Republican today should say “four, and let’s bomb the Middle East twice!”
Seriously. Tired of folks trying to act like they’re on the same level of shitiness. Magats are in a league of their own.
Accepting either presented level of shittiness is what got us here in the first place.
Trump couldn’t have done it without Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. The House Reps would struggle more, if it wasn’t for people like Schumer. If Democrats had called out AIPAC over the past twenty years instead of drooling over the opportunity to aid and abet war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide for them, we’d never had the whole “yeah i am voting for the slow genocide” argumentation being somehow “acceptable”.
And the most important thing is that the current Democrats are not going to be a driver for positive change. They are still fighting against moderate progressives like Mamdani and pushing for neoliberal reactionaries like Newsom instead.
Maybe, but they’re not helping Republicans as much as people like you
You understand that doesn’t contradict my point in any way right?
You don’t understand how Democratic politicians that have directly funded trump and normalized right-wing positions (immigration is a great example of such) are far more responsible for Trump winning the election than online commenters who criticize the Democratic Party due to it’s proximity to the Republican Party?
Capitalists are responsible for the rise of fascism. Both parties are beholden to the interests of their capital donors, they simply play different roles to uphold that interest.
Progressives who criticize the Democratic party for failing to represent their constituents, who are supposed to be working class Americans, not billionaire donors, are the ones applying pressure on the Democratic party to actually fight against fascism instead of against progressive candidates and policies. The Democratic Establishment will not change without overwhelming pressure from working class Americans
This country has been going to shit since Ronald fucking Reagan. Yes, that means Republicans are terrible. That also means the Democrats are either complicit or powerless to stop it.
That country is a shithole - founded on genocide and funding genocide worldwide since WW2.
Complicit. In an imbecilic way, but complicit.
Yeah, still not on the same level. But if we want to go with that they are, then using the same logic all conservatives are nazi child rapists… Every last one, they fuck children and want to eradicate non-whites.
for a large enough amount, less bad is not an acceptable option any longer.
And that is completely understandable, but this post seems to insinuate that the republicans don’t want to bomb the middle east, when in reality, the republicans also absolutely want to bomb the middle east, while ALSO wanting to implement a fascist dictatorship in the USA.
Republicans are currently funding Israel. Republicans are currently aiding a genocide. Republicans are currently killing democracy in USA. Republicans are currently threatening their allies with war.
Only focusing on how horrible the democrats are (and I agree they are), takes the spotlight away from the much much worse shit the republicans are currently doing, in addition to doing exactly what the democrats want to do.
i think the red hat is carrying the assumption that they also want to bomb children, mainly because republicans claim that as a feature of their rule. this cartoon wants to emphasize their stupidity as the focal point.
It really is fascinating just how stupid it can get
Theyre indeed on the same level of shitness for anyone living in global south - infact trump might be somehow unknowingly better as he is working tirelessly to collapse the imperial core.
“Let’s bomb the middle east and also blue states!”
Don’t forget that they also want to execute anyone who’s trans.
What about the American consumer?
“I support the machine that exports war to all over thr world.”
First off, not related to the current chain of comments.
Secondly, as opposed to what? Every American going totally off-grid?
I dont know. Being more thoughtful. Being less entrenched in ideology and open to making changes that could help your community without being solely motivated by money, for or against.
Hm… Maybe the ideas you’re presenting here would have some merit… If they had anything to do with what ya already fuckin’ said. As it stands, you’re literally just using them as a cheap “all Americans bad” gotcha. Super lame.
Illegalism helps.
Its the compromise position between ‘crushed between the gears of the machinery of oppression as you desperately try to stay above
watermud by sucking on a boot so hard my whole body is dragged up with each step’ and ‘open bloody organized revolt against the fuckers who would take everything from you if you ever let anything you made see the light of day’.Really we’re the moderates. Maybe dont be such a fucking partisan radical.
🤡
Why would you pick the issue they both agree on for the bottom panel?
In the first panel both are, somewhat vapidly, disagreeing based on their respective perspectives on objective reality (vapid because they both fail to see that it very clearly is a curled up sperm!)
In the second panel, one has broken with reality and the other is unwavering in their obsession with an out of scope issue. Meanwhile, the third: the artist or the viewer that shares neither perspective, is alienated because the plainly visible sperm doesn’t even matter anymore.
It’s not about whether they agree about anything. It’s about sperm.
100 years ago wasn’t the democrat party “just about” to “secede” from the dixiecrats?
TIL it is 1961
This is propaganda enabling the far right to win future elections.
If the dems can’t even beat the fucking goon squad, what good are they?
You are not gonna like this but, democrats and Republicans are far right
I am not even American.
What’s worse, bombing the middle east, or calling the Democrats out for bombing the middle east?
Calling the Dems out for bombing the middle East while it is not a partisan issue.
Oh, so if our rulers all agree on something then we cannot call them out on it? That’s what you’re implying here…
You shouldn’t call out just part of them while blaming the other, arguably worse side for something less heinous.
you guys are monsters. Fk off
For recognizing that an American but also most other people have only the choice of the lesser evil? An criticizing the appearent lesser evil for something every party does suggests a false choice. Choosing the bigger evil is not a good thing.
What does that change for us non americans? Republicans do what they show, dems pretend be good guys but are equally evil for us, which is worse.
When you look into the history of this country it’s fucking horrific. And not just in the obvious “we used to have slaves” or the “we bombed the Vietnamese” way.
Ooooh can I post readsettlers.org here or will that get me banned?
This is not related to the post. And pointless.
Yes it is, the “reality” for 100 years ago was a lie.
Literally 100 years ago was the build up to the great depression. The side was “workers should be able to eat” versus “the workers shouldn’t have rights”
Fast forward 40 years and it was “it’s okay to sit next to black people” vs. “Races should not mix and any attempt to do so should be met with extreme violence”
I love this bit, but you need something fun in there because too many fasch trolls say this shit unironically.
The West was bombing the Middle East 100 years ago too, though. 🤷
They didn’t invent bombs back then only rocks and sharp sticks.
They’re saying four because golf.
Too not American to understand
So theres two political parties that have a duopoly on electoral politics here.
One of them is shitty and evil and does not give a shit what we want. They work for their billionaire masters. All of them, save like two guys the party tries to ratfuck at every opportunity are unbelievably corrupt in incredibly convoluted ways. About half of them are pedophiles. Greed is good.
The other one is a coalition of 1. christofascist apocalypse cultists who can’t cum without either ‘a handmaids tail’ or the fire-and-brimstone parts of the bible printed on the child they are currently raping 2. Silicon valley billionaire ghouls who literally drink the blood of children, who all want to build the bad part of every 20th century piece of dystopian fiction (most of them are pedophiles) and 3. The guys they had to tone down to make the antagonists for ‘captain planet’ and ‘leverage’. The suffering is the point. Oh, also the, like normal mask-off nazis-occult and otherwise. Also they’re all nakedly corrupt and revel in it, and are so corrupt its kind of another layer of geopolitics.
The other one does not give a fuck about truth, and has beem lying their asses off since before i was born, and everybody just lets them.
