Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- 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).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- 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.

MODERATORS
Yes, the lesser evil lost to the greater one again, and they and their diehard supporters insist on learning nothing.
Democrats lost worse on 2024 than Republicans did 2020. We judge Republicans for supporting their party after Trump effectively commandeered it but we don't hold ourselves to the same standard when the Democratic party has been shown to be an absolute and abject failure. Maybe it's time we look in the mirror. We gave Democrats three chances, 2016, 2020, and 2024 and they failed to deliver every time. We need to hold ourselves to the same standards we hold Republicans and start thinking about alternatives.

this voting system is stupid as f@%k though: as a voter, you should be able to sort your candidates as per your preference, not chose pick one and only one

More accurately, it's the potential voters sitting at home not voting that did it. Republican-leaning people got out and voted, as they always do.

I mean okay. That's kind of not how people work. You can hate it, but it's just not how people work. I thought y'all had learned that by now.
RCV
Eh.
We’ve had it since 1919 in Australia, yet we still have the same two parties right and righter.
RCV alone is not the answer.
You’re right. Most people will still vote for the primary candidates, but in an election like this past one where we could have had Harris and a white man on the Dem ticket, RCV could have swung the vote blue.
And no, alone it will not fix the problems, but it’s a key change. Yall have around 20% of offices held by third party or independent. US has none or close to none.

I won't vote for who supports genocide. Trump may not be better in this regard but at least I won't reward to those who already aided in it. Next time they should learn to do better.
You are complicit. You're not above this.
There won't be a next time. Congratulations, shit stain. You get to pay yourself on the back for your "morals" while the country burns to the ground.
I say "morals" because fucking obviously the moral thing to do is prevent Nazi Germany 2.0 from happening. But no. You get to pretend like you're a good person. But you're not. You let fascists take control and countless people will die at the hand of non-voters like you. You and everyone like you are deplorable in every sense of the word and you have no right to claim moral superiority.
Well, the really morally superior thing would be to vote for Jill Stein (or another anti-genocide candidate). Sitting out the election is abdicating responsibility.

Me: About to buy my first home.
Also me: Trump is going to be president??? Fuuuuuuck. May as well just light this big pile of money on fire!
Aw hell......doesn't matter anyways. Pennies don't melt......
Not only pennies do melt, they are more valuable once molten. It's just illegal to do it.
..................well shit. I spent my teenage years selling weed. I didn't know I could make money burning things!
Ones from 1982 and earlier are much more valuable when melted down.
