Voters Participation

• The caption says "at least somebody is following you." i think this is referring to the loss of voters for the democratic party which has allowed the republicans to take over the senate. 
• The cartoon uses the grim reaper which is funny because it like the democrats have loss its stored faith from voters.
• In the cartoon the democratic donkey is being followed by the grim reaper and is asking for him to stop following him but the grim reaper is being  sarcastic with his smart remark
• The cartoon in my opinion this cartoons talks about both the faith the voters have loss in Obama because he hasn't lived up to what he said he would do. Even though he really is trying but the house is mainly republicans and won't pass his bills. 
• This relates to class because it shows one reason why voter participation is lacking. No one will vote for you if they don't even have faith in your bills.
• The cartoon has a lot of irony because its ironic how they use the grim reaper the bringer of "Death" to follow the donkey. So some would interpret that it means the coming of the death to the democratic party.
