- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Am I too un-USAmerican to understand this joke?
In the 2020 primaries, Bernie Sanders was rapidly gaining support. Based on the number of candidates and how they were splitting the vote, he stood the best chance of winning.
Then, the call went out. I'm not sure how else to describe it. All the competing candidates were in one day, and then most of them withdrew the next day and cleared the moderate field for Biden. It was a coordinated choice by a donor group or DNC or something that catapulted a mid popularity Biden to the top of the pack. Hence the calls of 'DNC sabotaged Bernie'
But why are they still talking about in in 2100 in the comic? I don't get whether it's shitting on the Bernie supporters for not moving on, or taking the piss out of the democratic party not getting its shit together.
