The cartoon implies that the candidates for this upcoming presidency aren't very good, in fact they are questionable as to why they are even running.
The audience is those that vote. The appeals, I believe, are pathos and logos. Pathos because people are somewhat looking forward to the up coming election, but they are thinking about who to vote for, because all the candidates are unqualified, in my opinion. Logos because you need to know who you're voting for and what they stand for.
The cartoon is implying that this elderly lady doesn't want to vote for any of the candidates. The candidates aren't what you expect when you see people running for president. So the elderly lady is having a hard time trying to figure out which should lose the election. It is a very hard to decide who should lose. The cartoons audience is the voters. Or anyone who is older than eighteen. I believe this appeals to with pathos the most. Because it is hard to figure out whom you want as the next president of the United States. But I think it might be even harder to figure out who you don't want to be the next president. I don't think it really appeals to the ethos or logos.
In politics, the Republican race for the presidential bid is currently all-consuming. There are five men vying for the vote. Right now, the race is rather notorious for its poor selection of candidates. The cartoon implies this by the old woman being unable to decide who to not vote for. It's saying that there is no clear better choice in the race and that all the candidates are lousy.
The audience is anyone who can vote. The cartoon is either commiserating with with Republicans or chuckling snidely at their poor choice. With this in mind, I would say that the strongest appeal is pathos. I don't see any appeal to logos or ethos.
This cartoon is implying that its hard to choose one bad canidate over the next. This gives us a limited choice do we choose bad? or worse? The audience is all those of age that can vote, And ethos is highly appealed due to the facts of all the canidates are for lack of a better word terrible. Pathos is also highly appealed because this makes most people mad because of how the republicans have made bad choices in canidates, while logos isnt appealed as highly.
In the photo, I believe the old people in gerneral can't decide on whom to vote. This then implys that none of them have any cause to assist the elderly in there time in office, causing them to become indecisive on the many people to vote for.
This appeals mostly towards the elderly folk, i mean both of them in this picture are at least above 65, I couldnt really fit any other type of audience in it.
A while back Mr lepeau was talking about how the new candidates aren't really the greatest choices for president. People who don't like Obama are especially caught between a rock and a hard place. These people are forced to pick between people they don't like and people they really don't like. The audience is anyone who can vote because they are the ones deciding on our country's next leader which, at this point, definitely isn't set in stone
The cartoon depicts a man trying to make a decision on who to vote for, all the candidates are so terrible that this decision seems impossible. This cartoon implies that all of the GOP Primary candidates are horrible politicians and don't have a shot at winning. The cartoon is geared towards anybody who's of age and registered to vote. It appeals to Logos because it is based on fact, many people aren't very happy with the GOP Primary candidates.
Dumb and dumber are running for this year's presidency. This cartoon is implying that though both candidates are "phenomenal", it's a tough decision. The senior lady is therefore "torn", she can't decide which choice is worse. There is no clear answer in this clear-as-mud election and who will win is up in the air.
This cartoon is meant for registered voters over the age of 18 or anyone with a budding passion for politics. The appeal here is logos because you have to have a previous knowledge of the candidates, and the cartoon is based on fact.
Your back hurts; the dwindling line of inevitable regret slowly leads to a cryptic line of booths. The feeling in the air is dirty. Sick, even. You periodically glance at the clock -- you have nothing else to do. Your body is in a constant state of evolving infirmary. Yes, you've come to vote. For whom, you are quite unsure. It's a turn of the cards; the lesser of two evils. Whoever you choose is a matter of settlement, not decision. And yet, you have a disturbing intimacy with it. "Voting is a right," so they say, but at what point does it become an obligation?
Truly. This is voting. As the cartoon implies, it has become a petty obligation. The severity of blind voting is neglected; logic doesn't exist. this cartoon is a dose of welcomed reality.
The targeted demographic of this cartoon is likely the voting population. In terms of its appeals, I would guess, and I only guess, that logos is favored. It supports a cynical point of view that deep down we've known for years. And we're ashamed. In terms of the other two appeals, well, they remain scarce.
The cartoon may be humorous, but it's symptomatic. The issue of blind voting is far more serious than it appears. In spite of this, nothing will be done to the system. We pride ourselves too much on the ability to vote. Perhaps I am pessimistic. After all, the concept is unsurprisingly better than its dictatorial counterparts. So shine on, America. Shine on.
Our country is in the midst of a presidential election. Right now we have Pres. Barack Obama as our democratic candidate and right now we are in the midst of selecting a republican candidate. As of now it has been very difficult for republicans to find one candidate to their liking. They all are a bit too, "out there," or strange for most people's liking. I have heard several different opinions pertaining to the selection of the republican candidate, but it would appear that no one can make up their mind! Hence, the elderly woman stating that she can't seem to make up her mind.
