New and Improved Comments

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page.

That’s just silly.  This is the kind of comic made by somebody who is very politically emotional without any real understanding of the system at work.

One could just as easily make a comic a mule pressing about a button that gives drug test refusing deadbeats food stamps, fat people unemployment checks, and illegal immigrants free health care, and just like this comic, it would only be full of half-truths.

All this illustration does is attempt to polarize an already inflated conflict between American people.  In the end, we are all Americans here, and we just want this country to be better than it is right now.  Stop thinking about things in terms of red and blue. There is more to progress than party lines.
