Here’s the thing: When you don’t vote, you COULD be saying that both candidates are bad, and you don’t like either of them…
Or you could be saying that both candidates are great, and you love both of them. That you’re sure either of them will do an equally good job of running the country, so it doesn’t matter who wins.
And if you don’t feel that way, then you need to VOTE
Here’s the thing, when both of your parents beat you within an inch of your life, you COULD be saying that both are bad and you don’t want either of them to have custody.
Or you could be saying both parents are great and you love both of them. That you’re sure either of them will do an equally good job of raising you, so it doesn’t matter who gets custody.
And if you don’t feel that way, you have to pick one!
Acting like voting D would fix anything is a huge part of the problem.
Dems gave me affordable healthcare when I was young and poor.
Last Dem was progressive as fuck, but everyone focused on his age because the TV told them to.
Voting records show Dems regularly vote in favor of average Americans and have for a long, long time.
Sorry bud, reality disagrees with your feelings.
Just because a party isn’t perfect doesn’t mean they aren’t beneficial.
Acting like not voting at all would fix anything is a huge part of the problem. Yeah the Democrats not going to do anything, but you know what that means, the Democrats won’t do anything. They won’t embarass America on the world stage every day, they won’t fund the Gestapo to assault minorities and they won’t threaten allies with invasion.
Sure the Democrats suck, the whole damn system sucks but it’s a whole lot better for a whole lot of people when the Republicans are not in charge.
I wouldn’t advocate for not voting, voting third party would be my advice if you don’t want to personally get involved in politics.
voting third party would be my advice
Hope that advice only applies to local/state elections, cuz voting 3rd party for president is about as useful as an asshole on your elbow.
The only reason its as ineffective as it is now is because of people like you spend a ridiculous amount of time and effort shaming those who might consider it.
Saying a third party couldn’t win is factually incorrect, yet its a common phrase on here isn’t it.
Saying a third party couldn’t win is factually incorrect
Oh, you like facts?
Here’s one.
In the 2024 election the 3rd party presidential candidate with the most votes only got 0.5% of the total votes cast.
So it is FACTUALLY CORRECT to state a 3rd party can’t win the presidency.
Like, what do you not grasp here? No 3rd party has done the work to become nationally viable. No 3rd party even has a SINGLE member in Congress. It is ACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE for a 3rd party candidate to win the presidency anytime in the remotely near future. It would take YEARS and YEARS for a 3rd party to become a household name and get members in Congress and actually have a shot at the presidency.
Therefore, voting for a 3rd party candidate for president is akin to wiping your ass with your ballot, smelling it and thinking it smells nice, then flushing it down the toilet.
Only once has a third party candidate made much progress, and Perot was right-wing/libertarian. You can’t skip right to a third party presidential candidate without making progress with that party locally first, then in Congress. That just how this system works. You can pretend that enough people will spontaneously vote for your same third party candidate, but that’s a demonstrably a fantasy. You can claim that a vote reflects on your own morality rather than something strategic and practical, but that’s a view pushed by people hoping to take advantage of youth vanity and split the vote.
They won’t embarass America on the world stage every day, they won’t fund the Gestapo to assault minorities and they won’t threaten allies with invasion.
Yaaay we get decorum and stability at home so we can ignore the Palestinians / Yemenis / Somalis / etc being bombed overseas! Hopefully the bomb will even be dropped by a diverse team under the Dems!
So you are suggesting things would be the exact same if Trump hadn’t been voted in and that you were completely content and fine with a Trump presidency and Republicans holding all branches of power.
You are as much a Trump support as MAGA taking the side of downplaying how bad he is. No different in fact than smart Trump supporters readjusting their message of downplaying criticisms and trying to convince the left to not vote because both sides are equally bad, so please don’t vote.
Very smart right wing strategy of hiding their allegiance acting like they are a leftist, but doing what they can to discourage voting and trying to convince people both are bad since they know they can’t win them over to the right. So next thing is don’t vote.
Voting D is not the cure for cancer but it seems to be a viable chemo treatment… voting R is like feeding the cancer with yellow #5 and plutonium
You guys needs more options…
What I like about this is how it shows communication breaking down, not just disagreement. That feels very real.
Just commenting to get it past 88 comments. Crisis averted.
pizzacakecomic
Looks like my first block on a community goes on this sub
Woof the comments here are…wow. Someone is going out of their way here.
Go vote, but it’s worth remembering that for the most part, the other party only does milquetoast critiques of the Nazis at best.
I’m assuming by “one side” you mean the Republican-Democrat Uniparty which waged an internationally-recognized genocide in occupied Palestine. Seems like a pretty “Nazi” thing to do.
The people I voted for, the Green Party, are indeed Nazi-free!
Seeing the responses here … and it’s no wonder why Trump’s in power.
The .ml’s are gonna .ml - it’s the others that make me wonder.
The German national socialist workers party is coming back?
If only the corporate Dems were actually on the good side… Sigh.
Yes but the other side is a woman.
Pizzacake, try to make one funny comic [challenge: impossible]
they don’t have to be funny, but it would be nice to see one that isn’t just her winning an argument with an imaginary person
Yeah, her entire platform is preaching to the choir without adding anything interesting. It’s easy to make a comic saying Trump is a fascist, and Elon Musk is an idiot. But we already know that, so…
On the other hand, you can’t blame her because people seem to enjoy dunking on the opposition so much that they don’t notice. It’s probably easy to crank these comics out and make a living.
The crappy comics are just an ad for her porn.
Not a very good ad, I didn’t even know she does porn lol
Democrats don’t oppose Nazis. Chuck Schummer, Hakeem Jeffries and Ken Martin did not oppose the Nazis. they have no intention of fixing the system that let the Nazis in.
Psa: when reading the comments remember that maga want you demotivated and to stay home and just take it. Because they will vote, and they will not split their vote.
