Voters Demand Better Leadership

SLAM!! We the people demand that you stop playing paddleball, and start doing the things we elected you to do! Will you still vote for me if I don't? Well, yeah. The other guy is still way worse. Good to know!

A four-panel political cartoon shows a politician playing paddleball while a crowd of voters demands that he focus on his elected duties. When he asks whether they will still vote for him if he does not, they admit that the other candidate is worse, so he happily returns to playing. The joke mocks lesser-evil voting and politicians exploiting voters’ lack of better alternatives.
