At first, I thought the apartment buildings were stacks of pizza boxes.
At first, I thought the catcher was a guy crouched with a gun and was shooting the batter in the ass.
Also Pepsi should be coke. and maybe steaks and corn instead of fried chicken.
I’m a little bit country~ a little bit HP?*record scratch*…

It should definitely be beer instead of Pepsi on the red side.
I guess it’s a compliment that they put Japanese food on the blue side? Although they love fried chicken at Christmas.
Reds are always fighting soft drink regulation though
Then why not Coca-Cola? It fits the color schemes.
Because coke put out an internal training video that they outsourced production on, where someone mentioned “try to be less white” and I had to hear about it more than once on our way to grandma’s funeral. Now they drink Pepsi while complaining about cancel culture.
Huh, this kinda thing happens so often it seems I missed this one.
Good.
Been saying forever “keep the government out of my bedroom,” hate that I now have to add “and fridge.”
I just want gay married weed farmers to be able to drink Coke while they defend their farms with ar15s.
I hate the Apple association, but everything else feels pretty valid.
serious question: what are the two Dems at the top doing? Is he refusing to shake her hand? Was he going in for a hug?
hand gestures while discussing
Maybe? ¯\_(ツ)_¯
haha, that’s exactly the guy’s posture. But yes, it’s probably just meant as more casual hand gestures vs formal body language. I was just overthinking it
it is. trust me.
I think it’s supposed to be clothing and talking style is more casual on left and more formal on right.
I think it’s more literal and low level than “more or less formal”. It’s more like “democrats use this body language and republicans use that body language”.
Hey, chief. Let’s talk, why not!
Where’s the education part?
Are you asking the US or Japan?
It’s right there, on both sides, given placement in the graphic that matches the importance each party places on it.
Source? I live in Japan and haven’t seen this (not surprising given I rarely read papers here), but would love context. Not seeing any in at least the first page of replies
Looks like it’s from Nikkei. Doesn’t seem to be a great article, which is pretty much what you’d expect if you ever see the coverage of US politics on TV here as well.

ed: oh, the caption under the graphic says “Source: Created from public opinion polls such as YouGov and Gallup.” (出所:ユーガブ、ギャラップなどの世論調査から作成)
Yep, that seems to be it. Interesting, if a bit simplified, explanation in the article of US politics for a Japanese audience.
CNN? The channel that recently spent hours dissecting every stutter and stumble Biden made and just plain refused to talk about the vicious lies and ad hom attacks Trump spent the entire debate spewing, and just didn’t find it worth mentioning how he avoided answering several super important questions? That’s who they think the left gets news from?
Like, at least put the NPR on there lol.
That’s where they think Democrats get their news from. Notice the donkey.
Your mistake is thinking democrats are “the left” lol
Yeah, it’s hard to explain in the US and Canada, where there are only two major parties, that they don’t represent two ends of a political spectrum. They’re just two dominant parties that have different ideas; on a lot of things, they even agree and don’t hide it.
I wish we, as kids in society, had learned more about specific right-wing and left-wing policies in history and civics so that this distinction could be made more clear. Or at least that we were taught what liberalism is and what neoliberalism is and how they’re different.
But we didn’t and weren’t, so when people think “liberal” they think “left,” and we’re all worse off for it.
so when people think “liberal” they think “left”
Ouch.
I guess both have crazy US-only meanings, because well, “liberal” is the core of the right-wing idea.
Yes, that’s exactly what I mean. It’s nuts that a word means something totally different in one specific area of the world because it’s politically convenient to ignore what it actually means.
But we didn’t and weren’t
Deliberately of course, precisely to maintain ignorance, and keep the Overton window firmly on the right…
All such descriptors are relative; by definition, the Democratic Party is “left.”
The only left US-politician in the last 200 years is Bernie Sanders. The rest of the democrats are just on the “left” side from every GOP statement. Which doesn’t make the democrats left.
You say shit like that and expected to be taken seriously? Even if you were conceptually correct, Eugene Debs is right there. Educate yourself, son.
Who said I expected to be taken seriously?
You may want to familiarize yourself with the term “colloquialism”.
That doesn’t magically make democrats “the left” (E: and therefore doesn’t explain why they wouldn’t be fans of CNN, being centrists, at best) lmao
Their change has been fairly recent. They have a right winger running the show now and he wants to court more Republicans.
He was even quoted as saying (paraphrasing) “fox news has a good model to emulate, all opinion shows surrounding an actual news show.”
/Vomit
But that is a good model. Separate the opinion shows from the news shows.
That’s not what they mean, they already are separated they just act like they’re news and have the little “opinion” thing on the bottom of the screen for legal purposes.
What CNN seems to be saying is they want more opinion shows than actual news. When your show is classified as opinion you can lie as much as you want as long as it’s not slandering a corporation that will sue you (dominion and fox)
I wish it was this peaceful
That girl in the red dress needs to be about 15 years younger
No older males on the right? This graphic is “woke”, cancel it, demonize the Japanese, deport them.
It appears that they are doing business things so I don’t think that matters.
The women in blue also look much younger.
How did they not put any guns?
would be controversial to portray guns in a casual context
Tell that to a Republican
They can’t hear you over the sounds of gun shots
