Critics to Ignore

https://jensorensen.com/2024/08/28/2024-elections-dnc-pundits-cartoon/

Published: August 28, 2024 17:05

The Democratic convention speeches I watched were very good, and full of intelligent reframing — especially the emphasis on freedom. I’ve seen some strange criticism of the theme of “joy” that several wove into their speeches. If you’re finding fault with…

Vance, Friend to Women

https://jensorensen.com/2024/08/07/vance-women-cat-ladies-cartoon/

Published: August 7, 2024 20:34

Most people have heard about Vance’s “childless cat ladies” comment, but did you know he has used it on multiple occasions, and rudely insulted people who don’t have kids at least 13 other times, including in fundraising emails? He’s called childless…

Weirdo Welfare

Published: August 1, 2024 03:16

I’m fully on board with the trend of calling these far-right extremists “weird,” as the Harris campaign has savvily been doing. This is the marginalization of fascism that should have been happening all along, instead of the normalization we’ve been seeing…

Ad-Vance-ing an Extreme Agenda

Vance has, in fact, endorsed a national ban in plainer language than this. Rolling Stone reports that in a 2022 podcast interview he said: “I certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally,” Vance said in the episode, explaining why regulating…

Lowering the Temperature

I thought it was time for another appearance of the Flaming Conservative. But I need to start calling him something else because the word “conservative” no longer fits. Don’t call this movement authoritarian, though! Shortly after the assassination…

Podcast interview

https://jensorensen.com/2024/07/11/podcast-interview-2/

Published: July 11, 2024 19:34

I recently did a lengthy interview with Geoff Grogan’s Blockhead podcast, which focuses on comics creators. We talked about politics a lot! The interview was conducted on the weekend after the presidential debate and Supreme Court’s Chevron ruling. Apple…

Supreme Debacle

https://jensorensen.com/2024/07/04/supreme-court-chevron-overruled-cartoon/

Published: July 4, 2024 18:37

The Supreme Court ruling overturning the Chevron doctrine was largely overlooked in the wake of the debate, but possibly even more apocalyptic. In short, the Republican majority gutted the precedent that gave deference to scientists and other experts at…

A Smaller Tent

https://jensorensen.com/2024/07/04/progressives-democratic-party-2024-cartoon/

Published: July 4, 2024 18:16

In my experience, Dems do better when they at least acknowledge the concerns of different factions of the Big Tent. In 2004, during the height of Iraq war jingoism, they were at their milquetoast Republican-lite worst — and Kerry lost to Bush. This era was…
