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.

Weak civics education or willful ignorance has failed a generation into self-inflicted gunshot wounds.
Right, they're not wasted: they help win the major candidate you oppose most. Giving your opponents unreciprocated support as Jesus preached is selflessly generous!
Matthew 5:44
When people are disillusioned with the system, they will disconnect from it.
No amount of shaming them or whining about what you think those people owe you will change that.
Clutch your pearls and try voting for a leftist next time.
Any shame is your own making. Reality doesn't care about your disillusionment or ill-conceived ways to self-sabotage. Failure to reflect on consequences of your actions is your own doing.
Is the comment attempting to shame or is something in you compelling you to feel it? Pointing out reality shouldn't cause shame unless you feel it should.
Shame induced by facing reality (that ignorant actions backfire) is self-inflicted. It's a consequence of having enough pride to expect better of themselves. No one should like to feel stupid & the messenger did not create the reality they stupidly failed to appreciate. The power is entirely theirs to end their shame by correcting their folly to deal with reality.
Ridicule isn't whining. Failing to comprehend the consequences of their actions is their folly.
Not thoughts: reality. Electoral rules have consequences.
You mean owe themselves? Only those who think they owe themselves would feel shame.
Fools sabotaging themselves with their own stupidity is its own joy. Following the teachings of Jesus to love & support their enemies might earn them accidental sainthood!
Who's shocked or appalled by pointing out failure to recognize spoiler effect? Seems like someone's butthurt over the reality of the spoiler effect & reality doesn't care.
Try not supporting your enemies unless you're aiming for sainthood.
