Rat: Hello, ma'am. I'm Rat and I'd like your support for president.
Woman:Why should I support a flighty, disgusting, no good, thieving little rat?
Rat: Because I'm Not the other two candidates.
Rat: And then she hugged me and donated a million dollars.

She’s not Jill Stein or Gary Johnson? Y’know — the OTHER two candidates?
Guilty Bystander about 8 years ago
This is exactly how people are voting this year.: AGAINST a candidate and not FOR one. That’s never a good sign, no matter how an election turns out.

Yep. Clear as a bell what this means. If only Rat could coe to my country. There is more competition, but he would do a less worse job.

Oddly enough, this is exactly how Trump got the Republican nomination in spite of not actually being a Republican.It is also how Bernie almost got the nomination, except that some Ruling Parties have a firmer grip on power.

Well you can always tell a good political discussion when you find it in the comments page of a comic strip

Stephen has his finger right on the problem. We don’t have a good choice no matter how we vote. We either vote for a scam artist or for Trump

She’ll need to be more specific. “Filthy, disgusting, no good, thieving little rat” could be any of them.
Brass Orchid Premium Member about 8 years ago
Still time to mount an internet campaign to write in Chris Rock and Laurence Fishburne. Could it be any worse?

Plumbob Wilson said, about 10 hours agoI wish there was an option on the ballot to leave the position vacant for the next four years. Just hang a “help wanted” sign on the gate at 1600 Pennsylvania.————————————————————-Sounds good until you remember who’ll be doing the interviewing and hiring. Congress is at least as corrupt as any of the candidates.

A vote for Clinton is simply a vote for “politics as usual”, thus the appeal of the alternative. I wholly understand that. But this particular alternative is a potentially dangerous nitwit. I want change, too. But do we really want it bad enough to take a chance on this small minded moron? Personally, I’d rather take four more years of the same ol’ same ol’ than take that risk.

We’re lucky in Scotland in that we have five reasonably good party leaders of whom two are first-class (and four of the five are women, and three of those are lesbians), but the US is in the same position England has been in for decades – that of having to pick the least-worst from a line-up of lacklustre candidates.

Meh. I am not impressed. A million dollars doesn’t go very far these days, Rat. Besides, it may, even so, be an illegally large donation. Of course, very few folks will vote for you, anyway…
joanb about 8 years ago
OK Rat, you come knocking on my door and I will give you the same response. We need animals like you in DC.. not the animals who are there, been there or want to be there.
Spade Jr. about 8 years ago
Pastis, stick with NON-political humor attempts. This was one of the weakest of the weak strips taking the easy way out with political stuff. Unless of course you’re trying to move to the editorial pages someplace. Now, if this is too hard for you to understand, let me put it this way: today’s strip STINKS.

The times are what the times are. We all reflect the same realities, dreadful though they may be. Maybe we need to stop hanging the shiniest ornaments on the tree and get some dedicated dullards up there.

People like Spade kill me. I don’t like it so it shouldn’t be published attitude. Don’t like it move on arrogant ass. Your opinion isn’t that important.
