God, this fucking debate has been going on for decades with you nerds. Bieb or Hannah there's no right answer, use whichever works best for you!

It must be so weird for Drew (the guy from Giant Bomb in the meme) to browse the internet every day lol!

You're blaming the wrong people. Being sensitive of triggers is a good thing, advertisers are the problem.

If you look into the history of radio & television, you'll see the same pattern. Like the internet, at first they were an awesome medium anyone could use and all kinds of badass stuff happened. Over time everything became consolidated & advertisers insisted on censoring for maximum efficiency.

Oof, I can feel this cartoonist's struggle to communicate everything in one panel lol. Nicely done though.

That's not true, I've overworked lots of pieces!

No? I think I see what you mean, but the States all have equal power in the Senate so its more like tug-of-war and coalition building.

Again, imo, the House is really where California's 500 pound Gorilla status should come into play but the cap means tiny States hold disproportionately waaaaaaay too much sway. The Reds should not currently control the House, not even close.

Thank you. My Bachelors of Science is in Fine Arts specializing in printmaking so, believe me, I'm more than familiar with those kinds of artists.

I just disagree.

The Senate is where the States have equal representation regardless of size, that's the point of it. The House is meant to be where California's population makes the difference, but the cap needs to be removed, imo.

Without a Senate, the most populous states drag everyone else around by sheer weight. That's not sustainable.

Also, as someone who has experienced life in both rural and urban America, city people have lots of misunderstandings about how people in small communities live and make bad decisions based on those misunderstandings as well. It's not like country folk have a monopoly on that shit.

EDIT: Just want to acknowledge the point I think you're trying to make about minority (often religiously motivated) groups passing laws that affect huge populations in cities where we have to live with each other. I totally get it, just to be clear.
