Remember folks, the company reps you interact with are generally not the ones making the rules they are paid to abide by. They’re working for a living, just like us.

With that, calling this an “act of terrorism” is an incredulous overreaction that just goes to show how badly they’re shitting their pants right now.

Because America is not a functional democracy but rather an oligarchy driven by the will of the elite.

The only time I seem to read this comic is when I’m on the toilet so… Mission accomplished!

I still wouldn’t trust either handle. People are assholes.

Bruh you burn that shit the moment you’re in the clear. Even your average armchair revolutionary knows that.

Personally, I think the fact that people believe they need to go to college as a prerequisite to success is part of the problem.

Concerning? To whom? The people who profit massively off of students, many of which are going deep into debt?

That would be so incredibly based. Jesus returns, and rather than preaching to anyone he shoots a CEO of an evil company and rides off into the sunset.

Season two lands next year!

My grandpa quit smoking before I was born but all through my childhood I remember my grandparents house having a very distinct smell and I grew fond and nostalgic about it. I later learned what the smell was and I still kinda like it.

Wow, super disappointed to see some of these high profile names.

Watch this be the catalyst for stricter gun control

I think you’re right and that’s ultimately why I voted for Harris but as your original point says either apathy or ignorance amongst many other Americans has grown to the extent that they are willing to risk declining into fascism.

Are we going to change that by telling them to stop being apathetic/ignorant and that fascism is bad? Because that seems to have been the primary strategy the Dems have run over the last decade and the only time it’s worked for them was when the effects of Trump’s incompetence was unavoidably present in the minds of Americans. I’d rather we not depend on another catastrophe to win the next election, assuming we will have one.

The Democrats used to promise real change and progress, but they’ve only proven themselves to be the party of stagnation in recent memory. Nowadays they don’t even try to inspire their base, but rather scare them into submission with the threat of Trumpism.

Sure it’s better than the rapid decline into chaos that the order party is trending towards but this pattern of “a couple careful steps forward then a dozen strides sprinting backwards” isn’t working for Americans. Many of us have lost faith in the system because the system doesn’t work for us. What’s worse is that when we get a candidate who speaks to us, the Democratic establishment shuts them down with more efficacy than they ever seem to direct towards any of the Right’s regressive politics.

While I still fall in line and vote for somebody who I am not excited or inspired by in a seemingly futile effort to hold the line, many others have given up because their struggles aren’t being addressed or even acknowledged. You can yell at them and criticize them until you’re blue in the face but I can guarantee you they’re either so tuned out that they’ll never hear it or so dug into their own political ideals that they won’t receive it.

If you want their vote, you’re going to have to earn it.

Judging by the foliage I’d guess Thailand over the US

The seeds of apathy were sowed a decade ago when they stopped fighting for what their voters actually wanted and instead ran solely on being the better alternative to an authoritarian dick bag for simply being establishment politicians. Those seeds have taken root and sprouted now that voters have seen the Dems’ are incapable of getting over their own hubris.

It’s almost like our government only really functions to bail out rich/well-connected fuck ups. What’s new?

There is a game called Foxhole that is basically the premise of this meme. The gameplay isn’t glamorous, the controls are clunky, and half the time you die before you can do anything meaningful. And yet, something keeps bringing me back to it.

If I touch an ant I can certainly smell it on my finger but I wouldn’t be able to detect an ant in the room with me

Democrats: “Understood. We must try harder to win over the center-right.”
