Feel the Bern!
I was in need of gas today since I was almost on vapor, and stopped at my usual station.
And as I was walking in, some short, piggish blonde woman was shaking a Hillary Poster at me, proudly reminding me to vote tomorrow in Wisconsin's primary, and to vote for Hillary.
And yes, I did say that to the woman. She wasn't amused in the slightest.
I can't WAIT til the Clown show is over in November. I hate this circus.
Sorry for the crappy art, wanted it out quickly.

To be fair, if a candidate is actively being investigated by the FBI and yet still manages to get support, it says more about the supporters than Hillary.
"Whose the bigger idiot? The idiot or the idiot that follows the idiot?" :P
Im just hoping that if she does get indicted or whatever that she strikes the same pose as Nixon did.

Yeah, we can always go with the asshole blowhard, or the "Christian" theocrat, right?
Actually to be totally honest I can't stand any of them.
And the supporters!
You saw the Hillary supporter, I've seen Bernie supporters here in Sheboygan, they would fit better in Cuba.
Trump's supporters are either ready for a fight or willing to go full racist.
Cruz's supporters remind me of the Taliban.

Bernie supporters outnumber Hillary supporters here in Madison ten to one, and I even see cars in town with Bernie, Hillary and even Elizabeth Warren stickers on the same bumper.
The Hillary crowd here is rather in your face vocal too. And there are regular verbal battles between Bernie and Hillary boosters. And I've yet to see a Cruz sign or sticker on any vehicle and seen only one Trump sticker, and clearly NOT a car from Madison.

Funny thing about most states: The urban areas tend to be more liberal than the rural areas.
Pick a state, any state, and look at the election results o a county-by-county basis. You'll see even the reddest of the red states will show a 'relative blue' trend around the cities, even if it just means 'less red,' instead of an actual blue shade. And even the bluest of blue states will have a countryside that is more conservative than their urban areas.
Don't know if it means that Liberals love cities, and Conservatives love farmland; or if it means the cosmopolitan cities promote more liberal thinking, while the homogeneous regions of the countryside small towns promote a more Conservative worldview. But regardless of which is cause and which is effect, there is a clear link between the two data sets.

Conversely, I might say that living in a small community where everyone acts the same, thinks the same, (for the most part) looks, and has the same educational level the same leads to insular, xenophobic, 'us versus them' mentalities, where 'outsiders' with different looks and/or different points of view are treated with distrust, suspicion, or outright hatred.
After all, there are plenty of 'small town with a dark secret' stories, where all the 'townies' are in on the terrible secret of the town, but you never find any stories of a big city where everyone is working together to hide a deep, dark secret.
You're quick to accuse city-folk of being socialists, may I ask why you choose that label?
And while city-dwellers may have a disconnect from some things, such as 'knowing where food comes from,' I would like to point out that city-dwellers tend to have a more 'global' worldview, being concerned about issues that affect things outside the immediate neighborhood. City-dwellers are more likely to look at how certain activities or policies may make the country look to its allies and trade partners. After all, no country can thrive by being isolationist. North Korea has tried, and they have effectively regressed back to the Medieval Era. And even North Korea has an international trade partner, so even the most isolationist country on the planet isn't really as isolated as it claims.

Exactly. And the 'Salem' of 'Salem's Lot is a small town named Jerusalem's Lot.
Big cities are generally Cosmopolitan, since it's a huge collection of varied ehnicities and points of view. City-dwellers face The Unknown all the time: one rarely sees one's co-workers outside of work, the faces on the bus are ever-changing, one's family may be scattered across the city, so Uncles/Aunts/Cousins are seldom seen, except on holiday get-togethers.
Small Towns are generally Provincial, since everyone knows everyone else, and The Unknown is not encountered as often, making it more disconcerting when facing it.

A village of 100 people can all be in on a deep, dark secret.
A town of 1,000 people can all be aware that 'something is amiss,' but only a small group with that would know the secret, and be hiding the details from the rest.
An urban area of 10,000 people, all sharing a secret they keep from the commuters and other visitors circulating through the city constantly, borders on Theatre of the Absurd, the far border, right next to Farce.

