1. Perfect !! nt

[question everything]

3. Thank you. If we cannot laugh at ourselves we are in trouble

And it is not as if there have not been many posts on this topic.

21. I love Baaaah-eto! He sure can rock that onesie!

And anyone who reports this OP is being ridiculous.

[MustLoveBeagles]

40. I was trying to lighten the mood

I don't think it worked but I'm glad you liked the video. I agree with you about the alert on this thread. I would feel the same way if someone alerted on the Amy cartoon that was posted here. Political cartoons are fair game in my opinion.

And your right. Beto totally rocks a onesie!

And so, it begins.

12. Of course.

6. Great cartoon

[Cha]

13. I think so.. on many levels.

[Cha]

11. Haha!

Good on ya for posting it, question Everything!

[robbedvoter]

14. Watch for that cartoonist to be doxxed, attacked by NYT, Intercept and bros

with MAGA ferocity

[question everything]

15. This cartoonist is really an old timer. A pulitzer prize winner

and his works -mostly about Trump - have been posted here many times. Anyone trying to "dox?, what is it? - will appear pathetic.


Here is one example

31. My post was hardly a critique of the cartoonist. CAP ia slo a bona fide progressive

institution. Also, Planned Parenthood, HRC.

[artislife]

16. Amy's supporters just as nice as she is. nt

[question everything]

17. If you can't take the heat...

[artislife]

19. I can take it, I take here all the time

Did you love the cartoon about Amy.


One of my older Democratic friends who posts about unity had only one thing to say about Amy. And it was about how she treated her staff. Oh well.

[question everything]

22. This is really pathetic. By all polls and surveys "Bermie" is way aheard of Amy

yet you feel the need to belittle her.

I have pointed here several times the similarity between Trump and Sanders in 2016: both appealed to the "forgotten" in rural America who felt left by the "elite." And when Sanders did not win the nomination, many of his supporters -now confirmed at 12% - voted for the next best thing.

Now, it appears that, both Trump, and, at least Sanders' supporters, suffer from lack of self esteem, feel the need to respond to whatever they see a slight.

Oh, and Senator Klobuchar is a Democrat, always has been a Democrat.

End of discussion from my side.

[artislife]

23. No just laughing at a funny cartoon

just a different one from the same cartoonist.

I guess you hate Warren and HRC, since they haven't always been a Democrat.

[Blue_true]

18. I thought the cartoon was clever and funny.

People have to be able to laugh things like that off.

[artislife]

20. See their cartoon on Amy

It is hilarious!


And true, by most accounts.

[Blue_true]

32. I think that people get so wrapped up in their candidate of choice,

that they can't laugh at and then blow off gentle digs at views held by that candidate. Over the years of my life, I have viewed political cartoons that I both agreed with and didn't like, but if they were funny, O laughed and then thought about the message that was being given.

[artislife]

37. The real point

Is if I had created an OP with the cartoon of Amy, it would have caused wrath and a hide.


People would have said things like "eating our own", "don't give the Republicans fodder", "post something positive about YOUR candidate" "paid Bots signing up just to cause divisiveness" etc.

But it doesn't.

Not here.

Maybe Skinner knows there needs a bit of tension to create lots of posts?

Just remember folks, Bernie is not in the one percent like Amy or Jay--who I would vote for in a heartbeat. I HAVE voted for in other elections.

[Blue_true]

38. Amy is worth less than Bernie. Inslee may be worth a lot less than Bernie.

But I get your basic message. There is a thin line between vetting and attacking. People need to remain aware of that line because if that doesn't happen, there are going to be deep riff between people that share political views heading into the Fall of 2020, and that is good for no one but Trump.

I must admit that I am not a Bernie supporter by any stretch, but if Bernie wins the party nomination, the only way that I won't vote for Bernie in the General is for me to be dead before General Election voting starts in my state.

[artislife]

39. This has been my basic message

since logging back onto this site.

I am remembering that at one point last election, I was so triggered by this site I thought about voting for Stein. I could have since WA is deep blue.


But I did not.



I just try to remember that new voters are not coming here so they will not read this divide here. I come to this conclusion because what I have seen is all the new members seem predominently for the other old guy and that doesn't jibe with what I think the young ones are looking for.

[comradebillyboy]

28. I like Amy and I like her supporters too.

They are all good Democrats.

24. I wish he had more money.

If he did perhaps he could self fund.

[Indygram]

25. I'm actually wondering if his campaign showing up in the Mueller report surrounded by redactions

Is going to have a negative impact on his fund raising. I'm more of a pretty left leaning moderate so he's not my cup of tea, but if someone I supported showed up in the Mueller report I don't know how I would feel about sticking with them, but that may just be me.

[floppyboo]

36. showing up in a report as a victim? Like Anita Hill? Christine Blasey Ford?

This is a reason not to stick with them? Confused.

[lunamagica]

26. I love it!

[Rollo]

27. All this hubbub over Bernie's worth mystifies me...

He's apparently got a net worth of $2.5 million.

This is chump change compared to real wealth of the 1%. Compared to that of the entitled American oligarchy.

It's a non-issue.

[comradebillyboy]

29. I don't begrudge Bernie his windfall. His modest wealth is the

least of his sins.

[BannonsLiver]

30. Awesome!

[Honeycombe8]

33. I'm no Sanders supporter, by a long shot. But to be fair...

To be fair, the 1%-ers have a LOT more money than $1M or $2M net worth. They have MANY millions and into the billions.

Many middle class people have a net worth of $2M: a retirement account, a taxable account, a savings account, a paid-off middle class home, two paid-off middle cars, no debt = a high net worth. But they are middle class. Their retirement account + Social Security has to last for the rest of their lives.

[lillypaddle]

34. There are plenty of reasons

I can't stand BS, but his writing a book & making some money isn't one of them. That's just silly.
