    Mate, someone criticizing DNC candidates, even heavily, doesn’t stop them for voting for them if it comes to it. Your brain is so underdeveloped that you see everything in black and white despite likely being 30+. Every American progressive I know voted for Kamala, and that also included all of their progressive friends AND organizations that they belonged to. The ones who didn’t turn out were LIBERALS that thought it was a slam dunk, and also there’s a chance the election was stolen anyways, so it wouldn’t have mattered in that case.

    Anyway, people are already voting progressives into the DNC tickets on every primary for the house and senate, so your third party blaming horseshit doesn’t work on me. The amount of third party voters doesn’t matter. Even if every single one in the 2024 election voted Kamala instead she would’ve still lost.

    We’re gonna colonize your party and there is nothing you can do about it, fossil.

      Mate, criticizing Democratic candidate, even lightly, absolutely prevents people from voting for them. You’re lying to yourself and everyone else if you think otherwise.

      God I hope not, you fascists already took over the Republican party.

        Then the party should fucking die or live with the fact that you can’t force people into a religion, which would be the more appropriate term for an uncriticizeable group of political leaders than a party.

        Do you actually for real believe that’s how politics works? Because if you do that’s honestly sad as shit. Why would you support a group so weak that the most basic criticism of them makes them fail? If criticism is all it takes, why is the Republican Party still in charge?

        Hint: if your answer requires one group of people being entirely stupid or evil to make your world view work, it it’s probably an oversimplified view of the world.

        LMAO then ya’ll are doomed. If your candidates fold like a napkin any time they’re criticized you might as well just move to Europe. You’re in a cult. Millions of people have criticized GOP candidates and they still win elections. Taking criticism shoud be an important part of being a candidate, and if any criticism towards you makes you lose you were always weak.

          I love that your assumption about someone criticizing fascist propaganda is that they’re a centrist Democrat, like progressives are onboard with voter suppression. You fascists have weird world view.

            This comic isn’t about telling people to not vote, you unholy, neanderthal headed clown. The original context of the comic is Lucy yanking the ball away every time Charlie Brown tries to kick it. It’s about people voting for them over and over, and gaining nothing but inaction and lies from it. Charlie shouldn’t stop kicking the ball. LUCY should stop being a manipulative dickhead. It means the DNC shoud stop trying to gain votes by being a manipulative piece of shit, and instead LISTEN TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

            You are literally a live fucking example of the “54% of americans have reading comprehension below a 6th grade level” statistic. You useless, utter buffoon.

              That’s the #1 most insane crash out I’ve read this year so far. Idk if that was worth it for you to deal with but…wonderfully navigated. I’ve never seen someone so fast and loose with fascism accusations.

        How convenient for the genocide wing that anyone who says anything even remotely untoward about netanyahu’s pets supports trump.

            Centrist democrats refused to stop selling weapons that they knew were being used to commit genocide. They remained steadfast on this one issue while buckling on so many others.

            The characterization is accurate, even if it bothers you to see it.

              You are characterizing a group as a monolith. Thats like saying all liberals have blue hair and want your kids to be gay. Its entirely untrue, its just a lie you tell yourself to try to feel better than who you are considering an outgroup- Centrist democrats. Put away the beatstick Jim Crow, we know how you feel.

                    One did it just a couple hours ago or so. It’s one of a stack of thought-terminating cliches centrists use when confronted with the actions they should abandon their wing of the party over. Trumpers have their own stack that they use for the same purpose, but you don’t tend to see them on lemmy.

                    Just scroll through the thread and look.

              “Centrist democrats are selling guns -” What percentage of centrist democrats have the ability to stop or facilitate a greater degree of human-destruction objects being sold? Is Mrs. Cookie, a fabricated centrist democrat, able to sell weaponry herself? How do you know how she feels on that specific topic? She’s a centrist democrat so she must be pro-genocide! Some “democrats” in congress arent COMPLETELY MONOLITHICALLY representative of everyone who voted for them. Or do you agree with every single thing your representative says or does?

                The leaders of their wing of the party do. Centrists don’t criticize. They don’t vote for better candidates in the primaries. They approve.

                  Ahh so thats what you mean- Indifferent people and idiots. You could say something more along the lines of “Indifference has led to genocide over and over. Harris did not oppose a genocide, relying on that indifference. Dont be indifferent.” Its longer than “you support genocide”, but its nicer and gets the same basic point across. “Dont support genocide” is also an option, attacking the people whos’ minds you want to change/could change isnt productive.

                    Harris’ continuation of Biden’s support for genocide inspired indifference in an electorate already jaded by Biden’s broken campaign promises. The gaslighting about the economy didn’t help either.
