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).

They're scared... He disrupts the status quo...
cool sign bro
Each time I see it I’m never 100% on board
Duped = it’s intentional?
“Never attribute to malice […]”
Yes, it is intentional. And the "never attribute to malice what you can attribute to incompetence" trope is clearly wrong in the context of politicians.
When they do these things they know what they are doing and who they are doing it for. Imagine an engineer would have designed 10 generations of exploding phones. Would you say it is just incompetence after the third one? So why give politicians the slack to always be "incompetent" in the same way over and over again that just so happens to defend the interests of the oligarchy against the normal people?

This is some real conspiracy theory thinking. This entire article boils down to "I have figured out this secret thing that nobody else, not even the former president or candidates of the Democratic party know about!" It's all a wild supposition with zero backing evidence, just this one person's shower thought being passed off as fact.
Please don't buy into this level of lizard-people nonsense. It's not helpful for anyone.
Well the former president of the united states doesn't know that Israel is bad either, so knowing something he doesn't know isn't very hard.
So we turn it so far right it will end up left
I wish horseshoe theory was real. We can go even farther right than this, to literal kingdoms. Countries we often describe as going "too far left" became more hierarchical.
The horseshoe is absolutely real. Social democracy (like the stuff that candidate proposes) is on the middle, and both sides go out into a corrupt authoritarian government where the elites own everything.
I'd say it's more of a fact that there is no single axis political spectrum, and communists are not "further to the left" from democratic socialists, but just more towards authoritarianism.
