A Mockery of Democracy Funnies

"It would be a pity to believe that defeating Donald Trump goes far enough to defend democracy."
-- Ted Rall
The toon below neatly summarizes the anxious dilemma some "progressives" are going through now that the DNC and assorted henchpeople (beginning with AOC, continuing with Angela Rye, and this past week Mehdi Hassan, Thom Hartmann, and culminating with Jaime Harrison himself) are elevating in order to NOT have to declare Israel an apartheid state or to cease funding the genocide of Palestinians and now Lebanese.
This is different than trotting out the Drone Assassin in Chief Barack Obama to scold Black men and mock their masculinity about their lack of enthusiasm for voting for Kamala. That 'Joy' vibe appears to have completely run its course and I suppose they realize all they have is Fear.


I would have liked this next toon better had the artist, Emad Hajjaj, included a seventh candle holder in the fish's tail to symbolize a menorah and the appalling chutzpah of the Israeli government's relentless Holocaust recreation during the High Holy Days. Grace to him for not inciting the psychopathic Zionists any further.
Yes, Trump is a fascist but nobody voting for him seems to be bothered about it. The billionaires propping him up certainly don't.

So yes, our duopoly has reduced us to this. But it doesn't have to be that way. If you're not ready to give up on change at the ballot box, you have some options.


But time is running out.

No Facts Checked Funnies


If they're facts then they don't need to be checked.

As Duopoly Indigestion 2024 draws closer -- voting by mail has already begun in some states -- the few things you can count on every single day are that Trump will tell lies, Vance will embellish those lies, their media sycophants will repeat the lies and exaggerations as facts ...


... and the Democrats and their media lickspittles will be shockedIsay about it. Meanwhile Kamala will dodge the press as much as she can, say as little as possible when she can't, and Walz will mimic her every move and non-utterance.

Boring AF performative BS on a loop.

I'm not voting for any Republican, particularly not one with a D beside their name (that includes Colin All Red).
But I can't help but think that if Harris loses, it will be because she chased after the Liz Cheney/Adam Kinzinger Republicans and ignored the voters most put off by the Cheneys and W Bush neocons lining up behind her. The people responsible for US policy in the Middle East for the past 20+ years.
