If full time Walmart employees need government assistance programs to afford food and pay their rent, is it not Walmart who is leaning on government assistance?

    Ngl, this reads like an AI with the prompt, “Be as obtuse as possible.”

    The metaphor fails because the story of the photo is already there. Posting a short story to get to the bottom of what you’re trying to say with it seems like it doesn’t serve the purpose…

    Actually, after checking your account, I’m going to conclude that maybe someone with a year activity shouldn’t have 20x + more comments than someone who is already on Lemmy too much… Seems like the game is to waste maximal time or generate the most engagement with responses that are generated, in my opinion… Comments themselves seem low effort until this very specific topic. Idk, I stopped caring while typing this.

    What does blame have to do with it? Everything. That is the entire problem with cops, they get away with literally everything, including shooting her and making her basically apologize to them for the story now being about her… Maybe your meme format should include one without an actual backstory if you want to invent your own.

    The left being progressives – democratic socialists and socialists, the Democrats as in neoliberal leadership such as Schumer, Jeffries, Durbin, Biden, Obama… etc. Defended as in standing behind them when they’re blamed for nonsense or scapegoated as anti-American. Ilhan Omar comes to mind. Did any Democrat defend her when she was being called a terrorist because she’s a first-generation Muslim refugee with criticism of American capitalism?

    Perhaps while we’re explaining obvious meanings, you can explain why the cops, who were not blamed for shooting a reporter live on camera because the cops have too much power over media for them to criticize, are equivalent to leftists, who are blamed for everything? Memes which are reaches to this extent seem desperate. I wouldn’t want to be in a mind so riddled with logical holes.

    Probably couldn’t be further from the truth on this one. Even her own station refused to blame the cops (“leftists” in this analogy). When have Democrats ever defended the left? Let alone when they’re harming their own personal chances. See: David Hogg trying to purge ineffective old guard and being crucified for it.
