“Democrats will never move left unless you keep rewarding them for sprinting further right and remain wholly uncritical of them treating you as a bigger enemy than Republicans and MAGA”
It does feel like a sort of good cop bad cop setup in some ways, but we literally have a candidate openly advocating for fascism, concentration camps, and purging the government, this isn’t shouldn’t even be a choice this election and it shouldn’t be as close as it is.
Aha, so democracy is not on the ballot(in the next american election)? Just ignore it and dont vote because capitalism? ok.
Alright, thats it. Thats one american election meme too many, im out. I came for leftist memes but most stuff here is just “dont vote in the next election” for some reason.
Sometimes the facts are quite memeable
Remember the electoral season where each leftoïd/russian/republican/chinese/bot somehow tells you to not vote! Not participating in a democratic electoral system surely yields admirable results!
If you think the statement “democracy is on the ballot” is a lie, then let’s at least hear what’s in your mind, hmm OP?
Is it truly democracy if your only choice is between far right fascism and slightly less evil far right pro-genocide liberalism?
I hate fascism, but calling our two party system a democracy feels like a lie.
Just because it’s bullshit doesn’t mean it’s wrong. If you actually care maybe share memes about taking action instead of doomerism.
Quit fucking waiting until the election to bitch and moan about it. Start making actual changes now and it will still take 12 years, minimum. Get involved at a more local level. Take that shit over so that you actually end up having a voice at the national level.
Mods- Why the fuck would you remove this comment? It doesn’t violate any of your rules.

Also considering I’m trans and there’s a literal fascist on the ballot who might enact policies to remove my access to HRT, or potwntially even institutionalize or imprison me and others like me, I am (and already have!) voted against him. Harris isn’t perfect, but it’s easier to make change under liberal leadership than fascist leadership.
And I’m all for grassroots change. I timed my voting, it was 11 minutes. They don’t have to be mutually exclusive, and when it’s so easy to do, why not?
“I’m changing the system from the inside”
What a stupid fucking take on the situation. We, the people, either stand up and take the power or we let whoever wants it have the power. One bug won’t due shit to the chicken. A million bugs will devour the chicken.
I think you are misinterpreting the comic. It shows the impossibility of changing the system from the inside, essentially calling for true systemic change instead of collaboration with it.
(at least that’s what I meant when posting it. might be that I am misinterpreting it)
Sorry are we supposed to be working on the assumption that there is some broad support for the mass revolt of the working class or something?
Protest, rally, petition, write, learn, educate, participate, vote. Doing only one is not doing enough.
This seems like a bad comparison because doesn’t the roach change the system by providing nutrients via digestion? Like if I eat vegetables my body will work better than if I eat junk food or straight up poison, which would give me the ability to make other meaningful changes rather than dealing with the health consequences. I guess I’m confused or overthinking this or something idk
The chicken is the system/capitalism. By your analogy the cockroach helps perpetuate the chicken as it’s consumed by it and provides nutriens
So you kill the chicken by starving it/cockroaches banding together and killing it and then…??? Again I’m genuinely confused and assume I’m just seeing the analogy wrong
feeding the chicken means perpetuating the system
I got it.
I’m tiiired of constant escalating threats, so let’s pretend they’re not real. That’ll make them go away for sure.
Honey we had a president actively suppress nearly the entire scientific and medical community in an attempt to genocide up to 10% of the US population, while authorizing cops to outright harass and hunt down another 13% of the US population.
That was before the median person was born…
And now those groups are safe forever. Yeah? No relevance to the current election, or any recent elections.
Otherwise why the fuck would you say this.
They weren’t safe, aren’t safe, will not be safe until we eliminate the US government and a other far right wing entities.
A task you plan to accomplish by staying home and letting it get as far-right as possible.
I’ve already voted child, and I’m not staying home no matter how much you people want us to. The fascist running for dem vp called the military against us. It didn’t stop us then. It won’t stop us the next timeyou people call the military out to suppress US…
Also a hard pill from the party that hates primaries (and it’s not just this cycle or 2020, the DNC blacklists consultants who work with primary candidates the party hasn’t ordained the winner for forever). Vote for the anointed one, the candidate (chosen by a legitimate primary election) on the other side is going to destroy democracy, which you can tell we cherish by not even trusting our own registered party members to vote for candidates!
It’s true, the Democrats are not our friends. But at least they’re not trying to actively set the house on fire while we’re in it.
They’re just wholly indifferent to the house fire as long as it doesnt inconvenience their donors.
What fucking house so you live in? Clearly not one with anyone that has ever encountered the US medical system or the nightmare that is the aca.
At the very least the Dems are making a little twig fire in the middle of the floor but the republicans want to have a gasoline and magnesium fire.
Ah well in that case you can kill 3 million brown children. Go ahead, you have to do it to save yourself.
Maybe they aren’t coming from the position of privilege where they could actually afford medical care, so what place do they have to bitch about it other than not having it?
Boo hoo you have problems with your health insurance. Lots of people aren’t as privileged as you and can’t afford it.
But sure, go ahead and vote for Trump. He’s been working on his health plan for nearly a decade. It must be great! /s
Check yourself
The fuck are you saying. Reread and try again or get back to reddit with the rest of your far right Nazi pals that think genocide is necessary for you to continue existing.
There’s that entitlement, all raw and ugly.
Vote for the big man and never for your manager in the workplace