I think that pathos is appealed to in the sense that it brings out the emotion of sympathy. I feel that most people can relate to the woman's sense of frustration with these decisions that come with being an American citizen. I also think that the artist appeals to logos. The fact of that matter is that voting is something to take lightly and it is very difficult and something that requires deliberation. Lastly, I feel that it also appeals to ethos. The author establishes within the words of the woman the appreciation of most republicans. Most republicans can easily relate and therefore, feel a sympathy and connection with the artist.
The older man in this cartoon has two choices in his vote for the Presidential candidacy. He can vote for somebody he doesn't like, or he can choose to not vote, and allow a Democrat to win the presidency again, which in many Republican minds is likely a worse choice. Many Republicans are dissatisfied with their voting options in the primaries. They do not see any candidates with a good head on their shoulders; instead they see a gaggle of bigots, crazies, empty-heads, and potential religious fanatics. A number of Republicans do not want to vote for any of these people, however, they feel obligated to vote because of pressure from their party to not allow a Democrat to win office.
This cartoon is targeted not necessarily to the general voting public, but to Republicans and Democrats specifically. A fair number of Republicans will relate to this cartoon in that they don't see any good options within their party and don't want to vote for any of the GOP candidates. Democrats may view this comic smugly; it shows that even some Republicans may join to their side in an effort to support good sense instead of bigotry and fanaticism that is currently seen in the Republican candidates. The largest appeal in the cartoon is to ethos. Republicans are probably able to identify fairly well with the voters in the cartoon. It can also be an appeal to pathos for Democrats who get a boost of confidence from seeing that their candidate has a better chance.
This cartoon is basically saying that the people who running for president suck. They don’t know what they’re doing, and they aren’t much better than president Obama. Many people complain that President Obama hasn’t done much of anything for our country. We want someone better running the country. However, there isn’t anyone better that is running for president.
The audience is people who can vote, obviously. This doesn’t really affect people that can’t vote. I think this cartoon portrays pathos. It says, “Hey, people that are running for president are kind of dumb. Good luck voting”. The author is saying that we need better people to run for president. The point of voting is to get a great president that can run a country. Not to get one that is going to be worse than the one before him.
From such illogical propositions: proposing a shipping tariff on goods delivered by the Chinese, to scandalous acts involving secretly lobbying for 1.6 million dollars... there is no denying that the increasing deviation involving trust between the American people and their elected officials is painfully evident. This cartoon expresses just that, the questioning of who not to vote for sets the mood of the American people when it comes to their impression of the 2012 G.O.P presidential candidates, take my word for it... it’s nothing special.
The only appeals made by and through this political depiction were: Logos and a touch of Pathos. Logos was represented indirectly through the subtitles at the bottom of the illustration, Pathos was also represented by such.
A large number of people are in a similar dilemma as the elections for the GOP presidential candidate draw near. The runners this year are rather disappointing when it comes to things such as moral integrity and ethical business practices. It is no wonder the man in this cartoon can't decide who hes going to not vote for.
Pathos is established with a comical splash that is refreshing in the arid desert that is politics. Ethos is of course taken care of with the recognized GOP, and logos is not presented strongly in this cartoon.
At this time in our country, we are voting for the GOP candidate to run for presidency. There has been a lot of talk about the candidates, and how none of them seem to be the right fit. "I can't decide who not to vote for." pretty much sums it up. This lady (and many other Americans) faces the tough choice of picking which candidate is best, out of a bad bunch.
The audience would inclulde republican voterss, who are facing the same decision.
Logos is a appealed to because it is good to think about your vote, before making the important decision. You feel sorry for this lady, showing pathos. Ethos is established because most republicans can easily relate to this lady, since many of them are in the same predicament.
For a few months now the republicans have been trying themselves to choose a candidate to back in this race... And even they can't and they are obliged to. Now that the people get to vote it's even worse, none of these candidates have any real chance at beating Pres. Obama, but there has to be one. If Rick Santorum is truly winning in most polls.. I can't wait to see him go against Obama in a debate, because I have no idea what he stands for or what he'll do, but I don't know that about any candidate.
The appeals used in this are mostly pathos and logos; pathos because people can connect with the fact that these candidates are not the strongest opponents to win the presidency of our nation. And logos, because you have to know at least a little bit about the race and how every candidate stands.
This cartoon is basically saying that the new candidates for our upcoming elections are not to great. All that the public is tring to do at this point is pick someone that will screw up the government less then everyone else. The audience is basically just the general public.
The appeals in this cartoon are mostly logos and pathos. Pathos is because the general public can totally relate to this cartoon and agree that our candidates for the president this year absolutely suck. Logos is an appeal because you have to know about all of the candidates that are running for presidency.
