This comic is designed under a sane ethical framework, which places responsibility for the success or failure of a party on the people who actually hold power within the party. It's told from the framework of party leaders, holding them accountable for their failures. It's punching up rather than punching down. What options were available at the ballot box, as we're not talking about voters, we're talking about leaders here. Don't try and cover up for corrupt leaders by blaming the voters.

Yea, that's right. To add: the argument that focuses on voters' individual behavior ignores the system within which they make their choices i.e. gerrymandering, private political parties, FPTP, winner takes all, Citizens United, Super PACs etc. It is a very low-IQ take to place the blame solely on the voters, and those unelected, unaccountable people who design the rules of the system would like everyone to have that take.

This doesn't answer who is that Dem presidential candidate who isn't in Israel's pocket… perhaps Paperboy Love Prince?
