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.

No, they're just less left leaning than Millennials were at that age. 66% of Millennials voted for Obama, whereas only 54% of Gen Z voted for Harris.
Obama was a far more compelling candidate. Don't blame the voters for the DNC pushing milquetoast candidates.
Trump is also a far, far worse candidate than McCain was.
You didn't need to be "left leaning" to vote for Harris. Just, you know, not insane.
Is it that they're less left leaning? Cause when you put the names of the candidates there (Obama vs Harris), it just sounds like a weaker candidate that didn't move their base as much.
That's how most of the electorate approaches political analysis unfortunately: the parties supply their politics.
With Gen Z there's also a huge gender disparity, the boys are NOT okay, they're the Hitler Youth.
That said, Gen X voted for Trump in greater numbers than the Boomers.
Gen X aren't spectators. They're fucking MAGA, and they were also the ones writing the shitty generation war articles.
Gen X is the generation that got just enough from their boomer and silent Gen parents that they don't really care to change anything and keep up the system but pretend they hate it.
They act like they are separated and completely uninvolved but they are the last generation to have a semblance of a nice thing and they won't rock the boat. Especially now that they are getting more of the positions their parents held.
They may pretend they aren't here, but they are, and pretending they stuck to themselves and they don't do anything that impacts others is just wishful thinking on their part.
