Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I mean the part that no one really wants to confront is that there is no alternative with a viable chance. The blue moderate has been suffocating all other options for ages and now that it's come to this, there's nothing waiting in the wings to rely on.
That's because blue moderates are far more highly palatable to the majority of Americans than hard leftists. The hard thing to confront is that despite how it feels on Lemmy you guys aren't a voting bloc worth pursuing.
The moderate Dem voters would have still turned out for Sanders in the general. Fuck this timeline and fuck the defenders of those who put us on it.
Really?
So the reason they tried to start a national movement to vote Republican when it was Obama...
That wasn't the progressive policy he was campaigning on?
I thought that's what it was, if not, why do you think a bunch of boomer "moderates" just could stomach voting for Barrak Obama?
What charestic besides policy stances do you think made them go Republican, assuming you're right they'd have voted for Bernie.
The truth is, if Bernie was the candidate we wouldn't have needed them, just like we didn't need them for Obama
