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.

Liberals still hating on Bernie supporters and refusing to accept the idea that voters wanted a shake up of the system, rather than a female version of the status quo establishment left?
...so now we're stuck with a right wing shake up to the system instead.
They’re going to keep pissing on others like this and continue to be surprised when their candidates don’t get elected. It will always be someone else’s fault.

If people won’t vote in their own best interest we get facsism.

Taking the adage of "those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it," I could foresee someone going back in time to kill Hitler before he rose to power only for that history never to have been written so it still happens at a different point, in a different part of the world, because nobody learned from it.
Of course, we are now living in a time where it did happen and people still didn't learn a fucking thing...
so it still happens at a different point, in a different part of the world
Like in the Congo, Zimbabwe or now in Palestine?
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'
He kinda got fucked in 2016 when the DNC was all Vote for Hillary or lose your funding
There was something similar that happened in 2016 as well.
Thank you. Seems like the DNC brought upon Trump by themselves.
OP could've added that context to the comic. We don't all follow the news from abroad.
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.
Post-democracy autopsy of how it all went wrong
