idonotlikepeas posted:Clay Bennett Bennett’s still got it, if only occasionally. I mean the joke is the most basic middle-class American liberal poo poo: Trump dumb baby — but it works because as well as being true (he am dumb baby), he just communicates that idea directly, competently, and humorously, and lets it be. No-one has to be a shrieking baboon; no straight-faced everyman has to be remarking, “Well! I thought I’d seen dumb babies!!”; not every item in the scene has to have two or three contradictory labels attached to it. Just nice to see some proper cartooning, particularly from the American field, which is on the whole so pitiful.

Ms Adequate posted:I mean I get Ted's point and it's not even wrong, but he managed to gently caress up "Biden isn't doing enough" so badly that his message comes out as "Biden successfully saved this person's life, even if it's not perfect" because like... yeah, losing a limb sucks, but it sucks a lot less than losing two limbs, or getting killed? The point is that expecting someone to be grateful that you "only" blew off their leg instead of murdering them is insane. Also the larger joke is that the whole thing is a liberal fantasy: that the IDF leveling whole neighborhoods and killing 10,000 people is actually thanks to Biden secretly "restraining" Bibi by unprovably whispering contradictions to his public "no red lines for Israel" stance.

Fister Roboto posted:This one bothers me in a really weird way. It looks more like fanfiction of the Buttigiegs than an actual political cartoon. Yeah since Buttigieg essentially ran on "Gays: They're just like you and me!" back in 2020, this whole cartoon reminds me of that late 00's period where it was slowly dawning on America that LGBTQ people existed who weren't drug-addled gogo dancers. It's weird to see the Normality Argument emphatically made in 2023, and it's even weirder to pretend like a Christian Nationalist who spent decades trying to recriminalize being gay would be swayed by a charming yuppie dinner.

It's also the easiest possible edit. I expect it will take most people less time to fix that cartoon than it takes me to write this post. This, however... I'm sure Lester thinks this is insightful commentary, but seriously come on. You can't see the events being reported by media in and around Gaza, or the statements by MSF and other humanitarian groups, and come to whatever the hell this conclusion is. I know hoping is too much to ask but I wish these people would ever actually see themselves for what they are.

Being the President and doing what the majority of Americans want, or at least pandering and saying you will, is a Very Bad Thing if you're doing it for selfish reasons. Doing what most Americans want in order to make most Americans vote for you isn't how this representative democracy is supposed to work! Edit: hitting on the sanctimonious part of the below post, that isn't even what cursive looks like. I have provided a writing sample for the benefit of the pearl-clutchers so they can perhaps pick a better generic cursive font.

It's so lazy it undermines the point because the font is designed to be legible. Like it's so easy to read it just makes the coyote look like a moron instead of a kids-these-days-don't-know-cursive stand in.

Clay Bennett Matt Davies Lee Judge To forestall a likely question: this is a reference to the first line of a poem called "Casabianca", about a (theoretically) true incident in which a boy refused to leave his post on a burning ship until ordered to do so by his father, who (unbeknownst to him) had already died. The ship exploded when the fire reached the magazine. Felicia Hemans posted:The boy stood on the burning deck, I'll leave the relevance of this to the cartoon as an exercise for the reader.

Reminds me of the time Ben said Trump's NOT a fascist by posting a big loving list of the defining traits of a fascist leader he likes (most of them) and pointing out Trump does all that. Also Project 2025 is pretty drat direct in one of its goals being punishment of Trump's perceived enemies (which they deny trying to do but that'd be like giving meth to a tamed wolf in a room alone and expecting good things out of it). It's very annoying how effective the Republican tactic of say our opponents are doing bad poo poo for the purposes of doing it themselves is. "Two wrongs don't make a right" is a common old saying for a reason- we've known about the lizard part of our brains being susceptible to the idea that yes they do for a long time and yet it still loving works. Edit: on that note and sticking with animal analogies, see also the Israeli method of beating the poo poo out of a bear, acting surprised when the bear mauls them, then hunting brown bears to extinction because hey, they mauled us.

idonotlikepeas posted:David Horsey The Seattle Times was the only online source I could quickly find that summarized the candidates' positions. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/seattle-city-council-elections-too-close-to-call-in-initial-results/ The Seattle Times posted:While the city positions are nonpartisan and it is not a perfect split, the candidates — like the current council — largely fall into one of two groups of Democrats. There are self-proclaimed progressives likely to vote in favor of more housing density, taxes and alternatives to policing, and there are more moderate candidates often more supportive of policing and maybe more conservative on development and taxes. Then I stumbled across a Seattle Times editorial by Sarah Grace Taylor that noted how low voter turnout, especially among younger voters, influenced the results. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/seattle-city-council-elections-too-close-to-call-in-initial-results/ Sarah Grace Taylor's editorial posted:Older voter participation declined only slightly compared with the last similar off-year election, in 2019. The number of voters 65 and older, the largest voting bloc, was down about 6% from 2019, according to ballot return stats. Why didn't young people show up to vote? The editorial offers some speculation on the question. The speculation includes "the candidates all seemed pretty alike", "recent polls showed lack of faith in the incumbent city council", "protest movement politics can't sustain itself forever", "the far left is focused on Gaza and the Middle East", and "everyone is exhausted from all the horrible stuff that's been happening". Of course, this is just one city's election, and I realize the value of voting in general has been exhaustively debated in these forums. Furthermore, I absolutely do not intend to downplay the vital importance of being politically active in ways other than voting, including protesting. I do not agree with the editorial's dim view of protesting. But I feel like it's important to highlight this specific and current example of how a block of people (especially young people) not voting may have changed the outcome of the election for a city's government. It's one more piece of evidence that the smaller the election, the greater the impact of any one person's vote.
