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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

substitutes everything the candidate runs on to "I'm not the other guy", because the other guy doesn't run on those things
accuses candidate of running on "I'm not the other guy"
My point was "he appointed competent people to run some departments and gives them enough resources to do their jobs" isn't a point in his favour. It's only a neutral point. It's the baseline that should be expected from someone in his office. You're saying "Biden doesn't actively strip the government for parts". It only makes sense as a point in his favour if you assume that the alternative is "starve the beast" tactics (which TBF it definitely is). It can only be considered a positive as compared to his opponent.
I disagree with you first statement. It is definitely a point in his favor because the election doesn't happen in a vacuum, you must take into account who the alternatives are.
The point is that you should hold the Democrats and Biden accountable for being evil and not doing good things that make people's lives better (which they absolutely have the power to do). They sit back and watch the world burn, then when election time comes they say "at least we didn't start any of these fires" (they just don't bother extinguishing them)
