People who think Harris isn't left enough, and won't vote, are helping Trump. It's as easy as that.

These are the leftists influenced by russian astroturfing
Or the astroturfers themselves
No shit sherlock. You need to simplify your messaging in practice if you want it to work.
Ex: "Israel is actively spreading the war to Hezbollah and will drag the USA into Lebanon".
Don't say what you care about per se. Say what you know will get the other side to pay attention. Don't double down on useless memes that have limited reach. Find a simpler message with wider reach and run with it. Say less to minimize the possibility of conflicting with your audience's ideology.
The purpose of this meme isn't to make people aware of what continued support for Israel will cause, the purpose is to punch left.

I'm not punching left, I'm punching right. Tankies might be left from your point of view if you're a centrist, but they're right from my point of view as an anarchist.
This meme is making the same point as my last post to this community. https://lemmy.ca/post/25784829
Tankies are right-wing? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 You cannot be serious. Right?
Well, it's easy to believe you're not right of anyone when you refuse to believe in all the billions of people to your left.
I mean tankies are authoritarian so I think they're to the right by any metric
Technically, authoritarian isn't left or right. Authoritarian vs Libertarian is the Y axis on the political map, and Left vs Right is the X axis. It's why tankies are both left wing and authoritarian
The political compass is fake. If all the spaces that existed on the political compass represented coherent ideologies, then capitalists could be anarchists. But there's no such thing as ancaps, and there's no such thing as authleft. Anarchists are leftists and authoritarians are rightists. The means of production can either be owned by the people or by an owning class. It doesn't matter if the owning class is Capital, the monarchy, or the state. They're all the same.
This honestly makes a lot more sense to me than that compass ever did. I always felt it was getting at something real, but wasn't a great model of it. I think you probably nailed what reality is here.
Well in that case everyone should be able to agree that I'm punching to the right. Except for the tankies who think they're leftists, only agree with the part of the quote on the camera, and think I'm punching left as a result. Mystery solved!
Tankies trying to tank America and Russian trolls.
This meme's format could have been better. The contrast between the font and the character kind of loses the punch.
I mean, I hope this is true.
Very well put.
