    Ha Ha Ha! There is no such thing as far left in the United States. There’s Far Far Far Right, which is the direction the GOP has been moving over the past 30-40 years, but there’s no such thing as far left. AOC is moderate at most — not asking us to do anything that most wealthy countries don’t already do.

    Ooooh, scary! A habitable planet where vampire millionaires and billionaires don’t get to suck the life out of working folk, and where health care and jobs are not so linked as to give bosses the power of life and death over their workers (like in the good old days before the 60s—the 1860s).

    Biden is a radical? the guy that wrote the 1996 crime bill and was willing to work with everybody to do the work of the American people.

    Gary did the Right wing fascists help you draw this?

    The Koch brothers have way more influence in the lives of Americans that do the Left wing.

    Don’t you think it’s telling that all of your villains are all elected representatives? Americans chose them for their polices!

    What are your credentials?

    Corporations pose a much greater threat to America than ‘socialism’. History is replete with behavior ranging from callous negligence to outright criminality, often with government complicity.

    Varvie, of course, never read L. Frank Baum.

    There are subtexts involving bankers and politicians that read like they were from the Grange and IWW movements

    Is it far left to want Americans to have the same level of health care the rest of the industrial nations of this world have? Then I guess I’m a leftist. The real point the right is making is that they want everything for themselves with no regard for the rest of society.

    Maybe Trump’s Mother actually did read him a bedtime story once. A real scary one with flying monkeys and Witches that hunted down little girls with a dog. No wonder he never owned a dog.

    By inference this cartoon is saying that Trump is the wicked witch…which is apt. The flying monkeys were exactly like the Republican party nowadays.

    The GOP playbook never changes. In the ‘50s the message of fear was "don’t elect Democrats because they’re all commies".

    First off, they are hardly radicals. Kamala Harris, for example, could run for the conservatives In just about any country. Nobody is talking about overthrowing business or billionairs, just making them pay something closer to their fair share of taxes. They are, however, committed to restoring democracy in USA. Is that what you mean by radical?

    Seriously? there is a sizable group of liberals who think Biden is a cooperate conservative. I miss the good old days where a Kenyan born, Islamic radical trained, Manchurian Candidate stole the Presidency with the plan to close churches, seize guns, stop future elections and then round up good white people into re-education centers. This just has no pizzazz.

    Varvel is against healthcare and a clean environment?

    Republicans love destroying the environment and taking away health care and the post office and your right to vote.

    I live in Canada, where we have a universal single payer health insurance system. Every major country on the planet except for the US has some kind of universal coverage. This is what Varvel considers far left?!?!?!? Something that everyone else takes for granted?!?!?!? And the horror of a plan to save us from climate change!!!! Gosh, that would be terrible.

    To Varvel, MontanaBill, and some others, anything left of Joseph McCarthy is a “radical leftist”. They must have been educated(?) at Hannity-Carlson grade school.

    Harris is definitely very liberal, and she still frightens me less than Trump does. Republicans are opening the door wide for a liberal left takeover, because they have only a deranged, incompetent bully as an alternative.

    Just a separate question: why are “socialism” “green new deal” and “medicare for all” separate things? Bernie was called a socialist for supporting Medicare for All, which Harris also now supports. AOC’s Green New Deal includes Medicare for All, probably as its biggest line item. And how much influence do you think those politicians will have, now that Biden already has a unity platform?

    Varvel, like all Trump Disciples, still believes in Obama Death Panels and that NO ONE should ever receive health care of any kind if they cannot afford it.

    Anyone who believes otherwise is one of them Far Left Radicals.

    Labels and PR muck. People like Varvel probably realize that in the rest of the world, those politicians would be labelled centre-left, hardly radical. But you know, labels and PR muck.

    Quite a number of these today from right wingers. They are pushing the idea that if you actually think it’s okay to treat people as though they are valuable in and of themselves, you’re a radical communist anti-American pinko (etc) criminal. The majority of us, however, believe that it’s not just okay but right and proper to make our society such that people have all  of their constitutional rights… and a large number of us also believe that the corporations and the very rich have gotten waaaaaay out of hand and need to be at least (ahem) moderately (ahem) restrained.

    Biden is a 40 + year politician who has “lost his fastball”. His V.P. pick was the worst candidate running for Pres (first to bail. Not even democrats wanted her). Yet these people posting are pretending that they have a winning hand. It’s hilarious.
