A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.
Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.
There is only one rule:*
Comic Books is a no judgement zone.
You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.
If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.
* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(
I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

Yes, that is the thing we are talking about.
So you do understand that if the popular vote was the thing that mattered and not the electoral college, Trump would’ve lost in 2016?
Yes,. that is why I said:
Do you have a brain injury?
You seem to.
What the fuck are you trying to argue? My point for the entire time has been that unlike modern first world democracies, the US uses indirect elections, ie the electoral college. This is a massive problem in democracy for the US and luckily, it can be circumvented entirely through state legislation without any need for involvement of the federal government.
Your counter-argument has been "WYYAAA WYYAAA WYAAAA". Not really clear what you're trying to say with that, so please, do elaborate.
I was the one who brought up the Electoral College at the start of this thread, not you.
Aye, you did.
You wrote that as if you were being sarcastic, but what you don't realise is that it is what is happening and the fact that the US has indirect elections and still thinks of itself as the bastion of democracy is pretty ludicrous.

tldr I don't think you know what "indirect election" means
