[–] PiraHxCx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 10 months ago (9 children) And who was that blue button for? permalink fedilink source hideshow 9 child comments replies: [–] beefnugget@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago (1 child) I think the two buttons are a metaphor for two directions in the Democrats' campaign messaging 2024. The red button represents maintaining allegiance to Israel in the midst of an ongoing genocide. The blue button represents doing literally anything other than actively funding that genocide, using those billions of dollars to maybe fund healthcare, education, infrastructure, like literally anything else that would resonate with the American working class and garner more votes for the Democratic party. Just a guess tho. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] fort_burp@feddit.nl [S] 8 points 9 months ago Yea, that's right. permalink fedilink source parent [–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (5 children) This comic is designed under a sane ethical framework, which places responsibility for the success or failure of a party on the people who actually hold power within the party. It's told from the framework of party leaders, holding them accountable for their failures. It's punching up rather than punching down. What options were available at the ballot box, as we're not talking about voters, we're talking about leaders here. Don't try and cover up for corrupt leaders by blaming the voters. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] fort_burp@feddit.nl [S] 7 points 9 months ago Yea, that's right. To add: the argument that focuses on voters' individual behavior ignores the system within which they make their choices i.e. gerrymandering, private political parties, FPTP, winner takes all, Citizens United, Super PACs etc. It is a very low-IQ take to place the blame solely on the voters, and those unelected, unaccountable people who design the rules of the system would like everyone to have that take. permalink fedilink source parent [–] PiraHxCx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 9 months ago (3 children) This doesn't answer who is that Dem presidential candidate who isn't in Israel's pocket… perhaps Paperboy Love Prince? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] fort_burp@feddit.nl [S] 6 points 9 months ago (2 children) Cowbee permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 11 points 9 months ago (2 children) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] fort_burp@feddit.nl [S] 5 points 9 months ago lmao there he is <3 permalink fedilink source parent [–] orc_princess@lemmy.ml 5 points 9 months ago You'll run and you'll like it! /s permalink fedilink source parent load more comments (-1 replies) [–] Nioxic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 9 months ago a few democrats permalink fedilink source parent
