Wow, Ted, this is thoughtlessness to you? At least these folks are thinking of something that benefits them, if even in a small way. Hershel Walker may win the election just because he was a great football player. Never mind that he’s stupid, irresponsible, lying and totally without merit. The same was true of Dump. He was a successful television personality, never mind that he is/was stupid, irresponsible, lying and failure six times over of being the great business man he claimed.
What you should be concerned about isn’t the thoughtlessness of a few of the Dem supporters, but the massive thoughtlessness of the Repub supporters that still support Dump and his party, who still believe the ’20 election was stolen from them and will drag the nation down to a civil war and the death that will ensue.
I wonder if you’re not a Dump supporter, too while you attack the Dem’s for being the party that cares for the nation as a whole.
Without a strong presence of young zealous altruistic idealists in politics … we are doomed to be governed by a status quo of those who seek power and glory for themselves, exclusively.
I, for one, absolutely enjoy having to fill out a form and prove my income level over the last few years in order to receive an ostensibly “universal benefit” from the government. /s
Republicans would increase the interest rate for elitist students and give life sentences for holding any amount of pot. Way to campaign for Donald Trump Ted.
6500 pardons would be about 0.4% of the TOTAL U.S. prison population, not of people convicted for pot possession. It’s closer to 20% of those in prison for pot. And he can’t pardon the rest as the aren’t federal prisoners. He’s President, not Dictator-for-life.https://www.lastprisonerproject.org/cannabis-prisoner-scale
The trouble with Ted Rall is he spends so much time pointing out that everyone and everything is defective, that he fails to realize that it is more important to support those who try to make the world better and fall short, than to throw up our hands and saying it’s not worth trying at all.

So, Ted prefers the party that will take away the rights from everyone, but some white men?

Mr. Rallnseeming ignores that there is a very slim Dem majority in Congress. Measures which he would support would never pass.

Poor Teddy is looking for relevance in all the wrong places.

This is a hilarious and thought-provoking cartoon.

This cartoon is impossible to not like. And, by the way, “If there’s hope, it lies in the Proles”.
Apologies to Winston Smith

“It’s the thoughlessness that counts.”
Nope. I dis-count Rall’s thoughtlessness.
Time was (how long ago?), I thought that many of Ted’s cartoons were thought-provoking, but now they seem only to be hate-provoking.

It’s better than giving (83%) of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 to (1%) of the American population.

This is the Republican version of “I’d rather look at the finger instead of where it’s pointing”.

Baby steps, but better than sprinting in the wrong direction, as we did for four recent years.

If he did more, American voters would throw a fit and toss out the Democrats. It’s not Biden’s fault we don’t want a nice country to live in.

I despise republicans but democrats never fail to underwhelm. You’d think they were trying to lose.