From the small country town that I am from and live near, far away from the liberal center of this state, I would say that the latter of influences is true. The place that you live influences what you think... however, it doesn't stop the liberals from taking their big city mentality and liberally sharing it with every one around them when they move to 'peaceful and quiet countryside' area. :P
The same way that the 'Provincial' country-folk start judging everyone around them by their 'Conservative' values when they move to a new place. Or move into a 'position of power' such as Employer (Hobby Lobby) or Pubic Servant (Too many for a simple example, but the Conservative majority in Tennessee, Georgia, and Mississippi might be a good place to start).
still not cool. I am not voting for her unless it's to keep a Republican out of office. Red would not put up with such a lack of respect, why should Hillary? Is she any less a woman because you don't like her? It's kinda hypocritical of you to run this comic about a Strong Woman and then call another woman a bitch.
Did you also see the back to back video of her ask in a complaining way "Where was Senator Sanders when I pushed for universal health care in 93 or 94?" And follow up video is her in 93 thanking Bernie for his support for universal health care and he's literally standing right behind her? That was priceless. X3
Bless you my son, for should the she-beast get the nod by the nations stupid, you can perhaps get this actually printed locally and sold here http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s.....ry%2Caps%2C312
I've seen the Hillary for Prison 2016 even locally here in socialist Madison.

Gov. Walker's endorsement must carry some weight as Cruz is beating Trump in the polls. My former Governor Jennifer was a Hilrod backer the first time around. Granholm became so toxic that she was asked to not campaign for anyone. Almost like with Barkie now.
Bernie thinks food lines are terrific btw. He seems to be using a 1970s Sweden travel brochure for most of his ideas.

interestingly enough, he also speaks swabian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jossW8bckcQ
I love your expressions in this comic - weary of and fed up with these shenanigans. Definitely hear you on wanting this circus to end!
I had been thinking about making cutesy mock-election buttons ("Doge 2016! Much Vote, Very Win!", "Cthulhu 2016: Because why vote for a LESSER Evil?", etc) but people have been so bloodthirsty vicious about "Vote for my Chosen One or die in a fire!" online I just haven't bothered. (Also I'm reasonably certain braining someone with a folding chair for starting a political argument in front of one's table violates most conventions' Codes of Conduct.) Oh, for the days when election years ever WEREN'T worse than wearing a Caps jersey in the Pittsburgh seats of a Steelers game... @_@;

Like I said earlier, even though I wasn't around to see them, the politics and commercials of the 52/56 elections and "I like Ike" are literally NOTHING remotely vicious by todays mudslinging by both sides. And its only going to get worse this summer thanks to MoveOn.org and BLM firing up the protestors. I swear, they want 1968 all over again, and I remember THAT.
Historically speaking, the middle of the 20th century was an outlier politically. in the early days of the Republic, campaigns would call the souses of the opposition whores and slatterns, and declare that the candidates were puppets of foreign interests, and all that sort of BS, that these days only shows up among the Tinfoil hat crowd and the LaRouchies.
I had to post this bit from American Heritage (Aug. 1968):
Brotherly Love Among the Founding Fathers
John Adams on Thomas Jefferson: "[He has] a mind, soured, yet seeking for popularity, and eaten to a honeycomb with ambition, yet weak, confused, uninformed, and ignorant."
- on Alexander Hamilton: "This man is stark mad, or I am." "[Consider] the profligacy of his life; his fornications, adulteries and his incests."
- on Benjamin Franklin: "His whole life has been one continued insult to good manners and to decency.... From five complete years of experience of Dr. Franklin.... I can have no dependence on his word.... I wish with all my soul he was out of public service."
Thomas Jefferson on Adams: "[He is] distrustful, obstinate, excessively vain, and takes no counsel from anyone."
- on Hamilton: "I will not suffer my retirement to be clouded by the slanders of a man whose history, from the moment when history can stoop to notice him, is a tissue of machinations against the liberty of the country which not only has received and given him bread, but heaped its honors on his head."
Alexander Hamilton on Jefferson: "A man of profound ambition and violent passions.... the most intriguing* man in the United States... the intriguing incendiary, the aspiring turbulent competitor... prone to projects which are incompatible with the principles of stable and systematic government."
- on Adams: "..... disgusting egotism.... distempered jealousy.... ungovernable indiscretion.... vanity without bounds."
Benjamin Franklin on vituperation: "Love your Enemies, for they tell you your Faults." 7@=e
*"Intriguing" is used in its old sense of "scheming" or "conspiratorial".

The only people I've seen holding signs are Trump supporters. Lots of Bernie fans around here though.
To be fair though - that was kind of a dick thing to say to her. But you have to expect that kind of talk when you hold a sign though. Heck, I got called an asshole just for waving a US flag once.
