| − | : I think you err if you think that "supports Israel against attackers" totally equates to "supports Israel's uncompromising attacks on others". And "Zionist" is such a loaded term, with {{w|Zionist antisemitism|various complications}}, with Kamala being no more this than is her primary opponent.
| |
| − | : Being consistently critical of one candidate by using a single word (e.g.. "fascist", for the other one) does not bode well for your appreciation of the many subtleties that make up anyone other than a cartoon hero/villain. Not that even the reality of the State Of Israel is simple (there are plenty of its citizen residents who decry their government's actions since/before last October, are they ''anti-''Zionist?), and even that is just a single relatively small mess in the much bigger mess that is the wider morass of foreign (and domestic) policy. By picking just one dogwhistle term (arguably in a very incorrect context) isn't helping whatever argument you're trying to make. All I get from this conversation is that you hate every candidate with any chance of winning (and most of those without, based upon their stated positions), without knowing what you are for. Employment? Social safety-nets? Smaller goverment? ''Better'' (define 'better'!) government? Who would you prefer to 'deal with' the issue of Ukraine, Taiwan, North Korea or countless other worldside issues out there?

| − | : You also elsewhere announced yourself as a Brit (as am I), so you don't have a vote and precious little actual influence. Even if you or I had any useful analysis to say about this issue, it seems that most people are already polarised in opinion and you or I (or, indeed, Randall) can do little but be performative about our current views. It is unlikely we could swing even one notable vote, although we might just push some of the partially polarised fully over (whichever way) into their pre-chosen preferences, excited or annoyed by such a single-issue outburst that they find themself vehemently agreeing or disagreeing with. (As a Brit, I'm frankly embarrassed by those who put up "this house is supporting the LibDem/Labour/Tory/SNP/whoever candidate" signs in their windows. I'd put up OMRLP ones, maybe, but I've never been able to vote that way, anyway, so can certainly say that I've actually never voted for them. Even if they sometimes seem the better choice.)

| − | : Furthermore, it has absolutely nothing to do with this comic (US geography, yes, US politics, no). I would heavily advise you to take this whole section out and place it all somewhere else. Perhaps your User Talk: area, so that you can wear your heartfelt antizionist (and perhaps no more) opinions on your sleeve without distracting from more relevent discussion, such as "Why is Idaho unlabeled" or "Why does everyone mississremember Mississippi's postostostal code?"

He forgot the Idaho abbreviation. Danger Kitty (talk)

Probably this is because I'm more familiar with the map of Australia than of the US, but Melbourne seems to have moved quite a bit to the east and is now presumably in Gippsland? Oddly that's the most jarring change for me... Zoid42 (talk) 20:26, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
- Yep. Melbourne Florida. 172.70.47.10 21:56, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
An eight-legged gator with fangs the size of your arm, six eyes, and the ability to spin webs is truly a horrifying thought. P?sych??otic?pot??at???o (talk) 21:07, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
- At that point most of the NT would become to dangerous for people to live. SomeRandomNerd (talk) 23:21, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
If find it weird how tasmania is florida, as while they are in the same place, they are the least alike 2 places you could think of. SomeRandomNerd (talk) 22:35, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed. If cartoons and television have taught me anything, one is home to a bunch of snarling, slobbering, ravenous beasts, moving across the landscape as whirlwinds of wanton destruction. And the other is Tasmania. 172.64.238.130 04:59, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
Part of the joke is that the contiguous 48 States plus DC have nearly the same area as Australia, though the US has a larger total area. 141.101.109.166 01:00, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
As an Australian citizen, this map hurts my soul. This is amazingly painful and I kinda love it. OmniDoom (talk) 01:36, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- I apparently now live in Adelaide/Louisiana (or New Orleans/South Australia). FourW (talk) 06:32, 17 October 2024 (UTC)FourW
