    We can’t do anything about the boat sinking gun, or try and take it away from the boat sinker, because that would be against good decorum. Don’t worry though, we’ve thrown that guy who called the boat sinker a fuckhead off the boat. We have to take the high road and follow the rules or who knows what the boat sinker will do next. We’ll calmly convince them to lower the amount of holes they put in the boat while cmpromising by understanding that some of those holes were needed.

    Vote for us, and we’ll only put a few holes in the boat

      Damn you people who put Trump into presidency are so mad that we’re mad at you for putting Trump into the presidency. Accept the fact that part of the reason we’re in this situation is you letting the perfect be the enemy of the good and depressed voter turnout with your whining.

        “Heavy handed line” AKA how the sane rest of the world sees US politics. You’re stuck in an endless game of good cop/bad cop and it’s so obvious to everyone else that we’re all flabbergasted at those who can’t see it. US propaganda is strong.

            I miss Obama.

            We got the same economic impoverishment, endless money for cops and war (we were at war with 7 countries at once), civil liberties violations by cops, and he sprinkled in the kill list for flavor. It was inspiring watching Occupy and Ferguson protesters get the shit beaten out of them.

            …and the speeches were glorious. The man had the balls to walk into Flint and tell the people there that the water was okay. Just indescribably awesome don’t-give-a-fuckedness.

                I’ve never fully understood the deification of Barack Obama, apart from him being the first black president.

                He was and is a motherfucker, just one who is exceedingly well-spoken and intelligent, which makes his political choices all the more insidious.

                  Even highly intelligent people make mistakes and I prefer to believe he went into it with better intentions and capitulated too much to the powers that be and was eventually worn down.

                  Idk tho, hard to believe that is true with what he’s done since leaving the presidency, strong arming Biden in and mainly trying to get book/speaking/podcast deals.

        What are you gonna do, vote for the guy who wants to put 10 holes in the boat? No, you have to vote for me, I will only put 9 more holes in the boat.

        Don’t try to take away my gun or tell me to stop putting holes in the boat. What do you want Trump to win?

        they didn’t patch the previous holes fast enough!

        They didn’t patch the holes at all, which is why so many voted for the other party or opted not to miss a badly-needed day’s pay and didn’t vote at all.

            The convenience to vote or lack thereof depends solely on your local and state jurisdictions. No blanket statements can be made.

                That depends on where you live and how artificially inconvenient voting has been made on top of the complexities of one’s personal life to begin with.

                But, more importantly, if you lived through the last eight years and you’re a wage earner, you know with certainty that voting doesn’t make any material change in your life, so you’re probably not going to miss out on a day’s pay in order to vote for people that you know definitively do not care if you or your family starve.

        There’s something in particular about their half assed art style and ham-fisted attempts at comedy that I find particularly annoying.

        And then people lap it up, not because there’s any humour in their content, but because it aligns with their views.

          Pizzacake is capable of communicating complex ideas using maybe four panels, minimal dialogue, and does not rely on cheap gimmicks.

          They are one of the most talented cartoonists on the contemporary scene.

          I understand their style isn’t your taste, but Pizzacake has earned every bit of praise & respect they get, not just because people are sheeple who like anything they agree with.

                Oh, I get it, I said so in my first comment. People post them because her comics share their views, not because there is any humour in them.

                Failing to understand that doing so here is like standing up in church and telling someone you’re a big fan of Jesus.

                  There are LOTS of cartoonists out there I will happily tear into for being lazy &/or lame (I’m going to refrain), but not Pizzacake, they’re legit.

Since you have certainty on who or what someone is, you dont need to engage with someone else. Just stay under the rock and judge. I am pretty sure that has worked wonders for you so far.

      That was because she didn’t like the edits they were making to her comics. Whether or not the path she took was correct is for others to argue about, that’s just simply what happened.
