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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

As a progressive my optimism has always been based on the fact that we outnumber regressives. They have to pull all kinds of shit to make it harder for us to vote and stop our votes from counting. What I failed to consider is that when it really mattered, really REALLY fucking matters... a lot of us would just decide not to show up.
Ive been hearing my whole life that Women, Minorities and young people are sick of their lives being run y old white men.
They ran a young educated black woman against a old white billionaire in his 70s and they still didnt turn up.
The real reason isn't being discussed. They don't think their vote matters. They think it's a bunch of screaming into the void and it won't change. It will, but just not in a way anyone expects.
