    I see we’re back to the same posts that came up in the 2024 election. Tying to get people to not bother voting.

      Can you point out where the comic suggests that you shouldn’t bother voting? Because I must have missed that part.

              Alright, so you can vote for someone other than the orphan crushers. Weird how you pretended like that wasn’t a possibility.

                It has proven to be less effective at stopping the orphan crushing machine than voting for democrats. It is possible that in the long run it could be more effective, though that has not yet been proven.

                  Has it? Did the orphan crushing machine even slow down a little bit when democrats were in power? Because I’m pretty sure that it didn’t.

                    Democrats tend to produce meaningfully different results within the US. I would say this is true even outside of it. At least they weren’t blowing up random ships outside Argentina and were able to make and keep deals and treaties with other countries.

          Are you talking about the one who said that trans people should “follow the law” when asked about their persecution? The one from the party that concluded it had to be less woke to win elections, after eating shit again? The one who has a long track record of doing nothing, at best, for trans people? The one who did nothing to defend roe v. Wade? That one? Yeah, what a great idea, surely signalling that you are completely fine with being thrown under the bus and persecuted (as long as there’s a guy with a combover opposing them) will not at all come back to bite you in the ass. How’s the poem go?

          First they put children in tiny cages, but I didnt care because it was Obama who did it and besides I’m still sitting nifty, so who gives a shit.
          Then they bombed trans people, but they were brown, so I’m still sitting pretty.
          And thats it, im hunky dory.

          Like the right not to be subject to genocide and apartheid? Oh wait, I forgot that you don’t consider non-white people human.

          I’ve not seen either of them do that. The best we’ve gotten is them pretending to support trans rights, then immediately backing down when they have the power to do something about it.

      Communists critique of Democrats: Somehow both not at all relevant or to be taken into account and also the reason KKKopmala lost
