Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

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.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

While I understand this frustration, time and again, Democrats have overwhelmingly voted to make the lives of their constituents better, while Republicans overwhelmingly voted against.

It's not both sides, it's top and bottom. And consistently the right tries to keep you at the bottom much much more than the left.

Oh, I completely agree that the issues plaguing us are driven by class disparity, not political or ethical disagreements. And yes, there's no doubt that Team Blue trends more toward progressivism than Team Red.

They play to different demographics, but ultimately, they're just different shades of conservative and only out for themselves.

That being said, given no other choice, I'd rather have the politician who pretends to care over the one who doesn't even try to hide their contempt for common decency.
