It’s kind of weird to me that a plain statement of political beliefs is considered an attack ad. To me it feels like too much of a double-edged sword. Oh America, you’re fascinating.
That’s something I still don’t understand about american politics…
1. How can you call it democracy if there are just two parties?
2. How could there ever be some sort of consensus if, whoever doesn’t think the same as you do, therefore is some sort of avatar of pure evil?
Wouldn’t it be easier to just let both candidates fight to the death and elect the survivor to be president? Seems at least as if that’s the direction it’s going…
Anyway, found your comic via your guest strip on “I am ARG”, read through it all and added it to my list of (now) 24 favourite webcomics.
Keep up the great work!
1. It’s not democracy, except at a local level. We’re a constitutional republic… most republicans don’t realize this (they think we’re a democracy, and that the majority makes the rules… they don’t, that would be bad).
2. There’s not a concensus. because of FPTP voting a lot of the US has to deal with majority rules, and our supreme court’s job is to (try to) stop the majority from stripping the rights of the minority.
Yes, here in America we have political such as name calling and pointing out the obvious. It also seems both parties forgot that they are both part of the same country…
mmmm yes i think this would be much funnier from your point of view if you actually lived in America, you know where your opinion could influence the election n stuff
also your head remindes me of a big stack of pancakes just laced to the brim with syrup
Those of us who live in intellectual hotspots in/near the south (e.g. Austin, where I can usually be found) have it pretty good, but the empathy is torture.
Eh. I’m so so on the topic of abortion. I don’t like it, and I don’t like the idea of it. Heck I don’t like the idea of killing ANYTHING, but I understand that it’s needed, and I understand that even if I don’t like abortion , that it doesn’t mean that I should take the option away from people who might be in a life or death- ehhh forget it. This is a comic not a politican discussion. Please, regail me with tails of humor
It seems like everyone who comments on here is against America. Yeah, our politics are a bit messed up but we’re actually a pretty good country and not to mention the most dominant one
If I were American, I would vote against the Republicans simply because of this tactic.
Funny how that one little addition… could fail to change a voter’s opinion (regrettably, it works in the opposite direction too).
It seems like it would fail to change someone’s opinion both ways. Kind of a pointless ad.

There aren’t just “two parties”, Democrat and Republican parties are the most dominant and overshadow any obscure party that runs for the presidency
Wait, is this a real thing?
Good lord, it is. I searched for it and… wow. Your country is messed up.
Don’t blame me, I’m just a poor naive Canadian!
I apologise then. This kind of thing is why I gave up studying politics. I loved the theory and hated the practice.

*political strategies, I mean.

All I can think of after that last comment is that you are a zombie.

The US is rather silly… intellectual hedonism is still rather uncommon, and it makes me sad.
Also, anti-intellectual society is *horrible*… pity those with brains who live in the south.
