A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

This comic isn’t saying anything beyond the DNC tricks voters.

The comic is right. The DNC does trick voters. They should stop.

That sentiment makes people not vote.

Yeah, it's not the betrayal, it's the people who aren't happy with it.

But why don't you guys understand this is harmful not helpful.

This isn't criticism, there is no healthy take away to consider. It is blanket propaganda with a goal that OP posts on here from reddit using a bot.

Why don't you understand that the comic isn't the problem instead of the behavior it correctly describes?

This isn’t criticism, there is no healthy take away to consider.

The takeaway that you don't want to listen to is "stop betraying your voters."

The comic is literally the same propaganda crap I've seen since 2015.

That isn't the takeaway lol. The takeaway to the intended audience is "Dem bad" I literally watched this sink the last election. Are you taking crazy pills??

Centrists dismiss all criticism as propaganda.

How do you differ propaganda and criticism?

I'd say criticism is eye opening, insightful, educates you and even probably presents solutions.

You're right. This post definitely offers solutions 🙄

It's got a silly message a child can interpret and walk away. It encapsulates a complex concept into a simple "Dem bad" motive. And literally read the comments, people are in here talking about not supporting the party. Don't vote for them. They won't help anyway.

OP literally posts this from reddit using a bot. He isn't filtering the media, he doesn't even care he's just sending content here.

On top of that all. This criticism has been said for decades probably even longer. Nothing fresh here. Nothing worthy of thought.

It's fucking propaganda.

If the party wants credibility, it should start being credible. There's the solution you're refusing to listen to.

Affordable care act, wallstreet reforms, created both the department of education and energy, same sex/interracial marriage protections, multiple attempts at drug repricing/negotiations, multiple climate investments, reproductive rights along with saving the economy twice.

Maybe you should be more educated.

Affordable care act

Was 15 years ago and hasn't been improved since. And started out as a Heritage Foundation policy.

wallstreet reforms

Oh thank god wall street isn't out of control.

created both the department of education and energy,

1979 and 1977 respectively. Come on. Are you gonna give current democrats credit for the New Deal as well?

same sex/interracial marriage protections

Were put in place by the courts and will likely be repealed by same since democrats like Manchin keep voting to approve justices like Kavanaugh and Barrett.

multiple attempts at drug repricing/negotiations

You don't get credit for pretending to try.

multiple climate investments

Biden bragged about record oil production.

reproductive rights

Democrats refused to do away with the filibuster to protect Roe. When it died, they leapt into action within minutes and sent out fundraising texts asking for $15.

saving the economy twice.

the first time, they bailed out banks and there were no consequences for defrauding entire generations. The second time, they told people who couldn't afford food that the economy was doing great because billionaires were doing great.

Maybe you should be more educated.

You should stop conflating contentment with education.

Thanks for proving my point about exactly how leftists are never satisfied.

Completely neglected the space in between. The repeals of the Dodd-Frank act. Attacks on Obamacare. Stacking court systems. Election fraud.

Those mean nothing. We won't even discuss how difficult it must be to get an inch especially with such a pathetic pants pissing base such as yourself who only wants to kick sand and cry.

Satisfaction is stagnation at best.

We won’t even discuss how difficult it must be to get an inch especially with such a pathetic pants pissing base such as yourself who only wants to kick sand and cry.

The contempt for the base is already evident, but it's nice to see it spelled out. If you had less of it, maybe the contempt wouldn't be mutual.

You're the same personality who cries about Biden's gas prices but don't have shit to say now.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I didn't cry about Biden's gas prices. I griped that he bragged about record oil production. You know, the opposite of that.

Centrists don't listen because it's beneath them.
