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.

stop bitciing about others discontent
They made their own bed. I don't want to hear a word out of them that isn't working towards a realistic, attainable solution.
Voting in the general election against the worst party and voting in the primaries to make the other party better is a solution.
Choosing not to participate and then whining that those who do participate are making all the decisions is not.
get off the internet
hasn't worked for me yet
How many primaries have you voted in? Do you engage in local politics and primaries to support progressives early in their careers to steer the party left, or do you show up every 4 years when CNN is talking about your state's primary?
If you do the former - great! Encourage others to do so, and understand that it takes time to change a party's direction. And in the meantime, support that party in the general elections because they're still better than the alternative.
If it's the second, then get more active.
I vote for people I want to win. if you want to fix your party, have at it.
If you want them to win, you should encourage them to caucus with and run as a member of a party that can win.
Any effort put into 3rd parties is a waste of resources because they can't ever win in our system of government. You can wish for things to be different, but wishing doesn't accomplish anything.
you're the one who brought up so-called third parties.
