Progressives are not the ones who put you in this position. You did by consistently voting for weak, ineffective leaders. Low information, low engagement voters are what caused Trump to win. You can’t win those people with a “We’re not Trump” message, because for them that message is meaningless, they don’t have any party loyalties or even research who they vote for. They vote based on the message, and you’ve failed to deliver a good message for the past 10 years.
Also, learn the context of the original comic before embarrassing yourself in the replies.
Put the insane club away and stop harassing people with unintelligible BS. You heard something and you are throwing it at everyone, even if its irrelevant.
Yes people want primaries. Duh. Not having one last time was an epic fuck-up. Bernie being screwed over also fucked us all. Or does he love genocide because you dislike him too?
Of COURSE everyone you disagree with loves genocide, dont you???

Particularly with an unpopular candidate who doubled down on one particular unpopular policy. You know which one because you get really mad when people criticize it.

Sanders is on the record many times speaking out against genocide. Harris has yet to.
Yes him being anti-genocide was part of the point. Engaging in hyperbole, the idea was that if you disagree with or dislike something you say it loves genocide. That was derived from the many times Ive seen you write something along the lines of “you must support genocide” in a debate or argument where you disagreed with someone. Severely incendiary language is self defeating.
The centrist wing of the party is led by people who support genocide, blatantly out in the open without reservation or hesitation. Sticking with that is too reminiscent of trump supporters’ devotion to their idol no matter what he does.
I don’t usually use the term BlueMAGA because I think it’s silly, but I can definitely see where the people who use it are coming from.
Well, there’s a comic in the post, and a comic in the comment thread we’re replying under, so I just wanted to clarify which one you were referring to. The “Lucy and the Football” trope is commonly used as an analogy for a sucker who keeps falling for the same trick. In this case, it’s calling progressives who vote for Democrats suckers, implying progressives should not vote for Democrats. This helps Republicans win. Dipshit.
No, it’s not that. The lesson of the comic is that Lucy should stop fucking yoinking the ball every time he tries to kick it. LUCY is the one being an asshole. AKA, the DNC begs for votes from progressives, promising things to them, and then they proceed to not only NOT do what they promised, but also refuse to do their fucking job. Which is the bare fucking minimum people should ask of politicians, but according to people like YOU that’s too much to ask and will result in them fucking losing as if criticism is going to derail their chances. If criticism derailed politicians into losing, TRUMP WOULD NOT BE IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
You’re part of the “54% of Americans read and interpret text at a level below 6th grade” statistic.
Your bespoke interpretation of the Lucy comic is self-serving and almost certainly wrong. Charles Schulz is long dead, so we can’t know for sure, but I’d bet if we could ask him what the point of the strip was, it would be something along the lines of “It’s funny that Charlie keeps falling for the same trick” and not “The reader is supposed to tsk tsk and say ‘Lucy really should cut that out!’”
It’s called slapstick. Believe it or not, it’s supposed to be funny.

If progressives voted in the primaries we’d have policy representation in the party. But we mostly don’t because of takes like yours.
Or because the corporate wing of the DNC sabotages them at every turn.
Except for when they get elected, which is pretty often.
We were denied that opportunity in 2024.
Were you? I voted in my primaries. Everyone I know did too.
I voted in the primaries I had available to me. You got the genocidal shit you wanted without a primary.
“Everyone but me wants genocide”

Which comic do you think I’ve misinterpreted, cranky progressive?
The one that this meme format used, dipshit. Have you bothered to learn what happens on it and why it’s being used here?
