    That’s right comrades, don’t vote for any Democrats! Vote third party or don’t vote, it’s the only way to change things! It doesn’t matter which third party, just pick one and DON’T VOTE FOR ANY DEMOCRAT EVER!

      Holy strawman, Batman! For starters, people ARE voting democrat and it isn’t doing anything. That’s why people are voting for progressives in the primary. Mamdani had to run against TWO democrats, btw, because ya’ll were so scared of an actual progressive you had to send in two of your drones to challenge him and they still lost.

        You do know the DNC chair endorsed Mamdani as soon as he won the primary and said that was the type of candidate the party needs to run for president if they want to win…

        Right?

        Edit:

        To clarify the other account is also getting a lot wrong.

        Like, you two are on the same side, you just don’t know how any of this works so neither of you understand you’re making the same points, and definitely not that they were addressed by the voting members of the DNC well over a year ago.

          Mamdani had to run against TWO Democrats because those TWO Democrats wanted to be mayor, and it’s legal to run for mayor. By the way, running against TWO opponents is easier than running against ONE, because they split the vote.

            The intent was to split the vote away from Mamdami. They just didn’t understand how much the conservative dems are hated right now.

        Lol I’m just filling in the blanks for your dog whistle fascist propaganda.

        Everyone knows that in the fucked up election system America has either a Democrat or a Republican is going to win any major election. This kind of weak ass, head in the sand fear mongering and apathy generating propaganda that supresses leftist voter turn out only benefits Republicans.

        So either you’re supporting Republican proganda because you want the facists to win or you’re a useful idiot helping the fasicts win. Either way you’re a fascist shill.

          Mate, someone criticizing DNC candidates, even heavily, doesn’t stop them for voting for them if it comes to it. Your brain is so underdeveloped that you see everything in black and white despite likely being 30+. Every American progressive I know voted for Kamala, and that also included all of their progressive friends AND organizations that they belonged to. The ones who didn’t turn out were LIBERALS that thought it was a slam dunk, and also there’s a chance the election was stolen anyways, so it wouldn’t have mattered in that case.

          Anyway, people are already voting progressives into the DNC tickets on every primary for the house and senate, so your third party blaming horseshit doesn’t work on me. The amount of third party voters doesn’t matter. Even if every single one in the 2024 election voted Kamala instead she would’ve still lost.

          We’re gonna colonize your party and there is nothing you can do about it, fossil.

            Mate, criticizing Democratic candidate, even lightly, absolutely prevents people from voting for them. You’re lying to yourself and everyone else if you think otherwise.

            God I hope not, you fascists already took over the Republican party.

              How convenient for the genocide wing that anyone who says anything even remotely untoward about netanyahu’s pets supports trump.

              Then the party should fucking die or live with the fact that you can’t force people into a religion, which would be the more appropriate term for an uncriticizeable group of political leaders than a party.

              Do you actually for real believe that’s how politics works? Because if you do that’s honestly sad as shit. Why would you support a group so weak that the most basic criticism of them makes them fail? If criticism is all it takes, why is the Republican Party still in charge?

              Hint: if your answer requires one group of people being entirely stupid or evil to make your world view work, it it’s probably an oversimplified view of the world.

              LMAO then ya’ll are doomed. If your candidates fold like a napkin any time they’re criticized you might as well just move to Europe. You’re in a cult. Millions of people have criticized GOP candidates and they still win elections. Taking criticism shoud be an important part of being a candidate, and if any criticism towards you makes you lose you were always weak.

                I love that your assumption about someone criticizing fascist propaganda is that they’re a centrist Democrat, like progressives are onboard with voter suppression. You fascists have weird world view.

                  This comic isn’t about telling people to not vote, you unholy, neanderthal headed clown. The original context of the comic is Lucy yanking the ball away every time Charlie Brown tries to kick it. It’s about people voting for them over and over, and gaining nothing but inaction and lies from it. Charlie shouldn’t stop kicking the ball. LUCY should stop being a manipulative dickhead. It means the DNC shoud stop trying to gain votes by being a manipulative piece of shit, and instead LISTEN TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

                  You are literally a live fucking example of the “54% of americans have reading comprehension below a 6th grade level” statistic. You useless, utter buffoon.
