As we get more towards the proper midterm election season we'll inevitably start seeing more of this 'both-sides/hopeless' stuff that does little other than to help suppress the vote...

That's why the Mamdani victory is inspiring. More progressive blood in the DNC will one day remove the block, and hopefully help push that party further left.

America's electoral system needs some serious reform, Like compulsory voting for all citizens with a preferential (ranked choice) voting system. This would give a chance for independents and minor parties to enter government and allow for more options and choices. But America will NEVER do that, because both parties would lose power and be forced to address all the issues they've been sweeping under the rug for decades. Good luck out there, Americans... You're going to need it.

Look out for the trap! Now that election season is coming up, the billionaire class will be trying to trick the Democrats into fucking up and losing votes so that Trump can stay president. Don't fall for the propaganda!

We need to shame establishment democrats out of office the same way the alt right shamed "cuckservatives" out...

A single drop of dimethyl mercury is enough to take care of a politician and it's easily absorbed though the skin.

If the left can't beat Democrats, how the hell do you think they will beat Republicans?

Could be generalized for non-US-centric politics with liberals preventing movement to the left and fascists moving everything right

Democrats aren't left. They are also party of wealth, not labour. Democrats are plain right, Rebublicans are fascist right.

Change the caption on the gears, and instead of pointing fingers at political parties, make it **"We may or may not vote"** on the left, then **"Definitely not voting"** on the right. If you neglect elections and there's a seesaw every two years, sure, that's **exactly** what happens. But god forbid, to generate the requires electoral/political inertia for long-term change would require you people to... gasp!... make a tiny amount of effort one day a year. And we can't have that, now can we?

Ah, but the thing you're missing is that the more Mamdanis get elected, the more pressure there will be within the Democratic party to change.
