Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Finishing The Job"

From DC's anarchist cartoonist -

"Finishing The Job"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3635

It is with anxiety, chagrin and dread that I present this, my first cartoon of the 2024 Presidential "election" slog...

...and despite the massive disappointment and lack of enthusiasm of huge swaths of Democratic voters, Gropin' Joe announced his re-election campaign kickoff with a promise to "finish the job"... at which point yours truly, like millions of others, is cringing and asking themselves: what job would THAT be — immiserating the poor and the working class? Terrorizing immigrants and bullying our next-door neighbors? Fattening up the war profiteers and Wall Street? Beating down anti-war dissent in public media? Dragging us into World War III?

Lotta big jobs to finish there, Joester; guess you're going to need four more years to thoroughly fuck shit up, huh?
