Noah, get the boat
(lemmy.world)
No one closes the hole.
If you close that hole, those two people would lose their job.
A jobless boat that swims is still above the water.
Because if the hole is closed what can we promise to fix as leverage to keep electing people who don't fix anything?
Some jobs do not seem to be about an income (staying above the water) but about exerting power in a hierarchy.
This is inaccurate. Democrats just won’t drill any more holes.
Seems pretty accurate. You just showed up and basically recited the "Dems aren't doing enough" line.
The lack of self awareness in some leftists boggles my mind. C’est la vie, we had a good run.
Nah. The accurate depiction would be like this:
Republican on top: "I drillled the hole!" Democrat beside him: "If you vote for me, I'll plug the hole!"
Voters and non-voters together at the bottom actively solving the problem. Non-voters: "I don't want to vote for this lazy ass" Voters: "Noooo, please vote, or else Republican will drill more holes!"
(BTW I think you should vote to prevent more holes from being drilled. But Democrats don't do enough. Biden was a president for almost a whole term now. Did he ensure basic human rights for trans people and trans kids specifically nationwide? Did he ensure basic human rights of pregnant women nationwide? Did he ensure the safety of doctors performing reproductive care? Did he penalize Israel for committing genocide? Did he enforce proper accountability for police discriminating against minorities (or, in that case, for any wrongdoings)? Doesn't look like it to me. He did cap insulin prices for some, which is nice and a step in the right direction, but yeah, far from enough)
This entire comic is just a reiteration of the same divisive rhetoric that has long since kept us from consistently making positive change. The battle has always been the people vs the ruling class, and the best way to distract people from that has always been to focus one subset of the people against another subset of the people.
If you wanted an accurate comic, you'd need republicans and democrats together on a nearby megayacht shooting holes into the boat occupied by the entire American working class. Maybe republicans are shooting the majority of the holes, but the idea that the democrats are actually baling water is ridiculous.
At best democrats are like the cops that stand by while their coworker murders an innocent civilian, then stay quiet during the subsequent "internal investigation." Sure, you should use your voting power to ensure they get in power over their gun-crazy friends, but don't for a second believe real positive change will happen until we come together as an entire working class and force it to.
No one wants to drill holes anymore
Trump would be on the boat yelling DRILL BABY DRILL.
We’ve enacted a plan to reduce the drilling of holes by 30% over the next 10 years. Give us your next paycheck to help get us there!
If this meme means the dems aren't actually fixing the problem of there being holes in the boat and continue to try to make the boat with holes work while the fascists drill more holes, then I think it's actually extremely accurate.
When do we throw the hole driller overboard? Anyone not willing to do that does not have my support.
I dont want to reach across the aisle and only drill small holes.
The hole driller needs his own boat.
Look, at some point the democratic party can take some damn responsibility for running a candidate that has been losing to generic democrats in recent polling. Instead of blaming the voter for voting third party, blame the party for not letting us choose anyone else. If Biden loses, it will be soely the fault of him and the party, not the voter. It's definitely a better option than the other primary party, but you can only run on the platform "we're not them" for so long. No shame in voting for third party and your conscious.
Dems are constantly shifting rightward at the same time as they give us small gains. Is Biden furiously bailing water over Israel committing genocide or did he put his fingers in his ears and shout LALALALALALALALALA for five months?
Found the person pouring water into the boat.
That's a pretty small boat. The other passengers had to have noticed him drilling the hole.
Why did none of them stop him?
Now this sub's centrists are gonna call me the nonvoter in this comic, but I vote every chance I get. What they really don't like is criticism from their left and only their left.
We're gonna need a bigger Noah
Perhaps you know, two bigger Noahs?
Now add another boat that was never waterproof to begin and is disintegrating into pieces filled with people calling for nuking the main boat in the image.
That's the tankie boat.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: somebody buy that man a pump
We gave them money to buy a pump. They spent it on advertising bragging about the buckets.
