[looking smug] But we negotiated that you can have longer and more comfortable chains this time around

[dropped the rose, still looking smug] We truly are defenders of the people

    Still don’t understand why these comics get ao many downvotes, this one us clearly about qhen “Radical Cemtrists” and free market liberals who claim to be leftwing compromise with faacists and right wing nutters.

      It’s the title for me. If they had called it “radical centrist” or “free market liberals” then sure, the comic lands.

      “Moderate left” is a conservative ‘gotcha’ used anytime someone from the left gets violent, or acts out in the same ways the right frequently do.

      Here’s a few reasons:

      • Not funny

      • Not nuanced

      • Bad art

      • Comes off as smug/condescending (author)

      • Makes fun of/disparages broad groups of people

      • Assigns positions that people don’t agree with to labels they identify with.

      Etc. Etc.
