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
I don't think everyone being forced to elect would yield better results.
As opposed to FPTP, gerrymandering, multi-layer representative cutoffs, regional vote weight balancing, or the D'Hondt method?
What's your basis to think that?
There's democracies that are not the USA, you know
Indeed. I highly encourage everyone to learn about how "democratic" they actually are.
You're gonna have to explain that if you want it to mean anything
Sure:
Expression of agreement with the previous comment.
My wish is to improve the knowledge of the reader and anyone else...
...about the different political systems which get called "democracies" by different countries around the world, and how their practical applications differ from the idealized concept of "democracy".
Hilarious.
I'm not american and know about half of those words.
I'm not USA-n either, so only most of those apply to the flavor of "democracy" I get. It's still a good exercise to know about the options.
