Hmm...


Although I guess the clown car isn't exactly unique imagery.

Also nice headdress sticking out of the driver window on Varvel's toon, there.


Might be too soon to call it a trend, but I feel like Branco started removing references to :supaburn: SOCIALISM :supaburn: in favor of references to :supaburn: COMMUNISM :supaburn:.

Oh, well, that's all water under the bridge, as I always say. Water under the bridge!

tbh as a trans person the most offensive thing about that stonetoss comic is the lack of an iced coffee in the last panel.

I was too young in 2008 to really know the difference, but weren't there plenty of Democratic hopefuls 20 months out from the election? Isn't that kind of normal for the non-incumbent party at the end of a second term, for there to be several candidates that gradually withdraw before the primaries?

All these clown-car cartoons feel like thin-skinned projection after the 2016 GOP lineup.

Something hilarious: divorced from context, all of these cartoons with Warren in a headdress make it seem like the cartoonist is super angry that someone with confirmed native ancestry would dare dream of running for president against the white man.

It has gotten bigger over the years, probably because 24 hour news and social media make it easier for lesser known candidates to make a splash. In 2008 I think there were about ten Democrats running, and nearly as many Republicans since there was no clear successor to Bush.

In Feburary 2007, which is the equivalent to February 2019 in this election cycle, the Democratic field was: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, Joe Biden, Chris Dodd, Bill Richardson, Tom Vilsack, Dennis Kucinich. Clinton/Obama/Edwards were the clear top 3 based off $$$.

Other than the fact that in 2007, the Dems had what most considered a clear favorite (Clinton, oopsie-doodle), it's not that much different than this cycle. And, unlike the GOP the last few cycles, mostly devoid of grifter knuckleheads and marginal freaks. Mostly.

Really should not have clicked that link. I was peripherally aware of Imgur's userbase but 90% of those comments, including those most upvoted are of one of the following tunes:
  • so what?
  • he's entitled to his opinion and it's just as valid as yours
  • okay crybaby sjw libcuck do you need a safe space
  • how is this racist
  • he's right though/these are very funny
  • wow thanks for showing me these they're awesome, saved!
  • OP wants us to not think for ourselves

Did Stonetoss sic all his fans on this post or is Imgur actually that bad just on its own?

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

What’s funny about that is that there’s no way to run a rail network without central planning. There aren’t many industries less compatible with libertarianism.

Eli Valley is a treasure who comes from a similar place as post-World War I artists like Otto Dix and George Grosz; seeing the power structures of the world as a horrid burlesque that hates us and wants us all dead, and striking back in kind.

Or like modern British political cartoonists, except that his opinions are actually good.

Anecdotally there does seem to be more autistic trans people than you'd expect, but I personally suspect it's more to do with bullshit tolerance causing a higher self-acceptance rate than any actual causal link.
