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.

No you aren't. You're being told that this is all that's happening, but you aren't going to look for yourself.
To be fair, we should not have to look. Aren't these people spending money on a campaign?
Yes-- campaigns that involve influencing people's opinions with covert guerrilla campaigns across social media with no accountability. Among the other shady tactics in their playbooks.
Proof please? I've been enjoying the dark brandon ads myself
If you aren't seeing the campaign because they aren't reaching you, you still aren't seeing this, and just being told what to think.
You're basically reiterating my point, but somehow appear to be excusing being a sheep.
What? I never said I don't seek the truth. I said I shouldn't have to. #bothsides and the rhetoric in the comic are stupid.
If you claim the campaign is saying something, but openly admit the campaign is not reaching you, then you are doing exactly what I said: not looking for yourself and just parroting what you were told the are saying.
The campaign is not reaching me through advertising, but I am reaching the campaign through Google.
The glue eating search engine?
Mmmm yummy
Wtf are you even talking about? I'm so confused.
This isn't difficult. The Biden campaign is not saying what the OP is claiming they "see a lot of," he has provided plenty of platform and has seemingly gone out of his way to me minimize mentioning trump (although I expect that the change). The claim that it's happening a lot is just mindlessly parroting a talking points being fed to them.
What don't you understand about this?
You seem to be under the impression that I agree with the OP...?
So it was just a pointless comment that had nothing to do with the point.
Does my comment have to fall in line with your point to be useful? I wasn't aware I was in the presence of the sole person reaponsible for determining the course of the discussion, it's an honor to meet you.
It doesn't have to fall in line to be useful. But I suggest that if you are jumping in to challenge a point you make it clear that your point has nothing to do with the point being made. Most people are going to respond to things considering the context.
You assumed I was challenging your point. I was simply adding to the discussion.
