Even as a joke, I hate it when people write in candidates like this. It reminds me of people writing “Harambe” when that was recent.
You can print off sample ballots and make memes all day.
A little levity during this crisis is understandable. As long as the context is clear that wasting votes isn’t cool.
Yeah, I think sometimes dumb memes are good to break the tension. A lot of people are on edge today.
I know I am, and I usually deal with stress rather well. There’s a different weight to it this time.
I can’t vote, not American, and honestly that doesn’t make it easier. I don’t want to have to go back to falling asleep wondering what bullshit I’ll wake up to every. Fucking. Night. I’ll take what laughs I can, but day drinking might be an option tomorrow.
I have several local races with only a single Republican candidate.
It doesn’t matter if I write John Smith or Harambe, it isn’t like the one on the ticket is going to lose and at least I got to vent a little. Best case the news does a little story on funny write in candidates.
Argh, why didn’t I think of doing that?
Vote for “Pleasegod Anyoneelse”
Yup, there’s a legitimate purpose to spoiling your ballot
Write in candidates don’t spoil a ballot.
They do depending on what you write in, and writing in a candidate that’s not eligible is spoiling adjacent if not outright spoiling
Yeah, the same way that rare is adjacent to eating raw meat.
A most somber dick out for my boy.
You know photographs can be faked, right?
Trump wrote this.
Can he even vote in this election with felonies?
I believe so. He resides in Florida, and was convicted in New York. For out of state crimes Florida follows the rules of the convicted state. New York let’s felons vote as long as they aren’t in jail.
He can’t, but he already did.
Fake news, that’s not in sharpie.
How is there already so much JPEG degradation on a new meme?
For some reason sometimes phone pictures are way oversized so the only way to properly send or upload them is to reduce the resolution drastically.
Also we allowed the same guys who made YouTube compression design the image format that Lemmy instances use.
Properly resized images should not have noticeable artifacts, and by properly I mean resized to the target size.
This one looks like it was downscaled too far and then upscaled again. The write in text is so clear I’m sure it is photoshopped.
Nice catch, they probably found a random image online and blew it up for the edit.
The print is smudgy and the oval graphic on the print is a raster that’s already been stretched, I think. Add the image focus being a little off and the compression by the file host, and it’s a conjunction of mess.
Unimaginably stupid.
