    What’s the democratic party leadership in this analogy? Are they suggesting we use a knife to cut holes in the boat instead of a gun?

      Do you leave a sarcastic comment on everything you don’t find funny / original, or just Pizzacake comics?

      It’s okay to just… not post if something isn’t up your alley.

        There’s something in particular about their half assed art style and ham-fisted attempts at comedy that I find particularly annoying.

        And then people lap it up, not because there’s any humour in their content, but because it aligns with their views.

          Pizzacake is capable of communicating complex ideas using maybe four panels, minimal dialogue, and does not rely on cheap gimmicks.

          They are one of the most talented cartoonists on the contemporary scene.

          I understand their style isn’t your taste, but Pizzacake has earned every bit of praise & respect they get, not just because people are sheeple who like anything they agree with.

            Do you genuinely think this is a complex idea being communicated?

            And I’ve seen the same point made with just one panel, it’s not a new joke.

              Is this the best comic PC has ever produced? No, I don’t think so.

              But I’m trying to help you understand why they are so respected.

                Oh, I get it, I said so in my first comment. People post them because her comics share their views, not because there is any humour in them.

                Failing to understand that doing so here is like standing up in church and telling someone you’re a big fan of Jesus.

                  I get it, but PC deserves the respect.

                  There are LOTS of cartoonists out there I will happily tear into for being lazy &/or lame (I’m going to refrain), but not Pizzacake, they’re legit.

        I mean, there’s only so many ways to say something is terrible.

        There’s just no humour in her content, and people post it purely because it aligns with their views.

    We can’t do anything about the boat sinking gun, or try and take it away from the boat sinker, because that would be against good decorum. Don’t worry though, we’ve thrown that guy who called the boat sinker a fuckhead off the boat. We have to take the high road and follow the rules or who knows what the boat sinker will do next. We’ll calmly convince them to lower the amount of holes they put in the boat while cmpromising by understanding that some of those holes were needed.

    Vote for us, and we’ll only put a few holes in the boat

      What a heavy handed line that’s being pushed on Lemmy. And we’re not even near the election yet.

        “Heavy handed line” AKA how the sane rest of the world sees US politics. You’re stuck in an endless game of good cop/bad cop and it’s so obvious to everyone else that we’re all flabbergasted at those who can’t see it. US propaganda is strong.

      Damn you people who put Trump into presidency are so mad that we’re mad at you for putting Trump into the presidency. Accept the fact that part of the reason we’re in this situation is you letting the perfect be the enemy of the good and depressed voter turnout with your whining.

        or… It could be the Democrats running terrible campaigns with terrible candidates, who ran on the coattails of a terrible president that put us in this situation.
