Very good cartoon. Idealism versus pragmatic reality. This 👇= best brief essay/OpEd I've seen stating the same thing, perhaps with a bit more substance to back up the message:

"Abandoning Biden could repeat the 1968 mistakes that helped elect Nixon" (me: only this would be much worse*) https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/5/12/2239229/-Abandoning-Biden-could-repeat-the-1968-mistakes-that-helped-elect-Nixon
* Plus, Biden's done a lot of good!

Short, and to the point.

“Only years later did I realize that I was mistaken, and we missed an opportunity to have a president who might actually have made America great by championing racial justice, labor rights, and the war against poverty.

I hope that today’s campus #protesters don’t repeat our mistakes by abandoning #Biden, who already has a proven record of accomplishments in his first term”

Dear Campus Protestors, I’m with you. I know how you feel. I was one of the anti-war protestors in ‘68 whose ballot choices in my very first election were either Nixon or Humphrey. I was anti-war, had been at the pre-convention protest in Chicago in April after MLK assassination & chased by cops into the streets surrounding Picasso statue. Nixon kept the war going with his ‘secret plan’. Vote Blue & Push Left!
