bills from passing.

How fucking uninformed are you? We're done here.

Once again, the liberal cope has come back to "Republicans are the only things stopping progress." Which is why when the dems are given the house, senate, and white house they put through sweeping legislation.

Oh wait what's that? Manchin is barking? Wait, is that Sinema yapping? Oh no hold on that was just Joe Liebermans wife who is friendly with the pharma lobby.

These obstructionists must ALL be Republicans? Oh wait. They're not. They're internal democrat obstructionists.

The national democratic platform is not universal healthcare lmfao. If it was Kamala would've ran on it. What happened to all of Kamalas "radical left wing agenda" she had during Trumps first term? They magically faded away once she had a semblance of any power.

Weird.

Trump keeps getting more far right because he wants to attract more voters. Kamala, meanwhile, was campaigning with Liz Cheney and telling Visa executives that Lina Khan would lose her position, while sending of Clinton to tell Michiganites to ignore the pro-Palestinian sentiment days before the election.

We can't do an increase in the minimum wage because of the Senate Parliamentarian.

I'm fine with voting for a lesser evil. The thing is, you have to offer me an evil that is a meaningfully lesser one.

Support for Azov and 15 months of genocide isn't it.

It's not about Harris appealing

Well, she lost. So maybe it should have been about her appealing to voters?
