E: Of course, conservatives are huge baby bitches and their "campaign" against Colbert is particularly dumb and petty.

Yeah, you'd think the show being boring and uninteresting would be reason enough for CBS to fire Colbert.

Ditko's ideology is loathsome trash, but I can respect that he takes it seriously and isn't coy about it. The Tinsleys and Ramirezes of the world are the dudes that go to church once a month and once read the cool parts of Exodus, and indulge in whatever heresy and blasphemy they wish while preening themselves for their holiness, but Ditko is the guy that would take a bullet before breaking a commandment, out of genuine terror for his soul. Like Moore said for Rorschach, his integrity is admirable, despite it being idiotic and borderline insane.

Not nearly as wealthy as Colbert but doesn't he do story boards and character design on some pretty big animated movies? I'm sure Glenn is living pretty fine.

Naw I'm pretty sure the anger is being directed toward discrete and identifiable targets, Stantis/Allie. Sorry if you've been getting nasty letters that make you boo-hoo, but there's a very simple reason for that: you're trash.

Sure, you feeeel like you did your due penance by navel-gazing for months, but you learned absolutely gently caress-all, as you showed when you returned to your old cycle of "Trash the Clintons and liberals in general as pure evil/Bemoan how nasty everything is/Goto 10".

The message would have been stronger if somebody was ripping IVs out of the arms of sickly baby chicks because of TrumstickCare, I agree.

He almost said something reasonable, innovation driven by free market economics will save more lives, an idea that you can disagree with but is grounded in actual economic theory. Instead, the Republicans just can not seem to hold back their true feelings of FYGM anymore.

Nothing happened to him, he's just a Floridian who thinks that not believing every right-wing talking point all of the time makes him a politically enlightened centrist unburdened by bias. He'll still draw Ed Asner Hillary holding a bag of But Those Emails—but it's ok because he did one where he admitted that Jeff Sessions was controversial.

Marlette was always "both candidates are bad!" And shat on Hillary a bunch in the election. His caricature of her is probably one of the more vile ones. I think him and Stiglich are the two cartoonists that I hate the most.

I assume what he meant, based on his comments about "location," was not "gently caress my constituents if they didn't vote for me," but rather "these are out-of-state protesters." Still a dumb argument.

The "Both candidates are bad" pisses me off because it's such a poor excuse to wash away any responsibility for electoral outcomes. They get to say they hate both but never have to really put any effort into actually doing any good in our political system.

Usually both candidates are bad in the sense that it is bad to have a cold, and bad to have cancer, but if you were forced to pick, you would pick the former.

It's more "we are all flawed human beings, and it's nearly impossible to find someone that aligns with our political views 100%" but for some reason, most Americans just decide to simplify it down to "both sides are bad" to handwave any critical thinking on the topic.

we are all flawed human beings

This issue is especially powerful in young voters, which is why I think, they don't tend to vote. They see that both Clinton and Trump are crashing hypocrites in a lot of things, so they drat them as equally bad, when Clinton had a much better plan for the country (since Trump's plan was basically "lighting the country on fire" it was hard to be worse.)

Men also get more of a pass for being flawed, so Clinton's peccadillos were more of a concern to people than Trump's complete corruption. Her slight smugness was absolutely infuriating to a lot of people, while Trump's towering vanity and arrogance got given the "great man" pass.
