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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

but like... if everyone is saying "don't vote third party", and the amount of third party votes significantly drops as a result, isn't this what the result would look like?
There is a term for the act of only looking for evidence that confirms your bias. If the "strategy" worked, then why isn't Kamala Harris president?
And if that wasn't the goal of the strategy, what point is it that you think was being made in the first place?
i have no idea what the strategy of the us democratic party was, I'm just reflecting on what i've on social media over the past month or so (a constant barrage of "don't vote third party") and comparing it to the results (very few people voting third party). of course there's no way to know how much of that was due to said barrage, but we can for sure say that the people telling people to vote third party failed.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the leftists who switched to voting Democratic this election were dwarfed by the Democrats who didn't vote or even voted for Trump.
So they succeeded at what they were trying to do, but it was of negligible benefit.
probably. the actual demographics shifts don't make it over here, only the final numbers.
