That is not what it is implying at all. It's essentially showing the DNC trying to gain votes by saying something clearly outlandish and extremely manipulative instead of doing the common sense thing of actually listening to the voters, which is the context of the original comic. No wonder America is cooked, more than half of ya'll read below a 6th grade level and you clearly demonstrated it live.

Can you give me an example of a currently-running democratic candidate for national office that is saying what you’re claiming they’re saying?

Any time candidates blame the voters. Which has happened a good amount of times just this year.

The comic context is that Charlie (the boy) is trying to kick the ball but Lucy keeps yanking the ball away just to be an asshole. Charlie shouldn't stop trying to kick the ball - it's LUCY who needs to stop being a fucking dick.

Charlie Brown should kick the living dung out of Lucy.

Rather, kick her and then run the ball himself! (aka primarying every corporate democrat)

“No” would have been a shorter response.

And an incorrect one, so I didn't say it.
