The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).

If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yes, their platform was weak. But you seriously thought a fascist dictatorship was an acceptable alternative? (lemmy.nz)

I'm pretty sure she vowed to not be silent on Gaza, and then didn't really bring it up until 2? days before the election? Even if she said somewhere about ceasefire she clearly didn't mean it.

The president and I are working around the clock every day to get that ceasefire deal done

- Kamala Harris

now is the time to get a ceasefire deal and get the hostage deal done.

- Kamala Harris

We’re not going to stop in terms of putting that pressure on Israel and in the region including Arab leaders

- Kamala Harris

it is time for this war to end and end in a way where Israel is secure, all the hostages are released, the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can exercise their right to freedom, dignity and self-determination.

- Kamala Harris

My bad. I guess she mentioned it more than twice.

But in my defense I don't think I need to remember all the empty words. You're working with the president around the clock for a ceasefire and the outcome is an 8 billion military aid package for Israel and further escalations by Isreal? She can say all the thoughts and prayers she wants but it doesn't change that the administration she's a part of made no progress on a ceasefire.

If you think she would've done a ceasefire after being elected you're huffing pure copium. If a ceasefire was on the card the ceasefire would've happened already . You don't run on "I know our party is currently in office and can pressure for a ceasefire and we can't or won't do anything, however if you elect me then next year we'll do something."

Just look at the rally from where the first 2 quotes are from. They're actually part of the same quote and I'll add the quote in full.

I have been clear: now is the time to get a cease-fire deal and get the hostage deal done. Now is the time, and the president and I are working around the clock every day to get that cease-fire deal done and bring the hostages home. So, I respect your voices, but we are here to now talk about this race in 2024.

Translation. We hear you but we don't want to address it.
