…or Democracy Gets It!

By mike flugennockMonday - December 3rd, 2018Categories: elections, media, Party Animals

Apropos of nothing, I suppose… just coming up for air after wrapping up a big-ass fun design gig for a friend’s cannabis start-up that’s launching next year – and seeing all the Donuts on Twitter, bitching about all the Leftists who aren’t voting Democratic, and often staying home altogether.

In case you haven’t noticed, the smell of 2020 is already in the air – the Left-punching Donut accounts are out punching the Left, the Sanders-punching Donuts are out punching Bernie, and they’re all out pimping the Democratic Party because… democracy. Basically, if you’re not voting Democratic, you hate Democracy™.

The Donuts are all real gung-ho for the exercise of democracy n’shit, but then when you actually vote your values, like vote Green or Socialist or something – that is, actually participate in friggin’ democracy – they get their panties in a twist because you didn’t vote for the goddamn Democrat, even though the Democrat in the race also sucked on toast.

Blue Wave no.3: Pukin’ Blue, No Matter Who

Welp… I’ve finally nailed it down. Between Ocasio-Cortez waffling on Palestine, Andrew Gillum flip-flopping on Medicare For All, all the ex-CIA types running as Democrats and all the doorknobs screaming “vote Blue, no matter who”, I think I’ve finally figured out what the Blue Wave is going to be: the Democratic Party choking to death on its own vomit.

It’s Da’ Bomb!

So, this is how it ends – not with a whimper, but with a bang.

All year, we’ve heard all manner of cocky smack talk out of the Democrats about a “Blue Wave” and how they’re going to sweep back into a majority on the Hill… but here we are less than two weeks out, and suddenly they’re getting all jittery and revising expectations downward, it seems. In the past couple of weeks or so, the cocky talk has been replaced by increased amounts of desperate scolding, hectoring, pleading, shaming, browbeating, practically screaming at us to vote.

Mind you, the Democrats haven’t given us anyone or anything to vote for since about 1972, and nowhere was this fact more glaring than in the past twenty-odd years since Bill’n’Hillary showed up and sucked all the oxygen out of the place.

So, here they are now, with no real record of progressive achievement in the past thirty years to point to, no real vision of a better future, pretty much nothing except to run against Russia and constantly scream at us to vote all friggin’ day and night.

…and, while inspired by the Post headline, here’s the song that was stuck in my head as I drew this; everybody has sappy old tunes they love in spite of themselves, and this is one of mine:
