This site is intended to explain the technical details and inspirations (perhaps humorous) behind the comics. This particular page is for Discussion/Talk about the particular comic in question, which will involve some personal overviews and meta-discussion. But it is not the ideal place to reproduce the wi(l)der issue of public opinion, which the actual political process will eventually establish, and many other public forums and outlets exist in which you can convey your own current leanings/observations on the whole election-related happenings. Please be |
Another really timely comic. Biden just dropped out of the race and endorsed Harris yesterday. Barmar (talk) 01:58, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Forget Biden, Hillary and Obama. This is the endorsement that counts. 172.68.23.199 01:58, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
I suppose no one is allowed to say that the upper right circle is mislabeled. It was supposed to say incompetent, dishonest and despicable. 162.158.90.25 02:07, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- You're allowed to say it, but then we're allowed to suggest (with rather more emperical proof) that her presumptive opponent better fits your rewording. How about we all just don't try to re-run the old arguments (or pre-run the upcoming election) in that sort of tone, eh?
- (To be clear, Randall has made positive comments to his favoured candidate, rather than stooping to arbitrarily attacking their opponent. If you can't at least be as positive in your own convictions then it's really not going to help your cause.) 172.69.195.6 04:10, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- First, Harris has more than one opponent, not just within her own party, but in the general election to follow if she’s nominated. Second, the many good qualities of my favo[u]red candidate are irrelevant to this comic, so I didn’t mention her. Third, I didn’t start this political discussion; Randall did, by making a refutable claim in his comic. Lastly, there’s nothing arbitrary about a resident of California pointing out facts about the former attorney general of California that people in other states, such as Massachusetts, might be completely ignorant of. 162.158.186.253 05:45, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- You could say it, but then the box which says 'Kamala Harris' is mislabeled and 'Donald Trump' should be placed in the box above the middle one. Jaap-Jan (talk) 07:19, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Also by saying the first circle is mislabeled you also say Randall is all those things. And if you feel that way, then remember you are free to NOT read his comics... I'm always on Randall's side in politics it seems, but I'm from another country, so I wont vote for any presidential candidates even if Randall was on the ballot ;-) I won't say more here now... --Kynde (talk) 13:22, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Note the difference between “upper right” and “upper left.” 172.70.207.198 21:11, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Well Kamala, you had a good run. Randall has the touch of death when it comes to picking political candidates. 162.158.154.39 03:02, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- You mean that no candidate endorsed by XKCD has ever won? ;) https://xkcd.com/2383/ Fabian42 (talk) 04:35, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Randall was smart enough to not make a comic endorsing Joe *before* he got elected like he did with Hilldawg and (now) Kamala.162.158.154.31 11:36, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Not so; Randall endorsed Obama in 2008. -insert valid name here- (talk) 15:09, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe Randall secretly wants Kamala to lose and is doing 5D chess. 172.69.130.122 16:04, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
Randall angling for VP? Alcatraz ii (talk) 02:59, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
I think Randall would be good president. -- Hkmaly (talk) 03:52, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Meh, he seems to at least not be good at public speaking. And from what he says about himself, he would be distracted way too easily. Fabian42 (talk) 04:35, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- I, as an Epsilon Eridani native, think he would be a spectacular president, but his research priorities would swiftly result in false vacuum decay, so please, for the sake of the universe, please do not elect him. 172.70.214.218 20:55, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
The layout of this Venn diagram reminds me of https://xkcd.com/112/ 162.158.166.234 (talk) 03:04, 23 July 2024 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
I think I would probably swap the two. 162.158.174.23 04:03, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
I would be very interested in which non-Politicians Randall would put into the top middle section. Fabian42 (talk) 04:35, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- People eligible to be president who would make a good president but aren't politicians? I would be much more interested in who he would list in the right middle section, that is, people who would make good presidents and love Venn diagrams, but are ineligible. --172.69.6.133 03:42, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
I guess Munroe has no issues with questions about ongoing U.S. backed genocides shrugged off with "shrimp and grits!"? -- Markifi (talk) 05:39, 23 July 2024 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
What really strikes me is that the USA have a (de facto) 2-Party system and still go so much into personal attacks and endorsements, etc. which in my mind could be the decision-making bit between 2 similiar parties in a multi-party system, or 2 equally sympathic parties to me. But in my mind a 2-party system should at least have the upside of actually discussing policy, and voters deciding based on that... --Lupo (talk) 06:30, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
If Randall was in charge he could stop supplying weapons to Israel probably 172.69.195.63 10:16, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Re: the mouseover text: "I am more of a deficit sugar glider" ought to be in the running. 172.69.58.157 12:42, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
personally I'd put most candidates either the top left 172.69.58.24 17:34, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Neat. A Euler diagram (and no, Venn cannot just have this one). 172.71.158.226 (talk) 18:18, 23 July 2024 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- Quite! Venn called his diagrams "Euler circles." 172.71.151.137 22:09, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
I think the 'eligible' topic is related to a campaign against Harris saying she isn't eligible because she's not american enough. This (fake) news was reposted in France by french Trump's fans. 172.69.225.223 (talk) 20:36, 23 July 2024 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
_sigh_ I was about to come in here and suggest that we don't do the obvious political battle here but then I realized I'd be up all night because someone was WRONG on the internet 386: Duty Calls! Tomb (talk) 21:21, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
I, too, have rather strong political opinions that absolutely nobody here cares about. But I also wanted to extend a heartfelt thank-you to the person who put the cautionary banner to not make the main article into a debate platform. I hope its presence becomes a staple of articles on all forthcoming controversial comics, as we commence our quadrennial plunge into the bubbling muck of American election season. -MeZimm 172.68.34.59 21:41, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Would it be a good idea to include a link to the actual United States Constitution in regard to the Presidential eligibility section? In other words, I'm wondering if it would be preferable to link directly to a primary source of information as opposed to a tertiary source like Wikipedia? Either way, I have a link to the document on the Congress.gov website for those who may want to have a read. OmniDoom (talk) 00:13, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

It has been decided. As per the edict of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the problems with Kamala Harris are: (1) Her laugh is weird. And, (2) she loves Venn diagrams. Let the games begin! We shall focus on the two issues Americans do care about: swine flue and fracking. 172.68.23.200 22:18, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
