There's a really racist dude who made a comic book hero named "Pigman" who kills Muslims or something. Just so that you're comfortable knowing that the name is still being used by disgusting bigots.

George W. Bush changed a lot of things for the worse, and that's just one example in recent memory where electing someone else would have made a big difference.

I find the "I'm too lazy to do anything so in order to justify it I will poo poo on anyone that shows any enthusiasm for change and call it all pointless" poo poo really irritating since I know people personally that say it and act like it makes them the sensible people in the room.

This is just as meaningless as "the election won't be determined by one vote." You have to elect one politician to elect a group of them, and electing one shows a shift of public opinion that can lead to other victories.

You have to elect one politician to elect a group of them, and electing one shows a shift of public opinion that can lead to other victories. Also voting for e.g. Bernie even if you believe he won't win tells the mainstream dems that a portion of their base finds them too conservative. They analyze their constituents as demographics and en masse, so you might as well try to influence them in the same way. That's honestly how I see my power as a voter, much more so than actually considering the victory or loss of the person I voted for, since most politicians in office are center-right pieces of poo poo anyway.

This is why we need to teach people (basic) linguistics in school. Social groups form dialects, sure, but it's relation based. If you're black and grow up in a white neighborhood, there's a good chance you'll "sound white" from the sheer number of white people you interact with everyday as a kid. It's more complicated than just numbers but you can't discount them.

I'm not a big bernie fan, but given even the democrats seem right of center, it's a good enough reason for me to vote for him in the primaries.

Hey, speaking of which, I think it's time for more WHINY BULLSHIT ABOUT TED GETTING FIRED:   Gay rights is the one issue about which Beeler isn't a mindless shill for the right. I don't think his caricature of Davis is terrific (he's trying way too hard to treat the glasses like Oliphant's drawings of George H.W. Bush, for some reason), and the setup/punchline are kind shoehorned together, but eh, he deserves credit for not being a tool about this.  FAMILY LOVE HILLARY!

You have missed the title of the cartoon, which identifies those responses as those of the religious right, and not the cartoonist's own.

Post 9-11 User posted:Response to Obama: impeach. Response to Davis: preach. Doesn't that mean the author is condemning the former and supporting the latter? He's criticizing the "Religious Right's" response in both cases, ironically contrasting them with one another. Like I said, Beeler has a long record of generally good opinions on the subject of gay marriage. That doesn't mean the cartoons he crafts around those opinions are always well-executed.
