Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
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).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I don't understand why the USA doesn't use preferential voting like Australia does: https://www.chickennation.com/voting/

Instead of just picking one candidate/party, you number them based on your preferences. First all the #1 votes are counted. If no party gets the majority (over 50%) of votes, the party with the least number of votes is removed, and for everyone that voted for them, their #2 votes are used. Repeat until someone wins.

Independents (what you call "third-party" in the USA) can win, and any party that gets over 4% of the #1 votes gets election funding from the government (a fixed amount per vote).

So the implication of this meme is to starting shooting minorities, so they get back in line with voting for the party.

If that is the kind of "jokes" the "progressive" center makes, it is no wonder, that the fascists win the election. Seems like it does not matter, whether there is a D or an R next to the presidents name. The US will build concentration camps either way.

I'll never understand why people refuse to blame the powerful rich people running the Democrats for not drawing people in with good leftist policy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

First mistake is believing Democrats are leftist. They're also right of moderate, but not quite as right as Republicans. Libertarians are also not really on the spectrum as we know it either. We have no liberal parties that are capable of making a difference.

Because they're not here arguing with us.

The last panel should be the deer bumming around on the couch instead of voting, with some kind of line like "the trees just don't excite me'.
