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.

MODERATORS
The most consequential issue for voters this past election was the economy. People are feeling inflation, whether that's through food prices, rent prices, or all of the above.
Harris didn't campaign to that. Instead, she catered to families with children - a diminishing subsect of society - and small businesses. Yes she advocated for a first time home subsidy, but no young person believes they'll truly have enough money to own a home in their lifetime.
Harris ignored the working class. And so they ignored her. Plain and simple. A political party has to fix its constituents' problems, or at least lie about it. She did neither.
Stop making this about voters.
Yes, you're right, it's 100% Harris' fault.
She didn't take the steps needed to make people care enough about stopping a fascist dictatorship.
And it's the voters' fault that they needed to be made to care about stopping a fascist dictatorship? They should have already not wanted their friends to die.
They are both 100% to blame. Because blame isn't a limited resource.

Defending the economy when we all know our paychecks are shrinking relative to rising costs wasn't a wise move by the Democrats. The Republicans didn't offer any sane and sensible solutions, scapegoating immigrants is absurd, but they acknowledged that the economy isn't doing well for a lot of people and that actually resonated with many.
No, what you stated is why red voted red. This race wasn't lost because red voted red. This race was lost because blue didn't vote. The numbers are very clear it's a little more red than there was last time but there was a lot less blue
