Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Those unrealistic idealists are so frustrating to argue with. Is this a great first step? YES! Can we do more? Also YES.

Take the win, and use that momentum to drive mode change. Trying to go from 0 to 100 in one step is just not realistic.

There's a difference between a start and means testing tho...

Those same moderates like to use means testing to erode away support for more, and to get the people who don't make the cut to vote against it.

It's how moderates have been opposing universal healthcare for over 80 years.

Social Security was supposed to be a temporary compromise to help the neediest while the government worked out the wrinkles for universal healthcare that was for everyone.
