  1. π‘΄π’†π’Žπ’†π’” must make an effort at humor

Webster's Dictionary defines "meme" an image or video that's been creatively edited for laffs. Unedited screencaps of text tweets, Onion articles, or political cartoons are not memes. Exceptions made for occasional [CONTEXT] posts: unedited newsworthy media that can act as fodder for new memes.

  1. Memes must π’Žπ’‚π’Œπ’† 𝒂𝒏 𝒆𝒇𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒕 at humor

Memes should be decent-looking, clever, and show some creativity (including the title). No sloppy editing. No watermarks. No reposts.

  1. Memes must make an effort at π’‰π’–π’Žπ’π’“

Memes should be funny first and foremost. Not angry, preachy, or insulting. No unironic #hashtags. If your meme is mainly promoting or advocating or WAKING PEOPLE UP, ur doing it rong. NSFW content is fine, but no uncensored porn/violence.

  1. No personal attacks

It's politics -- folks are gonna argue! Just do it respectfully. Hostility and vulgar insults are subject to removal with a warning, while repeat offenders may be banned. Memes should not target individual users. No racism/misogyny/*phobia/other bigotry. For harassing PMs, block the user or report serious threats.

  1. No brigading or disinformation

Do not link to specific posts or users directing others to vote. Do not link to stuff here from elsewhere doing so, either. If you suspect brigading, report evidence to the mods. Unsubstantiated claims cannot be acted on. Activity on other communities is not brigading. Disagreeing with you is not brigading. Accusations in the comments are subject to removal. Blatantly misleading posts will be tagged and debunking info stickied if provided.

  1. Submissions must relate to a presidential election

This can be any election from throughout U.S. history. It cannot be a gubernatorial, senatorial, or other election unless that election involved a future president and is presented in context of their presidency or their election. The 2024 election is ramping up, but we encourage users to branch out.

Someone in my family was like β€œhe’s actually making a good show of being a viable 3rd option to everyone fed up with the poor showings from the republicans and democrats… it’s the anti-vacc stuff that’s really holding him back”

YEAH NO FUCKING SHIT

β€œAw he’s a good candidate except for the fact that he’s an awful candidate. But if you can get past that part he’s a great candidate!”

At first when I heard about him running I was intrigued, because he was saying all the β€œboth parties are shit” stuff I usually say. But when I looked into what he was all about, I was pretty annoyed and disappointed. The solution isn’t to add a THIRD shit option dude.

I remember when some were making noise about event 201. I found this article helpful understanding more about it in addition to Wikipedia: https://fullfact.org/health/event-201-coronavirus-pandemic/

He's an attractive guy and I guess he played sports ridiculously good. I don't watch sportsball, but I did see him on Jeopardy as a guest host and he's got slightly less personality and charisma than one of those black patches of gum that landed on a sidewalk and never got cleaned up. So, I don't see any chance of him having a political career. Keep in mind, I was one of the OG dumbasses that warned people not to dismiss Trump's chance of becoming the Republican nominee for president back in the 2015 era when he first announced his intentions. Also keep in mind that I've been known to be wrong once or twice before, but this doesn't seem like one of those times.
