the level of visuals we're reduced to?

Makes as much sense as your post.

edited to add what I said up-thread:

It was obvious to me that UJ's post was a jaunty analogy to say that underdogs can and do win. An encouragement for us Bernie supporters. Bernie's candidacy would change the tone of the race, even if he doesn't win. Btw, you have a problem with cartoons being posted on DU too?
