There are only a few legitimate swing states, votes outside swing states don't matter
In no swing state did third party votes supercede the difference between Kamala and Trump votes. Ie, even if every third party voter, Libertarians included, voted Kamala, she still would've lost.
Even under the Democrats, "No Rights" is still the party platform.
Leftists have always supported revolution as the only legitimate means of enacting change, while liberals aid in the constant rightward spiral. Voting is an incredibly small level of political activism, organizing is far more effective.
The DNC were enacting a genocide of Palestinians.

True
This comic is also directed to nonvoters. If as many people voted for Kamala as did Biden, she would have won.
Ask women, gay people, trans people, protesters, and refugees about that one bud
Yeah, I can tell how much more effective leftist organizing is compared to voting by motions around
Wrong for starters, and please tell me how Palestinians are better off under Trump's "have Israel kill everyone so we can build a resort, and lock up anyone who protests" plan?

Yep!
Communists did not create the wave of non-voters. To begin with, voter apathy is driven by the fact that the overwhelming majority feels the government, regardless of party, does not represent their best interests.
I'm in that category! That's how I feel.
You can feel free to join the Leftists actively organizing and help make the struggle easier! Throughout history, it has only been through organized struggle that the will of the people gets represented when in opposition to ruling class interests.
I am 100% correct here. The DNC shipped mountains of bombs to Israel to obliterate civilians and national liberation groups, including aid workers. Trump's position, though less apologetic, is the same: give Israel whatever it needs in order for it to perpetuate its existence as the equivalent of a US aircraft carrier in the Middle East so that the US can exert hard pressure on geopolitical adversaries in the region.
