No one closes the hole.
If you close that hole, those two people would lose their job.
A jobless boat that swims is still above the water.
Because if the hole is closed what can we promise to fix as leverage to keep electing people who don't fix anything?
Some jobs do not seem to be about an income (staying above the water) but about exerting power in a hierarchy.
If this meme means the dems aren't actually fixing the problem of there being holes in the boat and continue to try to make the boat with holes work while the fascists drill more holes, then I think it's actually extremely accurate.
This is inaccurate. Democrats just won’t drill any more holes.
Seems pretty accurate. You just showed up and basically recited the "Dems aren't doing enough" line.
The lack of self awareness in some leftists boggles my mind. C’est la vie, we had a good run.
Nah. The accurate depiction would be like this:
Republican on top: "I drillled the hole!" Democrat beside him: "If you vote for me, I'll plug the hole!"
Voters and non-voters together at the bottom actively solving the problem. Non-voters: "I don't want to vote for this lazy ass" Voters: "Noooo, please vote, or else Republican will drill more holes!"
(BTW I think you should vote to prevent more holes from being drilled. But Democrats don't do enough. Biden was a president for almost a whole term now. Did he ensure basic human rights for trans people and trans kids specifically nationwide? Did he ensure basic human rights of pregnant women nationwide? Did he ensure the safety of doctors performing reproductive care? Did he penalize Israel for committing genocide? Did he enforce proper accountability for police discriminating against minorities (or, in that case, for any wrongdoings)? Doesn't look like it to me. He did cap insulin prices for some, which is nice and a step in the right direction, but yeah, far from enough)
This entire comic is just a reiteration of the same divisive rhetoric that has long since kept us from consistently making positive change. The battle has always been the people vs the ruling class, and the best way to distract people from that has always been to focus one subset of the people against another subset of the people.
If you wanted an accurate comic, you'd need republicans and democrats together on a nearby megayacht shooting holes into the boat occupied by the entire American working class. Maybe republicans are shooting the majority of the holes, but the idea that the democrats are actually baling water is ridiculous.
At best democrats are like the cops that stand by while their coworker murders an innocent civilian, then stay quiet during the subsequent "internal investigation." Sure, you should use your voting power to ensure they get in power over their gun-crazy friends, but don't for a second believe real positive change will happen until we come together as an entire working class and force it to.
Lets be honest the dems have drilled a few holes of their own. Just not as big or as many as the republicans.
To their credit some of the dems are also bailing water and the repubs are in the corner playing with matches.
No one wants to drill holes anymore
Trump would be on the boat yelling DRILL BABY DRILL.
We’ve enacted a plan to reduce the drilling of holes by 30% over the next 10 years. Give us your next paycheck to help get us there!
Not quite. They tend to look at republicans and drill the same number of holes.
When do we throw the hole driller overboard? Anyone not willing to do that does not have my support.
I dont want to reach across the aisle and only drill small holes.
If you stop bailing you die
The hole driller needs his own boat.
Why would someone not just simply insert their penis into the hole?
Republicans love a good gloryhole. Maybe if this was in an airport bathroom…
Sadly the hole isn't on some little boy or their cousin so the Republicans won't stick their dicks in it
Look, at some point the democratic party can take some damn responsibility for running a candidate that has been losing to generic democrats in recent polling. Instead of blaming the voter for voting third party, blame the party for not letting us choose anyone else. If Biden loses, it will be soely the fault of him and the party, not the voter. It's definitely a better option than the other primary party, but you can only run on the platform "we're not them" for so long. No shame in voting for third party and your conscious.
That's a pretty small boat. The other passengers had to have noticed him drilling the hole.
Why did none of them stop him?
Now this sub's centrists are gonna call me the nonvoter in this comic, but I vote every chance I get. What they really don't like is criticism from their left and only their left.
Dems are constantly shifting rightward at the same time as they give us small gains. Is Biden furiously bailing water over Israel committing genocide or did he put his fingers in his ears and shout LALALALALALALALALA for five months?
Found the person pouring water into the boat.
We're gonna need a bigger Noah
Perhaps you know, two bigger Noahs?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: somebody buy that man a pump
We gave them money to buy a pump. They spent it on advertising bragging about the buckets.
Now add another boat that was never waterproof to begin and is disintegrating into pieces filled with people calling for nuking the main boat in the image.
That's the tankie boat.
The democrats would be like "vote for us and we'll fix the hole" and then not fix the hole just so they can wait 4 years and be like "vote for us and we'll fix the hole for real" while meanwhile Russia supplies the republicans with more drills to drill more holes with while they complain about how long it's going to take to get home so they can each beat their wives.
Did you pay attention to the last four years at all???
Lemmy is so biased lol. Good guys vs bad guys right? Much delusion.
