    the character in the comic is not a nonvoting democrat (the subject of your linked article).

    I did not vote democrat because I am not a democrat and therefore not a nonvoting-democrat. The democrat party did not convince me to cast my vote for their candidate. Just like now I am not a republican either. I did not vote republican.

    Democrats lost because they neglected to consider just how important it could have been for their candidate to fucking come out against israel. It’s all she had to do: promise to not send a single dime to genocidal fascists. she had years of opportunity to fight her own president for that kind of change too.

    Look what we got “instead.” A fascist who supports genocide.

    Both parties are very much the same: capitalist.

      Even just staying silent on the issue would be enough to differentiate her from Biden for many. She couldn’t even avoid talking about how much she hated college students, but yet people act surprised those demographics didn’t go out to vote. Weird how insulting potential voters and explicitly telling them you don’t care about their vote leads to not getting their vote.

      Given she avoided taking positions on most issues until the week of the election (other than to oppose healthcare and support fracking), I have a hard time believing someone in the campaign wasn’t intentionally trying to throw the election…

        huh. news to me. good to know. It would help, grammatically, if their party was not named after a concept/philosophy. It’s reminding me of “data are” vs “data is.”

        though the democrats have been decidedly less democratic as of late, seems more like the acknowledgement of that fact then just a pejorative. if the shoe fits maybe they should do something about it.
