    Comic is too optimistic because here the fire was extinguished. In reality the fire has only gotten larger and is surrounded by all sorts of volatile elements.

      Maybe if you give enough asspats to people who sat by and refused to help put out the fire, next time will be different.

        Maybe if you keep ignoring voters you’ll get their votes someday.

          Maybe if you keep ignoring fascists taking over the country and enabling the genocide of as many minorities as possibly, you’ll attain a truly equitable and equal world someday.

          Or you’ll sit there with a smile as we’re thrown in camps and you get to stay smug and safe. Whichever.

            I’m not the one ignoring genocide, buddy. Next time tell the democrats that getting people’s votes is more important than sending billions in support of genocide. Sure though, people supporting genocide are totally not fascists just because the other party they love “reaching across the aisle” to support it harder.

              Really? Because last I checked, you spent the past few months peddling the exact kind of voter suppression “BOTHSIDES” nonsense and downplaying the very real risk of fascism as a Dem plot to bully people into voting. That’s either ignoring genocide, supporting genocide, or being the most self-defeating anti-genocide advocate imaginable.

              But it’s okay. You got to feel good about yourself, and that’s what counts. Fuck minorities. Fuck the oppressed. Only your feelings matter.

                If pointing out similarities between the parties is a voter suppression tactic, then democrats should try being different from the republicans instead of kissing dick cheney’s ass and screaming that they need to move even further to the right after every election defeat. You cannot shame me for criticizing support of genocide.

                  They are. But you either can’t see it, or are deliberately ignoring it because it lets you play purity tests.

                  Or are you going to tell me that this upcoming fascist regime is just business as usual, just like if the Dems won? Go ahead. Say it. We all know you’re thinking it.

                  You cannot shame me for criticizing support of genocide.

                  How about I shame you for supporting genocide, like you’ve done through your actions, and pretending your hands are clean?

                    I’m not the one sending billions in weapons to support the genocide and then telling voters “other guy worse” to justify it. You obviously think the democratic party strategy which so severely lost them the election is a brilliant strategy, so this discussion will obviously go nowhere. Have fun posting your memes about burning houses while defending arsonists (instead of being open to the suggestion of perhaps not doing arson) and feeling morally superior because the other party has more destructive arsonists.
