The blue moderate is still our only hope (spoiler: it never was)
I mean the part that no one really wants to confront is that there is no alternative with a viable chance. The blue moderate has been suffocating all other options for ages and now that it’s come to this, there’s nothing waiting in the wings to rely on.
That’s because blue moderates are far more highly palatable to the majority of Americans than hard leftists. The hard thing to confront is that despite how it feels on Lemmy you guys aren’t a voting bloc worth pursuing.
Not on policy

The moderate Dem voters would have still turned out for Sanders in the general. Fuck this timeline and fuck the defenders of those who put us on it.
Really?
So the reason they tried to start a national movement to vote Republican when it was Obama…
That wasn’t the progressive policy he was campaigning on?
I thought that’s what it was, if not, why do you think a bunch of boomer “moderates” just could stomach voting for Barrak Obama?
What charestic besides policy stances do you think made them go Republican, assuming you’re right they’d have voted for Bernie.
The truth is, if Bernie was the candidate we wouldn’t have needed them, just like we didn’t need them for Obama
This doesn’t seem to mirror my experiences, is the DNC actually pushing a position of not worrying about the situation? Or is this in relation to lack of newsworthy action from a lot of the party heads? /gen

Biden had immunity to do literally anything to prevent the rise of fascism. What he did: nothing.
He increased the funding of cops and send trillions to wars abroad
“We’re not going to go after every single issue” -Schumer
“We are picking the most important fights and lying down on the train tracks on those fights.” - also Schumer, immediately after saying that.
Exactly. In the cartoon above, “pulling the trigger” would be “the most important fight”.
From the depths of history, Vasily Grossman once again:
One of the most astonishing human traits that came to light at this time was obedience. There were cases of huge queues being formed by people awaiting execution – and it was the victims themselves who regulated the movement of these queues. […] And it wasn’t merely tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, but hundreds of millions of people who were the obedient witnesses of this slaughter of the innocent. Nor were they merely obedient witnesses: when ordered to, they gave their support to this slaughter, voting in favor of it amid a hubbub of voices. […] What does this tell us? That a new trait has suddenly appeared in human nature? No, this obedience bears witness to a new force acting on human beings. The extreme violence of totalitarian social systems proved able to paralyze the human spirit throughout whole continents. A man who has placed his soul in the service of Fascism declares an evil and dangerous slavery to be the only true good. Rather than overtly renouncing human feelings, he declares the crimes committed by Fascism to be the highest form of humanitarianism; he agrees to divide people up into the pure and worthy and the impure and unworthy. The instinct for self-preservation is supported by the hypnotic power of world ideologies. These call people to carry out any sacrifice, to accept any means, in order to achieve the highest of ends: the future greatness of the motherland, world progress, the future happiness of mankind, of a nation, of a class. […] The violence of a totalitarian State is so great as to be no longer a means to an end; it becomes an object of mystical worship and adoration. […] Another fact that allowed Fascism to gain power over men was their blindness. A man cannot believe that he is about to be destroyed. The optimism of people standing on the edge of the grave is astounding.
Are they three different species?
I get two of them are supposed to be humans, and the police a faceless enemy, but it feels like something unconscious was accidentally said visually.
Lady’s tiny like a Hobbit or a Troll or something.
The premise is jackboot cops fucking with a black person and your takeaway is that the artist is racist?
the blue donkey is the DNC, a caricature of how the democrats are represented. its similar to how the republican party is depicted as an elephants.
I don’t see anything racist about this, wouldn’t think too deeply about how its drawn
Standing, she’d be about the height of one of the cops legs. I get that some people are short, just has an awkward read visually (fascists can be stopped, cops can be hurt, they’re not invincible or superior).
Ah yes, the common raciat stereotype of black people being… uh, short
I didn’t say anything about a stereotype being applied, except to the fascist imagery (that they’re ubermensch/strong).
I’m starting to think people aren’t able to read what I’m saying. No wonder you guys are peacefully accepting the new regime as if it’s all powerful. You all seem defeated and trapped in your ideological mindsets.
Good luck.
