Prickly City by Scott Stantis for May 13, 2022

Until the people hear what Libertarianism is, that is.

Like Elisabeth Warren told Joe Biden to his face: You can’t campaign on what you won’t do.

Reagan’s words have had decades now to show that they do not work.

Trickle down doesn’t work. Never has. Never will.

As for government „being“ the problem? Well, right now, it appears that the private sector is just not interested in solving problems, either.

And I’m not sure I can trust Elon Musk with electric cars anymore.

Like Chic-Fil-A, his politics are speaking louder than his products.

(Yes, yes, an entrepreneur can express his political preferences; what he cannot do is avoid public reaction to them)

Can’t be too difficult, how many doors in Carmen’s district…

Won’t work.

You have to have a billionaire oligarch. They pay Fox ‘news’ and other parts of the right wing media. They provide lies about every issue and provide hatred of your opponent. And you get elected.

That’s how it works.

Did this comic run already?

That’s what AOC did. Knocked on doors. Beat a 20-year Congressman who was Chair of the House Democratic Caucus. It’s hugely effective in small elections where a few thousand votes determines the winner.

People are going to feel a lil’ nervous, when they see that 35-year-old Winnebago parked in their hood.

Believe it or not, that is how aoc was originally elected.

It Has Been A Good Day!

Have any of y’all made note of good ol’ Libertarian Rand Paul blocking aid to Ukraine?

This post is primarily directed to braindead (gee, I wish you would rename yourself—-you seem to be a pretty smart fellow). Anyway—-during the last few hours, I have reread your reply to my post replying to one of yours. My reply here is simple. I try to make the best effort for me in any and all circumstances relating to the “politics of the day”. I mind my own business and move on with my life—-and again, simply make the best decisions in my own behalf as the circumstances dictate. There are some politicians I would never never vote for under any guise or promise. I do not like them one damm bit —-goes for all sides. I kind of look at all politicians as “crooks”. In my estimation there have been 3 presidents for whom I had great admiration. That span covers the last past 90 some odd years. My all time favorite was John F. Kennedy.
