I see a ton of shopping malls with those watchtower-inspired spires these days. Is it a ploy to keep homeless guys away because it reminds them of a prison?

It's to make everyone else think their town's buildings still have architecture instead of being a great big box.

"Trump ignores the works of plutocrats acting against him" seemed so divorced from reality that I had to look up the cartoonist. Turns out he's a Russian, and those little top hats and tails aren't plutocrats, but congress (hence the building in the background, I suppose). He seems pretty politically milquetoast, but Russian, and he's got an interesting choice in metaphor (or maybe just a foreign one), so have a Zudins dump

US healthcare


Trump and his guard (no clue what this is about)


On the impartial Russian media



Obama's foreign legacy



How that bastard Richard Maclaren better not ban Russia from the Olympics for doping



The changing tide of the US elections



This one's called demoCRAZY on the site and you have to respect that


Lavrov and the current US Foreign Sec



President gay so what?


Syria as proxy war between empires


But also, cuddly Assad





and finally, "Obama's Dream"

I also didn't know how NATO money worked until Trump mouthed off about it, prompting me to read actual information about it. The Trump age is a good opportunity to learn about things that you wouldn't ordinarily think about unless you throw the opportunity in the loving garbage without even realizing it.

"Cruel and smirking" is Garrison's idea of an adult.

He seriously disturbs me on a personal level in a way nobody else posted here does, except possibly Henry. The delight he shows in portraying the suffering of people already weak and powerless... Garrison only ever comes across as a very broken and dangerous individual.

It's grimly comical that being endorsed by Bernie is a near guarantee that you lost your election. Hillary is included in this.

There are of course people out there who unironically have this take, it's utterly cringe-inducing

The funniest part is that Bernie didn't even want to endorse Ossoff. Those same people made him do it. Remember the fallout when Bernie declined to call Ossoff a progressive?

Yuuuuuuuuup. The bigly reasosn Ossoff did so drat well in GA06 is because of the 33% Republican vote loss compared to Tom Price's election the prior year and the lack of Bernie's albatross hanging around Ossoff's neck.

There are areas in this nation where any party's progressive -- even a fake progressive like Trump -- has swept / would sweep the vote. GA06 isn't one of them.

I mean, I kind of doubt a critical mass of people anywhere would decide not to vote for someone solely or largely because Bernie Sanders once said they were good, especially if they're not campaigning on it and you'd have to Google it to even know about it

If his name is that poisonous to you, you either (a) are a straight-ticket GOP voter anyway, or (b) have tons of personal loyalty to Hillary Clinton, in which case you would not be caught dead voting Republican anyway

but regardless the point of my post was that people out there unironically think this is what actually historically happened to lose this election

He probably hated Hillary the most out of anyone posted here, and yet he's the one who ended up the most broken by her defeat

He had four whole years of "Hillary bad" comics storyboarded out already and never really figured out what his new take would be when Trump won

"He's not like Bernie though?" has come up in my canvassing waaaaaay too frequently for my stomach to handle :saddowns:

You're perhaps too cynical of voters. They were knowledgeable of who did and didn't endorse each candidate. Hell, knowledge about Trump's endorsement for Katen Handel has been one of the greatest weapons available:
:phone: But she isn't like Trump, she's different.
:phoneb: No, Trump has repeatedly endorsed her, and her him, I have the video on my phone
[conversation proceeds favorably for me along whichever issues this R voter has with Trump]

You best believe I've whipped out Bernie's "I don't know" quote to shield Ossoff. And yes, I've campaigned for most of my adult life for Bernie, starting back in Burlington.

You need to accept that there is a gray area on progressivism, and it's really broad. You're not very helpful of your worldview doesn't reflect reality.
