Same comic, just change the little guy to "Socialism 2024" and the two big guys to "DNC & Biden"

Oh look, more both sides trash slapped on top of someone else's work. Lazy fucks can't even propagandize properly.
It's not really propaganda when it's true, at least not in the negative sense of "false manipulative information." If it wasn't true we'd already have it. Republicans don't have complete control everywhere, and there are states where Democrats have complete control and they don't do it because corporations have complete control over most Democrats.
"We" have like a handful of actual progressives in the entirety of our government, state or otherwise.

Let's break that shit up!
Approval voting and proportional representation! So long as we have single-seat elections using choose-one voting, we'll be stuck with two parties.
I'm so glad to see more people around here realizing this.

The democrats have been trying to raise minimum wage for idk 15 years now, they just haven't been given a functional enough majority to make it happen at the national level, though they have absolutely done so at the state level. I think your complaint might be misdirected, and could better apply to the fundamental structure of our bicameral legislature, and especially at the filibuster rule that is getting increasingly unpopular with senators themselves. When the filibuster is gone sometime in the next 6 years I expect, you will see a noticeably more functional senate.
I am thoroughly confused as to why this comment is getting downvotes. It corrects the misinterpretation of the poster in a polite and civilized manner, while bringing forth interesting discussion as to what the future may hold and possible solutions to our country’s predicament.
