You'll find lots of people are childish - even when it comes to voting. A large amount of people vote based on the feelings they have towards someone's politics.

You might also want to note that "the majority can gargle on these nuts" doesn't translate well to election results, and may also just be your own form of childishness and basing your politics on your emotional vibe of others (so you're doing the same thing I was just talking about).

They think they're being moral and righteous too, but only one side won the election... And if that's "gargling on your nuts" then pass those nuts over here homie.

Unfortunately that ship has sailed. I'm not here to argue about it, I'm just pointing out that this comic and your comments are the perfect example of why.

The left mistook losing (an election) for winning (a moral victory). They thought politics was something other than WWE, so they didn't put on the right show (they became moral philosophers rather than top rope acrobats). They played it safe . They were correct, but wrong. Which isn't the point and is infact a great way to lose.
