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.

Yes, their platform was weak. But you seriously thought a fascist dictatorship was an acceptable alternative? (lemmy.nz)

If you're working 2-3 jobs and upwards of 100 hours a week, none of it will matter to you. All you know is you have to struggle to live and no one we elect will change it.

And this sense of superiority and refusal to understand or empathize is why hundreds of millions don't listen to you.

Lol, you don't know me, or that I've literally been there.

And this sense of superiority and refusal to understand or empathize is why hundreds of millions don't listen to you.

Pot and kettle friend.

Do you even know what that life is like? Working yourself to the bone to feed your family and still staring down the barrel of an election that you tangentially know will harm you in some way?

I've done 80hr weeks for years, and it fucking sucks. Check your assumptions, because this sense of superiority is why I ignore people like you. I've been there, but I still made the time when I had to with shit like absentee voting. Not everyone has that ability, but don't pretend like that takes away their agency, even if they have little energy to put to it

I'm not judging you. (And I should have made that more clear. I apologize.)

I'm judging the sentiment, and until Democrats learn to actually speak to workers, they're going to lose elections.
