If you have a declared allegiance to a political party, this cartoon isn’t for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you hew closely to a liberal\/left or conservative\/right ideology, this cartoon isn’t for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a single-issue voter (women’s health\/abortion, for example), this cartoon isn’t for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you vote transactionally, going for the candidate who you think is most likely to deliver on the political promises that will benefit you, this cartoon isn’t for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you happen to be a billionaire (you never know who reads these things) trying to puppet-string the world to your personal benefit, this cartoon is not for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is for the undecided voters. And if you are one of these people at this point days before the election (and months into a thoroughly exhausting, all-consuming campaign season), I imagine the only criteria left to make a decision on is character \u2014 who is the more relatable, decent, stable human being? I mean, if that’s how you would choose a co-worker, a manager, a neighbor, a friend \u2014 shouldn’t that factor into how you would choose a President?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I don’t want to lead you too much here, but may I suggest voting for the one who is NOT the living embodiment of the seven deadly sins (lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride)?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
