Election Eve Tricks
Early voter turnout is at an all-time high in spite of Republicans’ voter suppression shenanigans, but they have one more trick up their sleeves.

Election Anxiety Remedies
With less than a week to go until votes are finally counted, people’s election madness has reached a fever pitch. A lot of people have channeled that energy into productive uses, but the one’s who haven’t can’t stop clogging our timelines with increasingly panicked posts.
While there’s still a few days to get out the vote with phone banks and canvassing, ballot curing is a process I didn’t know much about until recently. 33 states allow voters whose ballots were rejected to correct issues over various timeframes. Getting in touch with those voters and helping them through that process requires lots of volunteers.
There are several organizations that do this, but one I’ve found that lets us slobs in non-swing states easily volunteer can be found here.
Hopefully there will be a decisive winner by next week’s cartoon, but I’m sure there will be plenty of coup attempts and other shenanigans going on for months to come.
Stay sane, everyone!

Save This Cartoonist!
Everyone persuadable has heard the moral cases to vote against Donald Trump. If that hasn’t motivated them to vote, I’m not sure anything will. So I offer this very selfish reason to want Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to win in less than two weeks.
I’m very tired of reading about, thinking about, and drawing this vile human being. I was in my mid-thirties when he first descended that gilded escalator. I’m now 45 and would like to use a palette that doesn’t include that orange makeup, blue suit, or red tie before I hit my fifties. Let your voice be heard and Make Brian Draw Farts Again!
There are positive reasons to vote FOR Harris-Walz, not just AGAINST Trump, but that’s enough for me. No one should waste time arguing with people who can’t stomach voting for whatever reason. The goal is to get out the vote (in swings states, the rest of us can pound sand), not win arguments online. If someone’s not budging, move on to someone who is. There’s less than two weeks left!

Campaign Closers
There’s still over two weeks left, and anything can happen, etc., but I’m voting early this weekend and ready for this to be over. And judging from Trump’s town-hall-turned-dance-party, so is he. They’ll still attempt to steal it, but if the coup has the same energy as their campaign events, it’ll be more funny than scary.
The Harris campaign is actually campaigning, and will be through election day. I’m hoping they stop kissing centrists’ butts immediately after, but for now, to avoid getting yelled at by people suffering from severe election anxiety, I won’t say anything else.

Congress’s Climate Quack
Marjorie Taylor Greene is saying more stupid, hateful shit, and it’s arguably not even the worst of the lies going around about the recent hurricanes and relief efforts. It’s especially demented to scapegoat innocent people when there are real humans to blame in the fossil fuel industry who’ve been denying what their own scientists have been saying about climate change for over forty years.
The climate crisis is here and now that denial won’t work, the conspiracy theories are going to do even more of the heavy lifting to stop what’s necessary to mitigate any of it; not to mention what they’ll do to otherize people forced to flee the next disaster or the countless ones that will follow.
Progress is being made though! The poorly named Inflation Reduction Act has done a lot to boost the already booming renewable energy industry. We just have to find a way to stop all those gains from going to A.I. so it can give dweebs a picture of Smurfette with big boobs.

Monster Influencers
It’s spooky season, on top of the permanent existential dread season we’re all living in. So I figured why not draw some fun ghouls instead of the be-wattled ones I usually do? Halloween is our best secular holiday season. It’s unfortunate that it frequently coincides with the worst/most important election of our lives.

V.P. Debate Preview
There are probably a dozen undecided voters whose fickle minds will be decided by Tuesday’s vice presidential debate. For everyone else, it will be a chance to goof on J.D. Vance some more.
Nothing Republicans have thrown at Tim Walz in return has stuck. He just comes across as a normal nice white guy, whose mere existence makes the weird and evil white guys look even worse by comparison.

Republican Stuntman Confronts His Fears
Republicans’ cruelty, greed, and ineptitude have been covered for years, with Tim Walz recently putting their weirdness in the national spotlight. But as the great political analyst Yoda once said, all this behavior originates from fear.
They are scaredy cats, whipping up their base of terrified suburbanites over imagined threats in order to win elections they know they can’t win on the merits. It would be one thing if they stayed in the bunkers while the rest of us live our lives, but they won’t rest until everyone’s as miserable as them.
I’d feel like I’m dating myself by referencing Evel Knievel or Super Dave, but Hot Rod came out this century, so I’m clinging to relevancy among the youths.
