Dem Panel 1: also wants to cut social security and medicare.
Dem Panel 2: for spending billions funding nazis for a proxy war.
Dem Panel 3: Nancy Pelosi.
Your vote matters! Get out there and
rubber stamp:vote: for your own oppression, serf!Or don't. Shits so heavily gerrymandered and polling places so over-policed and the election bureaucracy so heavily politicized that it won't make much of a difference.
I mean, maybe it'll make you feel better. But don't be shocked when things fail to break your way.
from the perspective of the liberals, there really is no way that goes wrong. It makes voters vote for the Libs against the fasc which puts the Libs in power. They like that. They get to shut out left opposition as “dividing the vote”. And if the fascists win, eh, Libs don’t care about that either.
I think that's too reductive tbh. It's a calculus the donor/political class might have made, but I think a great many liberal voters are just so deep in the kool-aid they forgot what water tastes like. They wouldn't know material conditions if it slapped them in the face - they have absolutely no conception or framework to make effective sense of their world. They honestly can't understand the world they themselves built.
"B-b-but that's so radical!"
MOTHER. FUCKER. YOU KNOW WHAT'S RADICAL? SLEEP WALKING INTO 10'S OF MILLIONS OF DEATHS AND HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF CLIMATE REFUGEES ALL SO THE HUMAN EQUIVALENT OF DRAGONS CAN HAVE THEIR LUST FOR BLOOD AND GOLD SATISFIED JUST A LITTLE LONGER.
And if the fascists win, eh, Libs don’t care about that either.
Libs care quite a bit. And that makes them ripe targets for fundraising. Going to haul in $240M for another South Carolina Senate race that breaks 60/40 on election day.
tell me again about how scary Bernie was liberals. about how he talked too loud, you fucking losers got what you wanted and now you complain about the bed you shit in
See how they have to read about the shitty fascist candidates rather than being actually exposed to them and their policies in real life? Or how even after reading about them, they worry about how they’re gonna vote rather than how they’ll make sure to survive and stay safe?
This is the main demographic these comics are aimed at. Liberals. They are not the main target of these fascists. They’re opposition to them is just “moral” whereas Bernie and socialism actually threatens these petty-bourgeois pockets. They’ll always oppose that more.

A great video talking about the different factions at play in racism/white supremacy in white America. I think this comic, though it depicts a poc, is really illustrating the "white moderate" viewpoint. They are anti-racist in theory, but they're all too willing to negotiate with racists at the expense of the actually marginalized. They're then baffled when the racists keep gaining power.
That people from marginalized groups are not on the Democrat team in this game, but that we are the ball has haunted me every day since i saw that video. It's so true and so fucking terrifying.
Just one more compromise bro I swear just one more compromise all I need is one more compromise come on bro just one more compromise it'll finally solve our rightward drift just give me one more compromise.
The "HER TURN" neoliberals on :reddit-logo: were insufferably smug in 2016 after they ratfucked :bernie-pout:
Holy shit you made an alt so you can act like a fucking dork :farquaad-point:
His supporters, no his monsters compared Pete B. to the Chuckie E. Cheese rat.
A rat. I was so flustered I turned my Chuckie E. Cheese PEZ dispenser into a fleshlight. Fuck the Bernard bums, I was cheezing 'till midnight.
The performative outrage towards Bernie was maddening, especially after seeing Biden getting away with everything they pretended to hate Bernie over.
I mean I wouldn't support the first panel guy but at least he's planning to replace social security with something, the dem would just cut it
All the senior citizens can fight until there's just one left and then they get all the money! It'll be just like squid game :dean-smile:
If the Dems weren't so feckless and complicit, this would never be the case to begin with
love doing lesser evil voting for harm reduction, really making a lot of progress here
