We're all fucked. Uniparty [...]

I think that fairly sums up what I strove to express in a big cartoon, and an even bigger reply post.

A trusted source reviewed the OP cartoon weeks before I posted it. Evaluation was terse: “Sheep won’t get it.”

Keep voting! Because! —Coke v. Pepsi just got more exciting:
