This post is being locked in order to prevent /r/xkcd from devolving into a Clinton vs. Trump argument.

If you would like to discuss this year's election, please do so in another subreddit:

Edit: This is probably going to end up as one of the most reported posts here

Very partisan xkcd today. Not really complaining, it's just interesting since he doesn't usually take sides in these sorts of things.

[–]DSMan195276 50ポイント51ポイント  (0子コメント)

Personally I'm not that surprised. It might be the most partisan, but it's definitely not the only one that's opinionated, nor is it the only one that didn't feature any kind of a joke. I think that the other ones simply had more popular opinions on them so (most) people didn't care.

As a Trump supporter I honestly don't have the capacity to be salty about it. Randall's made so much impactful and relatable stuff in the past however many years that finally putting out something I largely disagree with is barely a chink in the armor. He might have different political views but I'm still convinced that he's a great guy.

[–]PikachuSquarepants 226ポイント227ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's nice to see an open Trump supporter not get downvote to oblivion. I hope people can get along with each other regardless of who they vote for. Maybe it'll be easier for people once the crazy rhetoric ends.

[–]krakajacks 309ポイント310ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well it's not surprising that a very anti science campaign would not sit well with a scientist.

Are you sure? I was under the impression that truckloads of salt were a key ingredient for #MAGA. /s (so much /s)

Believe me, I hate those kinds of people as much as liberals hate third wave feminists. If anything I take solace in the fact that, even in this incredibly polarized and divided country, most people on both sides aren't at /r/the_donald levels of extremism.

ten feet higher, all mexicans are secretly muslim, clinton did 7/11

[–]unsilviu 87ポイント88ポイント  (0子コメント)

It always makes me happy for some reason to see Trump supporters who disavow extremism and over-the-top language, and just act like normal people. You may support a person I'm disgusted by, but you accept that disagreeing doesn't make one a monster, and go about your business. Kudos for that.

[–]HAIR_OF_CHEESE 13ポイント14ポイント  (0子コメント)

On the other hand, this is unlikely to change anybody's mind. Without the first panel, this would still have the same effect of getting people to vote. It's kinda obvious that Randall isn't supporting Trump already. I'm not sure that the endorsement was necessary.

[–]IndigoMontigo 62ポイント63ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm no Trump supporter, but I am complaining.

Boo.

[–]VectoorI thought we were headed to a bakery? 174ポイント175ポイント  (15子コメント)

First time Randall does a political endorsment right? But I guess this isn't a normal election.

[–]psisquared2 203ポイント204ポイント  (14子コメント)

Not the first time: https://blog.xkcd.com/2008/01/28/obama/

Interestingly, he actually complains about Clinton in this post.

[–]unklphil 156ポイント157ポイント  (5子コメント)

... when questioned [Clinton] seems baffled that anyone would have a problem with what is, by any reasonable standard, bribery. I find her basic lack of integrity troubling, and I think as president she would continue fighting to maintain the status quo. It’s vital that we start the work of picking up the messes left by the irresponsible governance of the current [Bush] administration, and, as they say, you don’t get out of a mess with the same kind of thinking that got you in.

[–]YUNoDiePossibly a haberdasher? 253ポイント254ポイント  (0子コメント)

If the Republicans had nominated literally anyone besides Trump, I would probably be against Hillary. But given the alternative, I voted for HRC in my absentee ballot.

[–]fanboy_killer 45ポイント46ポイント  (2子コメント)

On the one hand, it's hard to imagine how you go from harsh criticism to full-on support. On the other hand, that's exactly what Hillary Clinton did with gay marriage and gun control so this might make perfect sense.

[–]Martin_Samuelson 91ポイント92ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's just the reality when you only have two choices at the polls. You choose the best one. On election day and in the ballot box is not the time or the place to be an ideologue. That time was in the months and years beforehand

[–]Draxagon 124ポイント125ポイント  (0子コメント)

Maybe it's because the alternative is so much worse - He can't afford to only partially support.

[–]ViperSRT3g... 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

This is still so relevant today. Troubling indeed.

[–]AnopandaBearded 43ポイント44ポイント  (1子コメント)

Nominating Clinton would be continuing that tradition at the very time when we have a chance to do so much better. Let’s not let that chance slip by.

No chance to do it better this time around.

[–]PM_UR_GINGER_TRAITS 91ポイント92ポイント  (0子コメント)

  • Vote Trump
  • create chaos
  • have nationwide support to overthrow government
  • seize the memes of production
  • instal glorious communist leader
  • #StillSanders

(Please don't actually do this)

[–]GameResidue 77ポイント78ポイント  (4子コメント)

I think pretty much everyone has their complaints about Hillary (even people voting for her). It's just that she's infinitely better than the alternatives. People who do dishonest things to get in a position of power, if they are qualified, are better than people who are not qualified at all.

[–]shotpunI've read the whole comic but idk who these flair characters are 36ポイント37ポイント  (1子コメント)

I see where you're coming from but the point that people who don't support Clinton make is that doing dishonest things to get in a position of power inherently disqualifies you from being qualified for said position of power - or any position of power at all. Obviously it's a nuanced point but I'm just playing devil's advocate here.

I just want to point out that kind of reasoning can be applied to Trump as well. His track record with being honest and transparent is pretty bad.

[–]Lukers_RCA 11ポイント12ポイント  (1子コメント)

I am not sure I agree. I would rather someone who is less qualified but honest and has the ability hire a qualified team instead of someone who was dishonest but knows how the game is played.

Why would you believe someone who was dishonest would have your best intentions at heart?

I am not siding for one candidate or another, but to put your faith in someone who is not trustworthy instead of someone inept seems dangerous. I'd rather have a lame duck than a snake.

[–]GameResidue 39ポイント40ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think that she is an inherently dishonest person, my comment didn't really reflect that. I believe that she is willing to do dishonest things in order to become president. There's a pretty large difference IMO, and while it's difficult to assume that the dishonesty will stop in office, it's better than electing someone who doesn't know the basics of nuclear warfare and has said that lethal injection is "too comfortable".

And before anyone brings up Hillary's past with nuclear warfare: I know. I don't believe in using peoples' pasts against them, because people can and do change their beliefs (even if it may be political).

[–]RQK1996 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

it is not interesting, there aren't really better options, so while he doesn't like her, in his eyes she is still better than the rest

[–]DavidRFZWhite Hat 81ポイント82ポイント  (0子コメント)

The swordfighter from #303 makes an appearance. That's one of my favorites.

[–]Schiffy94 146ポイント147ポイント  (0子コメント)

The scary part is that, unlike previous elections, Randall can't even seem to bring himself to joke about this one, his underlying opinion notwithstanding.

[–]ergman 94ポイント95ポイント  (1子コメント)

desperate times call for desperate measures I guess. Wish there was still a joke, but I suppose the whole campaign season has been pretty funny.

[–]shagieIsMe 56ポイント57ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'd say not really. It's exhausting. More so than in the past. Even the onion is having difficulty with it.

[–]IganSchachtWizz at EE201 50ポイント51ポイント  (3子コメント)

I don't get this one.

(It's for Hillary? I'm not gringo)

[–]Schiffy94 120ポイント121ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah this one's not even a joke. It's just Randall straight up showing his support for Hillary.

[–]anonfx 41ポイント42ポイント  (0子コメント)

"I'm with Her" is Hillary Clinton's campaign slogan and the stylized "H" with the arrow is her campaign's "logo".

[–]Phermaportus 22ポイント23ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yep, the title is her campaign slogan and a few links to help you go out and vote.

[–]xkcd_bot 26ポイント27ポイント  (0子コメント)

Mobile Version!

Direct image link: I'm With Her

Title text: We can do this.

Don't get it? explain xkcd

My normal approach is useless here. Sincerely, xkcd_bot. <3

[–]Grassyfilth 186ポイント187ポイント  (5子コメント)

Man, I respected Randall for his impartiality. I don't care who you support, but why push it on people like this? It feels "dirty" and not at all in the spirit of the comic.

[–]Conotor 307ポイント308ポイント  (2子コメント)

Because the future of the country is more important than preserving the spirit of the comic.

[–]NotKyle 117ポイント118ポイント  (0子コメント)

yeah seeing an outright political endorsement on xkcd just feels... odd? I'd probably be even more confused if Randall was endorsing Trump but him endorsing either way just... kinda leaves a bad taste?

[–]nomnivore1 104ポイント105ポイント  (9子コメント)

I think that most people who read XKCD are pragmatic enough not to be trump supporters.

[–]EZobel42 168ポイント169ポイント  (0子コメント)

Eh, this comment section speaks otherwise I guess. I'm constantly surprised just how many trump supporters are out there.

[–]Lukers_RCA 39ポイント40ポイント  (0子コメント)

I wouldn't go that far. However, I do believe most readers would be able to have a discussion over their differing beliefs instead of the usual screaming.

[–]anonfx 23ポイント24ポイント  (0子コメント)

You're probably right, which is why the comic is more of a "hey, I know most of you agree with this so get to the polls!" than an argument for the candidate.

[–]RQK1996 11ポイント12ポイント  (0子コメント)

there is at least 1 in this thread

[–]madmag101 145ポイント146ポイント  (12子コメント)

This is without a doubt, the worst xkcd I've ever seen. No jokes, no trivia, nothing but "vote for Hillary". Even if I agreed to Randall's choice in candidate, this is not the place to be pushing a political agenda.

[–]MusicMink 496ポイント497ポイント  (5子コメント)

Its his comic he can do whatever the fuck he wants with it.

[–]SklX 244ポイント245ポイント  (0子コメント)

Sure he can, doesn't mean we have to like and support that decision.

[–]AnopandaBearded 126ポイント127ポイント  (2子コメント)

Still doesnt make it a great comic.

[–]DFGdangerThis is the best xkcd ever! 151ポイント152ポイント  (0子コメント)

Make xkcd great again

[–]yetanotherbrick 27ポイント28ポイント  (0子コメント)

not great != the worst xkcd

[–]keepingheaddown 27ポイント28ポイント  (0子コメント)

He certainly can. And I certainly can stop reading it.

[–]brobromaBeanish 170ポイント171ポイント  (3子コメント)

Didn't know webcomic authors were prohibited from publishing an opinion

[–]Existential_Owl 181ポイント182ポイント  (1子コメント)

This is a blatant violation of the Webcomics Act of 1886

[–]Schiffy94 51ポイント52ポイント  (0子コメント)

That was repealed in 3421.

[–]AnopandaBearded 35ポイント36ポイント  (0子コメント)

They're not. But still not a great comic.

[–]YotsubaSnakeLook! They have scones! 69ポイント70ポイント  (0子コメント)

Most elections he doesn't. This election is not like most elections, however.

If he's thinking anything like I am, the fear of a egotistical, racist, sexist, xenophobic person taking the highest position in the land is more than enough to get me to vote against him. Heck, when Glen Beck starts saying we shouldn't vote for him, it should make you think as to why. I'm not with her as much as I'm against him.

[–]JaseFace 53ポイント54ポイント  (0子コメント)

You don't get to tell him what his comic is "the place" for. If you don't like it, don't read it.
