There are only so many ways you can screw something up, MAYBE you’ll find the right way

Just lie better about it.

That middle panel makes Winslow look really, really clueless….

I am curious about which policies Winslow is advocating. Universal health care? State run industries? Bans on large capacity magazines? Or just making everyone dress like Che?

No, Winslow. Bad dog! BAD DOG!!

And

To Winslow: The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

And those of us who DO remember it are condemned to sit helplessly by while others repeat it.

I see what’s going on here. Communism BAD ! Communism always bad ! Capitalism , that greedy system of wealth hoarding and privilege for the bourgeoisie is absolutely wonderful and we will eventually reform it so that it no longer pollutes the earth we all live on. We will reform capitalism so that everyone has full employment at wages that allow everyone to buy all the cheap plastic trinkets that capitalism produces. We will reform capitalism so that everyone lives securely in their own home. The great Captains of Industry of unfettered capitalism and their elected lackeys will eventually see the error of their ways when they’ve accumulated all the wealth and there is no longer anything to rob the citizens of. Did I get it right ? That’s why Communism is bad. Capitalism will eventually self correct ? When , pray tell , is this blessed day coming ?

Let’s send the 12 communists in this country to China and Russia to see if they can act as stem cells to restart communism in those countries, cause, otherwise, I ain’t seeing no communism anywhere, #stanticreatesthebiggeststrawmanofhislittlelife.

Won’t do any good.

Winslow is a Bernie Sanders supporter.

“Better” is a comparative for which, to be used, there must be a base, i.e., “good.” Since in this case there has never been any “good”, there cannot be a “better.”
