I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but both sides have their defenders and haters making pictures, toons, caricatures etc like this of their opponent, they always have. But it so happens that this particular artist doesn't like Trump or Biden (same as me).
Trump is worse, of course, but you are getting mainly downvotes because this is basically true and there is no counterargument that doesn't depend on the fact that American politics is broken. The comic isn't totally right (e.g. project 2025 is not Biden's plan) but it's too close for comfort for some people.
Think about the response if Trump was funding a genocide and protesters were being arrested, silenced and vilified under his watch. Every single comment section would be flooded with people explaining how this is a key pillar of fascism.
But it's all fine and people should grin and bear it because the bar is so fucking low you're more likely to stub your toe on it than fail to clear it.
Who said all is fine and people should grin and bear it? Last I checked, there were several protests happening at universities across the country.
One thing that I can mention as my experience… as a 40 year old, I was the youngest person at the local Democratic Party meeting last time there was one…
I wasn’t there in support of what’s going on, I was there to attempt to influence the party. I’ve been trying to convince them that the way to gain more votes is actually shifting further left.
My takeaways from that experience…
1.) People in their 20’s should be showing up to the meetings and shifting the party left, but they’re not.
2.) The party is only going to listen to people that do show up… which seems like the average age was probably 65.
Pretty fucking depressing that the anti fascism vote is also the keep supporting genocide vote. It's a trolley problem but one track only has foreigners tied to it so we're supposed to cheer for that option I guess
One track has Palestinians tied to it, the other track has more Palestinians tied to it, Ukrainians and probably others tied to it, AND American minorities by the bushel.
If you're looking for a point in history when there wasn't someone getting hit by the trolley, you'll be looking a while. We have to find the choice that is most achievable and least damaging.
Man, this last few dozen presidential voting cycles have been shittier and shittier every 4 years.
It's no wonder people aren't interested in voting, of course if they were some of these problems would sort themselves out... regardless, it's hard to encourage people to vote when you're voting against a shit sandwich and a literal piece of shit.
I will never vote for Joe Biden again. That decision was made many years ago and has nothing to do with his vile actions over the past few years.
If you feel like maybe you don’t wanna vote for Biden either, because he’s a genocidare or because he gave up on getting roe back or because he literally just came out and said the campus protests are wrong and he won’t change his mind, join me and cast a ballot for PSL at the presidential level instead.
Send a clear message that when the democrats run genocide Joe they won’t get your vote.
And more importantly, go get chummy with your neighbors. Make sure you have a few weeks worth of food in the pantry, get your finances straightened out, stay hydrated and keep some water in rotation.
No one knows what we’re facing in the future, but you can be a stabilizing force for yourself and those around you no matter what it is.
At this point, I honestly doubt Biden will do anything to stop this from happening anyways. I have 0 confidence he will do what needs to be done to protect trans people.
If you cared about that you’d be pressuring the democrats to run someone else.
If you believed it was a real threat you wouldn’t be trying to shame and browbeat people into casting a ballot for the democrats vile running dog and preparing to endure a time of upheaval instead.
