That’s not at all what happened.
The donkey showed people the positions and the people sat at home.
The same assholes as usual voted Republican and that’s how Trump won.
People were lazy, disinterested, and not motivated to vote for the incumbent party.
So when will the Democratic Party unveil it's grand plan to actually RESIST all this fascism?
Does anyone have a schedule, perhaps?
They already did. The voters decided they didn't like the plan. That's it for democratic methods. American democratically chose not to resist fascism. https://theonion.com/america-defeats-america/
Go buy a gun and join an anarchist organisation. You won't get help with the democrats, they tried and were shut down.
They already did.
What plan was that? "Vote harder?"
The voters decided they didn’t like the plan.
Yeah, I also dislike plans that simply go, "trust me, bro."
The plan was that Harris would win the election and Trump wouldn't be president. That's resisting fascism, by denying it supreme executive power.
The voters said no thanks.
That’s resisting fascism
Bullshit. It does absolutely nothing except put a Dem in the White House for another four years and does absolutely nothing about all the fascism.
Nothing.
That's not a plan, that's business as usual.
Well okay, if you think there's no difference between a Harris presidency and a fascist dictatorship, then this comic is about you. Congratulations, you've appeared in a work of (badly drawn) art.
then this comic is about you.
So you literally assumed business as usual could stop fascism?
I suggest you wake up. Fast.
No. We weren't talking about stopping fascism, we were talking about resisting fascism. You've changed the subject to a much bigger problem and assumed drag wouldn't notice your switcheroo.
The problem wasn't Harris or her platform, it was that more than half of American voters are fucking idiots. Massive public stupidity is a problem no politician and no platform can cure. We've spent more than half a century addicting ourselves to entertainment and convenience. We need everything presented to us in memes now. America collectively has shit for brains, so we're going to have a sack of shit for President. Congrats y'all.
Fuckin a
Thanks for the blocks, I guess.
The people are tired of the Dems presenting them with weak bullshit solutions to their very real problems and being told to get on board because the alternative is worse. The cost of living in America is drowning the middle class and the Dems keep throwing us water wings.
I don't agree that Trump's policies are the answer but I can understand desperate people looking anywhere for some relief.
Drag thinks that not having a fascist dictator who wants to holocaust all the trans people is a strong solution to a very real problem. Drag got excited about the idea of the USA continuing to be a somewhat-democracy where drag's trans friends are allowed to live. Drag was excited about driving Putin out of Ukraine, and drag was very happy to vote for the West Bank not to blow up. Drag thinks all those "desperate people" seem not to care very much about queer people, ukrainians, or palestinians. And if they were only in it for themselves, maybe they could have gotten excited about Harris' plan to help first home buyers. Drag has been seeing memes for a decade about how Millenials will never buy houses, and drag feels that pain. Harris had a plan. It wasn't a great plan, but it was a plan. It seems the voters didn't just lack empathy, but also lacked self-interest.
It wasn't a great plan
You're entitled to be mad at the voters for forsaking their fellow citizens as well as the citizens of Ukraine and Palestine. But that doesn't change the fact that, "not a great plan" wasn't good enough for voters to turn out for the Democrats. Voters are inevitably going to vote for whatever they perceive as being in their own self interests. It's up to the political parties to align with what the voters want and the Democrats have continuously failed to do that.
Yes, the DNC are just as much at fault as the people who voted for a fascist dictatorship.

Trump lost some voters. Kamala lost WAY more voters. Find out why 15 million voters overall didn't vote. Or more particularly, find out why all those voters came out in 2020 and not in 2016 or 2024.
I would say 2020 was more the outlier then anything. Then again, that was right after 4 years of trump and you know waves hands all the crap that happened then.
They took the threat seriously and we really didn't take it seriously again.
The ceasefire in Gaza was always bullshit and it was obviously bullshit.
I'm going to end the war!
Putin says the same thing.
Details, bitch, with a clear path to a two-state solution because Israel has lost all rights to claim they're not an apartheid state.
Not that it matters now.
Weak platform my ass. Half of the US population is simply too brainwashed to even comprehend what Kamala offered them.
Trump lost votes from last election. Kamela lost a fuck ton more. No one became a trump voter, kamela offered nothing to the left and expected support. Do I wish my fellow leftists would of voted for self preservation? Fuck yeah I do. But at the end of the day it's the candidate at fault. And Kamala did everything in her fucking power to lose the left vote. It's the same every god damn time with the Democrats. You want something to focus your anger at? Focus it at the party fighting trump 2024 with Trump's 2020 border wall, military, immigration ass policies.
I doubt very much it was leftists refusing to vote for a black woman liberal against a fascist when those 15 million turned out for an old white man liberal.
Other then not Trump (a fair offer to be honest) what did she offer voters? She seemed to run on a status quo platform.
Half the population can't accept basic reality anymore.
It's not their platform was weak. It's that they are weak. They hold their tongue while their opponents are jerking off in their face. They mind their Ps & Qs while someone holds a gun to a child's head somewhere in America. They govern "responsibly" while half the government is on fire. There is no sense of urgency, there is no sense of reality, there is no sense they actually give a fuck.
It's easy to stand up there at the podium and wane intellectual about filling the sky with stars and ask us all to "keep fighting" but where was your fight? How did you lose to this with everything on the line?
Why would we fight for a bunch of fish to be thrown on land so we can sit there and watch them flop around drowning in a political environment that is killing them?
Maybe if Trump starts executing them, and shit becomes win or die for them like it is for a lot of people, then maybe they'll start thinking about how to win at all costs (like listening to what people actually want) instead of "we want to win, but only as long as it doesn't adversely affect our donor daddies"
No, they need to be replaced. They're complicit.
