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.

Meet the Election Animals
With less than two months until the election, “Shut up and vote!” season is in full swing. Any legitimate criticism of the Harris campaign will be met with shrieks of “Why do you want to Trump to win?!”
The campaign managed the transition on such a short timeframe very well, except for Harris’s abysmal handling the current administration’s (which she’s a part of!) handling of the nearly year-long genocide in Gaza. Atrocities keep being revealed and met with shrugs. Not having a single Palestinian speak at the DNC was certainly a choice. Maybe ignoring them is the best political strategy, but it’s not the moral one.
Not that I’m some brave truth-teller. I could’ve done a whole cartoon about it instead of hedging my bets with only one panel tucked into the middle of a comic.

Swing Voters Explain Themselves
The midterms are rapidly approaching and the polls between “fascists” and “milquetoast not-fascists” are closer than they should be. The mainstream press loves a horserace, even when the consequences are life and death for millions of people. Gaffes are easier to report (and draw) than all the mechanisms Republicans are going to use to end what little democracy we have left if given control of Congress once more.
But get your “I Voted.” sticker anyway. These idiots will.

The Extended Groundhog Forecast
We’re about to get a nor’easter this weekend, so I’m not optimistic about what the groundhog’s gonna say next week. In fact, I’m not optimistic about anything, except that I’ll get to go snowshoeing this weekend.

Ron DeSantis’s Emotional Support Police
Taking a break from pointing out Democrats are beefing it again to point out Republicans are still evil.
While letting deaths pile up to blame on Democrats this fall, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is doing lots of dumb stunts to whip up the base, and literally whip anyone who’s not his base.

Texas Vigilantes
Mitch McConnell’s Supreme Court gutted Roe v. Wade in Texas and will soon do it in other states. Democrats are still insisting the only thing to be done is to vote. Voters busted their asses to give them a trifecta so they could pack the courts, and codify abortion rights into law RIGHT NOW, but they’d rather have the fundraising boogeyman to run against than do something useful.

Georgia’s Voting Wrongs Act
Kemp’s getting the spotlight, but Republican governors and legislatures are pulling this stuff across the country. End the filibuster and pass the “For the People Act” before it’s too late.

Mitch & Filibuster’s Senate Games
Besides being the right thing to do, ending the filibuster will make Mitch sad, and that’s enough for me.
Skee ball last week, arcade nostalgia this week. I think I need a trip to Funspot in New Hampshire once I’m all vax’d up.
