It really annoys me whenever conservative cartoonists try to play the "It's not a real job" "It's not a good enough job" or whatever else when they GET PAID TO MAKE REALLY lovely CARTOONS THAT JUST TELL THEIR READERS lovely OPINIONS RIGHT BACK AT THEM. Should just replace branco with a conservative comics generator and no one would know the difference. In fact just replace Branco, make sure he has to spend a few years on the street. gently caress him. Pants Donkey posted:But is he voiced by Tim Curry? FernGully could really use a remake or remaster right now.

There should be some special category for these "*a thing that will actually drastically affect ordinary people's lives* compared to *some piece of political gamesmanship* cartoons."

Eh, I think it's clear enough that everyone except the die-hard trump fanatics hate the new healthcare bill. So this bit of spite doesn't feel necessary. quote:I feel like I can just make an image completely with clipart and put JRRose name on it and you wouldn't know the difference. It's not bad like Branco but it's just so boring.

I assume cartoons like this are designed to be accompanying specific articles which discuss the item in more depth, right? There's no way a cartoonist could draw this, go "yes this is a worthy piece to use as a stand-alone editorial cartoon", and then ship it...right?

So I actually live in Illinois, but not in a good part, I'm like 3 hours southwest of Chicago on the border with Iowa. So of course, 90% of the interactions you have here are with people who either really like Trump or don't see anything wrong with him. So to everyone else: whenever people bitch about how bad Chicago is and suggest we make Illinois and the Chicago area two different states, do you usually just assume there's some racist undertones? Like for one, and I could be completely wrong here, doesn't that Chicago area probably provide enough income to (somewhat) take care of the rest of this big-rear end state? Separating the two just seems like you'd have one bustling and wealthy area that's just surrounded by small towns and family farms that are slowly being absorbed by corporate ones. Also, I feel like people (at least around here) just think of Chicago as a black city. Which is where I get the idea that there are racist undertones. Because otherwise, why would removing Chicago from Illinois be beneficial?

It's definitely somewhat racist, but that's also just how the rural-urban divide works. You hear the same thing here in Washington with regards to Seattle vs eastern washington. They don't like being beholden to The City, and want to break away, despite the fact that their way of life is subsidized by taxes that come primarily from that city. The benefit world be removing liberal voters from the equation. Not having Those People telling them how to live their lives and so on.

Because otherwise, why would removing Chicago from Illinois be beneficial? While it's impossible to separate out politics and race, the impression I always get (and I live in Chicago) is that it's a Republican/Democrat thing more than White/Black. Chicago is suuuuuper Democrat, and the rest of Illinois is equally Republican. As it happens, more than half of the population of Illinois lives in the Chicago Metro Area, so the state as a whole is also heavily Democrat in national elections. Therefore, people who say "remove Chicago from Illinois" are doing that to let the Republican rural Illinois be Republican and the Democrat metro area be Democrat. It's kinda like the people who want to kick California out of the USA so that their 55 electoral votes don't keep going to Democrats (and similarly with their Representatives). And yeah, without Chicago Illinois would be a pretty poor state. If you kick out the Chicago area, the population drops to about the same as Connecticut (maybe more, depends on where you draw the lines) and pretty much all of the tourism and business income goes with it.

I agree, Delonas. We should definitely toss out the corporate subsidies, tax breaks, etc. that cost 10 times more than all the programs to help the poor combined.

Like, the exact opposite of all these right-wing talking points? Yes. Shockingly enough, paying people more leads to people spending more, and better pay tends to mean people give more of a poo poo about the job. Food service is an infamously awful work experience.

There's been something of an undercurrent lately at pride organizations about whether or not to endorse/allow police in uniform, given how police organizations in general have a pretty drat bad reputation when it comes to interacting with the LGBQT community. Check out the QUILTBAG thread for a more thorough rundown. edit: forgot where I was for a second.

Pants Donkey posted:I believe Police at Stonewall even refused to apologize for the riots, saying it led to good things (which is their "apology"). And in a lot of areas, cops still have an active record of abusing LGBT people, not taking them seriously, and generally failing to protect them. Accordingly there's been quite a bit of discussion and backlash in many LGBT communities about whether police in uniform are welcome at LGBT-centric events.

In some places, LGBT police officers want to march in the Pride parades while in uniform. Their superiors don't always allow them to participate in this way, which creates understandable resentments.

Recently I read poll data that says Republican voter opposition to gay marriage is dropping and is only at like 50% now. I'm still a little dumbfounded that the right gave up that fight so easily, when just a few years ago it was being sold as an existential crisis for human society and whatever.

Once it's legalized and society doesn't actually collapse, those arguments really lose their teeth. Also it was a supreme court ruling and thus not really actionable without an insane congressional majority.

Wait, what? So doing something you have proof works with no consequences, is bad because...what? loquacius posted:My interpretation was "nothing you say is going to make Republicans turn on the leader of their own party anyway so there's no point in getting swept up in nationalism" Yeah, all it will do is whip up Democratic voters to hate Republicans as much as Republicans hate Democrats, and ensure we never have a low vote election that goes to Republicans again. Can't have something like that. loquacius posted:You're reading quiiiiite a bit into that post, friendo Yes it loving well is, because Republicans are spending all their time trying to normalize treason.
