alt-text

The image is a Venn diagram that compares the overlapping qualities between "Eligible to be President", "Would be a good President", and "Unusually vocal about love of Venn diagrams". The central overlapping area contains the text "Kamala Harris", while the eligibility and vocality areas contain the text “Me”.

Title text:

Hard to imagine political rhetoric more microtargeted at me than 'I love Venn diagrams. I really do, I love Venn diagrams. It's just something about those three circles.'

I don't know about this one, I think Randall would be a good president. I support his policies.

Best thing is, those changes would not upset anyone in the slightest. It’s just physically impossible.

That's a pretty good endorsement coming from XKCD.

The people interested in Xkcd are all smart enough to see through the conservative propaganda anyway.

He's preaching to the choir.

I love Venn diagrams, because venn means friend in my language

Does anyone know what the Venn diagram she's holding up in the picture actually says?

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 53 points 1 year ago

Whatever it is

Love it

It's a diagram of states where certain rights are being suppressed.

Top circle is abortion, bottom left is voting, bottom right is LGBTQ+.

[–] CynicRaven@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Understood, thank you!

What about Zach weinersmith?

[–] swab148@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

His stance on Venn diagrams is unclear

Zach Weinersmith is the author of SMBC.

I know that lol, I just don't remember any SMBC with Venn diagrams

My favorite SMBC Venn joke leaves the diagram to the imagination: https://www.smbc-comics.com/?db=comics&id=1917#comic
