Last man in line: When you consider we don't use free will to begin with, it's really not much of a sacrifice.
Caption: The group-think loyalty program.
Yep, totally Republiclan. Authoritarian and no concept of questioning the will of their one-percent “betters”. And if a few die along the way, well just collateral damage – SOP for the GOP.
Before this descends into a “my candidate can beat up your candidate” debate, let me point out that the jab here has nothing to do with candidates. It is aimed at you, the American voter. But the problem here is that, before one can exercise free will, one must think for one’s self. If you didn’t originate the thought, it isn’t your will.
And, please, don’t anyone accuse me of defending Hillary Clinton. I do not think she’s a good choice to lead this country. She just happens to be the only other viable choice, over a man who should stick to real estate. Or sell used cars.
What? Your kidding right. Let’s see, Hilliary is part of an entrenched 240 year mess. Trump is not part of the corrupt mess. The Cintons are. Worth 300 million or so and are for the middle class? And we are following blindly? Wake up people.
The hilarity of it all is that the commenters on this comic are engaging in groupthink completely unironically. Way to miss the point of the comic, guys.
I’m really bewildered how any rational person of average or better intelligence could support either of these two candidates.the fact that they are the nominees of this country’s two largest political parties illustrates the stupidity of the American voter.
Do you really think misguided loyalty is one sided? If people really paid attention to the real Clinton and Trump, neither could even be elected as dogcatcher.
Guy steps out of the voting booth and says, ‘There is no box for “none of the above’ on this ballot.” Monitor says, ‘Well, then, just don’t vote.’ Guy replies, ‘You don’t get it. I want it on the record that none of the above earned my vote.’
Hillary Rodham was appointed by the judge to take that case in 1975; she did not want to do so. The defendant pleaded guilty, and was later given a light sentence by the judge. Get your bloomin’ facts straight, will you!
Pot, meet kettle, Mr Miller. If this were not true, then so many people wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton because she is a Democrat while ignoring the long list of criminal activity tied to her.
I find it exasperating that one of the arguments in support Trump is that he’s free of corruption. Rayonriver said, “Trump is not part of the corrupt mess.” The evidence points at his involvement in corruption from the other end. If that suspiciously timed payment to the PAC of that attorney general is any indication, then he’s one of the folks involved in corrupting public officials. Given his personality, it’s hard to imagine that he’d draw a line at being on the receiving end of political corruption, don’t you think?
If a woman is inappropriately touched, shouldn’t she say something? (not years later, but right away?) if there was something illegal, then bring charges! Are there any? Unless you’re talking about FBI “deciding” not to press charges? One should wish for that much clout! Typical career politician…..
Free will to vote for a liar, traitor, money grabbing, nasty individual that belongs in jail. Miller could have made the point without personifying the cave.
To the point of today’s cartoon….Man has always looked for ,someone else to lead them and decide for them. Call it the herd mentality or primate pecking order, we have a need to be led.
.
The very core of Western civilization revolves around the need for a Messiah. Someone to rise above it all and lead us to glory and greatness – without us having to do a damn thing except do what we’re told !
.
We mindlessly follow the guy on the white horse into battle without question. God’s on our side, after all
.
.Problem is…One man’s Jesus is another man’s Hitler ! ( And visa versa ,,,)
Hee-hee-hee… this back and forth is so entertaining and while each side has scored a couple points, neither has accomplished anything except generate frustration and anxiety. Better than any television programming. This is why I haven’t owned a TV in 15 years. Oh, please… do carry on.
Lets say, so what that the Mighty Bill screwed on top of the desk in the oval office while his partner was off screwing around too (documented facts except for the desk part, it just sounded too good to pass up). Lets say we forget that the HillBillies didn’t steal 220K in antiques and silverware from the White House when they left (got caught and had to give it back-again documented facts) but after selling their souls to wall street are now are worth $200,000,000. Sex sells if it is the other “person” doing it. I am not happy with either candidate, but I don’t want the Supremos making up the rules based on how they feel any particular day, so I am holding my nose and voting Trump rather than have matching his and hers impeached presidential book ends. I really wanted a decent woman president to vote for but alas the powers that be have a different agenda. God help our grandchildren when all the jobs are gone except flipping burgers or competing with the Indians to write computer code. Perhaps the Zombie Apocalypse or the A.I. singularity will happen before then. Either way its “thin the heard” time. History repeats: the Roman Republic fell and the Caesars arose.
117 comments at this point. What if every stayed away from the polls. Would that send a clear message?? Some schools are closing because of potential violence on election day. How sad.
Just like in the cartoon, the followers of Pumpkin Hitler are spouting the same predictable lies. For instance, “Hillary is a criminal”: The Republicans have wasted millions of dollars in investigations for over two decades in a desperate attempt to find something they could pin on her, and they found nothing. Then some throw in a few more lies about her legal career and the Clinton Foundation, plus vague cries of “corruption” backed by no evidence whatsoever. Then there are those who say both candidates are equally terrible. On the one hand you have the guy in the cartoon, a narcissistic, bigoted, sexist, tax-dodging pathological liar with a terrible business record, a “charitable” foundation which he used to buy stuff for himself and to bribe an AG, and a complete lack of any knowledge about the job he’s running for and no interest in or ability to learn, a guy who has been accused by multiple women (several of whom came forward months or even years ago) of sexual assault and other possibly criminal behavior, accusations supported by comments HE HIMSELF made bragging about doing the exact things they are accusing him of doing. On the other hand you have a woman who is highly competent, has detailed plans for governing and a more thorough understanding of the issues than any candidate in recent history, someone who despite the image promoted by the right rates above average in terms of honesty and who has a wide variety of experience that will allow her to immediately start tackling the many issues the US faces. There is absolutely no comparison. It’s not a race between two terrible candidates, it’s a race between an appalling one and a qualified one. There may not be any hope for the deluded souls who are still voting for the orange faced babbler despite his clear unsuitability for any position of power (even the majority of conservative newspapers have endorsed Hillary), but the sensible people of the US nee
Make a statement and vote your principles. Ignore the two losers and vote Gary Johnson/Bill Weld – Libertarian party. We may or may not win but we will have made an honest statement.
Well, at least Trump will have to do the best job he can because at the least hint of any malfeasance, he Democrats will move in lockstep to impeach him and RHINO Establishment Repubs will do nothing to stop it.
I care for neither Trump nor Hillary. They are both part of the larger cabal/conglomerate/group/club that controls the entire world and cares about us NOT a twit.
You Libs are killing me. Trump is a joke but Hillary?? For gods sake how much more BS can you take. She makes Nixon blush. She is crooked, dirty and a bit evil.
