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
Voting. They were given the option to vote, but chose to be the type that "don't care much about politics"
Why would they bother? Who actually represents them? Both major parties are corporate captured.
One of them isnt trying install a theocracy.
No, they just stepped aside and profited from donations while it happened
Sure buddy, Dems might be nearly uselesss because of that, but they weren't actively trying to overthrow the goverment or kill democracy
No, they just stepped aside and profited from donations while it happened
Did you ever canvass for any alternative candidate or do you expect them to just rise out of the ether?
So replace the term “both parties” with “the only party” by categorically discarding all faith and worship in all political parties that have done absolutely nothing for anyone of the working class.
Then make a new party that’s even better.
That's what the Greens and PSL elected to do. They're the best way out that doesn't involve bloodshed.
And I'm sure their policies would introduce runoff voting for future elections; but as it stands, most voters are currently voting out of fear of "the other big party" - for which voting Green poses an extreme risk.
Which is a confidence game. The big parties only matter because people have been convinced that they matter. Once this illusion is broken, real progress can begin, but until it is broken the US will simply continue its vicious cycle into oblivion.
Besides, what chance to Dems have of winning at this rate anyway? What chance did they have leading up to this past election as they covered up Biden's dementia, enabled a genocide, and imposed a candidate of their choosing after denying the people actual democracy? Are they redeemable?
