These motherfuckers, sitting there with their useless signs while the orange man rants and raves and belittles them. It’s goddamn embarrassing and disillusioning. They should’ve stood up with representative Al Green and walked out in solidarity when he was ushered out by the sergeant at arms. Bitches. Bitches all around.
Daily reminder that the moral high road is filled with corpses.
They go low. We go hide.
In uncertain times people cling to rules even more. To contrast the insanity of the world with a something familiar. To just "do your job" even when your entire institution has been subverted and twisted. It was like that in Germany, too.
It was like that in Germany, too.
We're going to be hearing that a lot.
Go team Venture!
Double damnit
Do you realize how many baby angels you just killed!
Wait...time out!
Need a similar one where the democrats are negotiating with MAGA about the length of the rope, whether it’s silk rope, etc.
Already in a noose helping them tie one around their colleagues neck
Hangman: "I beg to differ." pulls lever
executioner *
Except it's the people (and the protest non-voters!) hanging themselves.
The democrats didn't do anything wrong! Who could have known doing nothing to help your constituents and also facilitating genocide is unpopular?
If only there was some historical precedent to tell us whether trying to be the "moderate, reasonable, competent republicans" will get republicans to vote for you or if it just lowers turnout.
Did not voting Democrat work?
Pretty much everyone you are talking to voted Democrat. You know who didn't? People whose families were murdered by US munitions.
You know who also didn't? The mythical anti-trump Republican voters who the Biden/Kamala campaign exclusively tried to win over.
Maybe instead of getting mad at people calling out the Democrats losing strategy you should get mad at Republicans who are destroying everything and the feckless Democrats who learned nothing from this last election.
Upvoted for feckless. I love that word in general, and it's perfect attached to Democrats.
It’s a word with no proper opposite.
Have you ever heard anyone use the word “feckfull”?
Well, you just did. This being a conversation in English, feckfull is now cromulent.
Exhibit A. Congratulations!
You can be critical of the democratic party and still have voted for them. You can think they have their heads so far up their ass that they are walking around inside out, and still have voted for them.
Some of us hate the Democratic party in it's current state and want nothing more than to over turn it and "drain the swamp" but realize they are unfortunately the only safe option. That doesn't mean they don't need to change.
Even if you didn't vote Democrat, you have every right to rip their proverbial heads off and shit down their proverbial necks.
They are the opposition party... and they're doing nothing.
Yes, anyone who has a problem with the Dems is automatically the bad guy. Democrats are perfect and never deserve criticism even from people who voted for them every damn year
Who said that? I said the people and non protest voters are hanging themselves. Nice strawman!
The only way the democrats could have won is if they changed direction. Nothing I did could have made Harris promising to build the wall popular.
I have a criticism of the DNC platform. What’s your Party Approved way for me to submit the complaint to you, Your Righteousness? Or is all criticism WongThink™?
We did the right thing by abstaining. We sent a message to the Democrats. We cost them the win, and they took genocide off the party platform. In fact, Kamala Harris is starting a movement to impeach Donald Trump. We did it!
That’s not an answer. You fuckheads show up whenever there is even a slight effort to effect change. I assume you don’t think every single thing the DNC does is correct. What’s the Party Approved way to suggest even the slightest modification to our dear leader’s perfection?
Edit: upon reflection, I literally can’t tell if you are being sarcastic. That’s what this forum has come to. Are you for real?
They're a liberal doing a piss-poor satire of a communist.
For real, why do these losers keep showing up and repeating the same lame bitter jabs at imagined characters? It is sad and lame.
They catastrophically ignored a massive red flag, shouted down leftists for trying to point out said red flag and then spend their time now in the middle of a coup commenting with acidic poorly written sarcastic immitations of leftists in order to cope with losing and being crushingly wrong.
Do something you lame ass centrists. Admit you fucked up or shut up, admit you were wrong or leave the conversation, because ALL you are accomplishing now is to make nobody like you.
They aren't doing a satire of a communist specifically, just a generic lefty activist protest voter. Not all of those are communists, and not all communists are protest voters/non-voters.
Their name is LeninsOvaries.
Totally for real, and the reason for the comment you were originally reacting to.
You need a /s
People on here would rather blame the Dems than admit they got duped by propaganda into supporting fascism.
I didn’t get duped. I voted blue no matter who just like I always have.
And I still think the Dems are spineless, feckless nerds who couldn’t oppose a blind kitten with leukemia.
I didn’t get duped. I voted blue
I mean...
jk, seems you know what you'd be getting
You all get that there are still a lot of elected Democrats right? I know the Democratic party has operated for the last 20 years as if the presidency is the literal only thing they need to bother to run for, but there are actual elected officials that we expect to Serve the People. Which I know is a shocker to you liberals because anything that's not serving solely the interest of the bankers is probably upsetting to you.
There it is. See that "you liberals" part?
Now ask them where they live.
Yeah, the democrats are hanging everyone who did what they should by being spineless dweebs
Nope! We're only 7 weeks into Trump's presidency. Got another 3 years, 10 months, and 1 week of reminding protest non voters what they voted for.
Who do you expect them to vote for when the outcome is the same regardless?
After the past seven weeks you can't be serious. Nazi USA sending people to concentration camps, making being trans illegal, freezing all foreign aid, putting an unelected billionaire in charge of dismantling government programs so billionaires can get even more tax breaks, and sending the economy into a huge recession, while supporting the complete genocide of Palestine and leaving Ukraine to Russia == tepid support for Israel's genocide and none of the rest of those things.
Those are the same regardless. Do you hear yourself?
Those are the same regardless. Do you hear yourself?
Yes. I see no difference between perpetrating it and letting it happen, which is what the Democrats do. To any reasonable observer they're all collaborators.
Oh wait, no. They ARE doing something. They're whining to you for saying mean things about them and making light of the fact that they're doing nothing to stop this.
Single issue person huh? You sound like those braindead anti abortion people who would vote for the guy who wanted to eliminate SNAP when that's how they feed their kids... because he says he's a Christian or whatever.
It's disgusting what's happening in Palestine. Fuck the Democrats, and fuck the entire nation of Israel. Trump is offering the worst possible outcome for the Palestinians though. Damn, look around, you've got blinders on.
It's the old LIHOP vs MIHOP.
Is this the same artist from the "What the Fuck is a Cuck" comic?
