What plan was that? "Vote harder?"
Yeah, I also dislike plans that simply go, "trust me, bro."
The plan was that Harris would win the election and Trump wouldn't be president. That's resisting fascism, by denying it supreme executive power.
The voters said no thanks.
Bullshit. It does absolutely nothing except put a Dem in the White House for another four years and does absolutely nothing about all the fascism.
Nothing.
That's not a plan, that's business as usual.
Well okay, if you think there's no difference between a Harris presidency and a fascist dictatorship, then this comic is about you. Congratulations, you've appeared in a work of (badly drawn) art.
Do you really think Harris' platform was all that liberal?
Did you listen to her DNC speech, where she insisted on having the strongest military in America's history, not mentioning Palestinians plight in Gaza and the West Bank, and promising to have a Republican in her cabinet?
Harris actively chased after the right and their voting base right up to election day. Democrats did nothing to counter Trump. If they had, they would have actually followed through on the Tim Walz pick and promulgated actual, progressive policies to win over the self-interest of their base.
Harris using a stick to get her base to vote was not enough. People need carrots. Her campaign was utter shit man.
I also agree she was more centrist than I prefer, but I don’t understand people unhappy she’s not further left, choosing to take a hard right and flying off the deep end. This is not like Columbus thinking the world is a sphere so you can head right to get left. Or maybe it is somehow, either way Haitians came out the worst
So you literally assumed business as usual could stop fascism?
I suggest you wake up. Fast.
No. We weren't talking about stopping fascism, we were talking about resisting fascism. You've changed the subject to a much bigger problem and assumed drag wouldn't notice your switcheroo.
So the Democratic Party never shared their plan of stopping or resisting fascism with you?
Have you asked your representative when they plan on doing so?
No, they had a plan to resist fascism, drag already told it to you. They didn't have a plan to stop fascism, that's a different conversation in which drag agrees with you. But drag thinks resisting fascism is a good enough thing to vote for. We don't need a perfect outcome in order to go and do something good.
Again. What fucking plan? "Vote harder?"
I don't know what is more disturbing - Trump winning, or you liberals, despite watching your undeserving holy cows betray you for the umpteenth time, somehow still refusing to acknowledge that fascism is a thing you might actually have to do something about.
