Toon: Charge of the Snooze Brigade

[MattSh]

Here's something I've been working on, and I hope to do it weekly.

Even if I was in the US right now, I'd be avoiding things like phone banking or writing letters, or other such monotony. It just grates on me too much. I think I've recognized for a while that I'm more of a creative person, though I haven't been following up on that nearly as much as I should have. So I guess this is to make amends for that, to help Bernie if possible, and maybe even influence the election this November, at least in some small way.

Having said all that, this is just an initial effort, so things aren't a progressed as I would like them to be. But if I were to wait until I was 90% satisfied, then the year would likely be 90% over by then. So, I'd like some feedback from you all. Do you like it? Don't like it? Like the name? Hate the name? Needs work? How? Ideas? Suggestions?

Oh. There's no "Splainin" website yet either.

3. Thanks for posting this...

Looks like I annoyed someone who can't stand any criticism of their candidate Hillary.

Too bad...

4. You can do your next piece based on the alert on this one.

OK, kind of in-jokey, but it is pretty funny.

5. What do you call this?

Negative, snarky garbage like this against Hillary belongs on free republic, NOT on DU.

Irony? Do these people have a total disconnect about what gets posted here about Bernie and his supporters?

Anyway, I thought it was very funny and absolutely true. Well, okay, I don't think she actually wants change, but she can see the kind of people that would support her.
