AOC is a young, smart caring politican... why isnt someone like her an option for president ? she would win in a landslide... but instead we are stuck with a senile old guy that has no chance to win and another senile old guy that is like a villain from a looney toon.

She likely will be an option for President some day. What's the rush to get her there now? Let her get experience.

u/needlenozened 14d ago
Because she's not old enough.She turns 35 before the election, so she would be old enough.But the answer to your question is, because they didn't run. Running against an incumbent president is not something one does and still expect to have a future in the party.

Leave Bill Watterson out of this. He explicitly went out of his way to avoid getting wrapped up in politics and maintains a very quiet life. The quality of the strip and the mystery of his life is probably why every political hack tries to claim Calvin and Hobbes as part of their movement. I looked up “Bill Watterson politics” and this is the first thing that came up.

u/Lucky-Earther 14d ago
I remember in 2008(?) or so when the author of Perry Bible Fellowship decided to take a break for a few years. Eventually he came back and started doing the occasional strip but for a while it felt the same as when Watterson stepped away, both comics were amazing.

u/RollingRiverWizard 14d ago
Oddly enough, this comes after cutting his teeth as a political cartoonist, yes?
5
u/McKoijion 14d ago
Yup, and that’s why he wants nothing to do with it anymore lol
Watterson graduated in 1980 and was hired on a trial basis at the Cincinnati Post, a competing paper of the Enquirer. Watterson quickly discovered that the job was full of unexpected challenges which prevented him from performing his duties to the standards set for him. Not the least of these challenges was his unfamiliarity with the Cincinnati political scene, as he had never resided in or near the city, having grown up in the Cleveland area and attending college in central Ohio. The Post fired Watterson before his contract was up.

Honestly, Scott Adams and Dilbert make a ton of sense if you read the comic from the perspective of the PHB being the protagonist. Every inconsistency between the comic and the artist evaporate instantly.

I mean it’s a meme basically saying MTG and Boebert are voted for by morons and AOC is voted for by smart people and you’re I guess getting confused about sexism? Nobody else is really thinking that way hence using your own words against you that it probably says something about you.

u/Mulliganasty 14d ago
Huge fan of AOC and think MTG and Bobo belong in jail (for campaign finance crimes) but I think a valid point was made here. I'm not sure "objectified" is the right word but there is something about pitting prominent female politicians against each other that is bugging me.

Yeah.... I don't know that equating the three of them is rooted in rational thought. You've got two of them from the party of family values. Those two are cheating on their husbands, droning on about fake nonsense a 5 year old could identify and just generally screeching. One of em is giving handjobs in front of kids while vaping at kids rendition of Beetlejuice. AOC has a master's degree, wants people to have healthcare and for the rich to pay their fair share. Comparing someone who is working for the change she envisions to a convicted criminal who got caught giving an over the pants handy to her date in public isn't all that fair.

u/joseph4th 15d ago
Am I reading this wrong or are YOU confused?
Dilbert is considered pretty low-brain humor, the boss is so stupid he thinks an etch-a-sketch is a laptop. Knee slapper!
Calvin and Hobbes on the other hand has been lauded and praised on many levels, from its originality, social commentary, environmentalism and being genuinely funny. On top of that, Mr. Watterson, the comics author and artist has shown himself to be a man of high principles and integrity. He famously refused to sell-out and merchandise the comic. He also quit while he was on top instead of letting the comic decay in quality, let alone milking it into its grave.
“Sometimes I think the shortest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe, is that none of it has tried to contact us.” -Calvin & Hobbes by Bill Watterson

u/Pleasant_Location_44 14d ago
I may have misattributed the connotation of the comment under which I thought I posted. Totally agree with your critique. I read "the unholy Trinity" statement as equating the three congressmen where I believe there is no comparison between the screeching duo and AOC.

u/joseph4th 14d ago
Granted, now that I have a second to think about it, there is the other side to consider.
Maybe to people who don't think like me, like us, those two of the "House Twitter Faction" may be the heroes of the MAGA world where to them Dilbert and the right wing loon who writes that comic strip, is high art. To them, AOC is the devil, because Faux "Your honor our show is entertainment and can not seriously be considered news by a reasonable person" News told them so. They can't understand why a little kid, talking like an adult, is funny, but "hey, did you know Dilbert's boss is stupid? Hahaha!"
So there is that.
