  • The turnout of this election was 63.9%, meaning around 8808400000 people did not vote for either of the two candidates. That is more votes than for Trump or Kamala, making “No One” the real winner of the popular vote. The USA bourgeoisie liberal democratic political system cannot garner large support of the population to “legitimize” it through the process of election.

    Spoken like someone who believes that 99.99% turnout and approval is how societies actually function, like the DPRK claims.

    Republican, AND all voters voters consistently ranked the economy as the number one issue to them this election. Voters flock to Trump due to his perceived opposition to the ruling class of the United States, and the injury to their economic conditions under Biden, mainly through inflation. Fascism coats itself in populist rhetoric to the confused but class conscious, proletariat.

    Have you ever spoken to a fucking Republican in your life?

    Have you ever spoken to an average voter in your life?

    'Economy' is a buzzword to them.

    Democrats control the Senate, and The Presidency. The house has one of the most razor thin majorities in US history. There is no simply world where this bill did not pass if the Democrats didn’t support it.

    Thank you for reinforcing my point. Viewing politics as a series of isolated incidents performed for an audience of completely reasonable voters is utterly absurd, even in an ideal hypothetical situation, much less the current US.

  • The democratic party is a bourgeoisie party that serves the interests of the ruling class, just like the Republicans. It is irrelevant what you say or do, the outcome of elections is determined by the bourgeoisie of the United States.

    Imagine being this desperate to absolve the electorate for voting in fascism.

    Democrats have made numerous promises to protect trans people and yet, 121 democrats voted for this bill.

    I'm sorry that you have no understanding of how legislature and politics actually function.

  • Ah, the commenter who was dedicated to the loss of the Dems at all costs is now giving advice to the Democratic Party, how wonderful. And blaming the GOP administration that may very well kill her and countless other oppressed demographics, myself included, she helped usher in on the Dems too, how predictable.

    By a con­tin­u­ous shift­ing of rhetor­i­cal focus, the Democratic Party is at the same time too strong and too weak, right?

  • They kidnap an exec though. At least a few bonus points for that.

  • Good job, guys. Really... really showed them liberals.

    God help us.

  • Once sat at the same table as another guy in high school every weekday for six months. We traded less than ten words in that time. Later we became great friends.

  • The thing is, it's not even what's depicted in the comic. The media constantly softballed Trump. While some of his success, especially initially in 2015/16, can be attributed to "No publicity is bad publicity", the fact also is that the media at large was unwilling to call out Trump's bullshit for what it was, because it would lose them part of their viewer base for very little gain. God, the number of people - including liberal leaning people - who did not know or did not understand various aspects of the promises of the Trump campaign and the actions of the Trump administration last time is just... astounding.

  • There are people on Twitter? I thought it was all bots and Musk's sockpuppet accounts
