What some creators are saying about the USA midterm election

It's time to check what some of the farthest left creators think of the 2026 midterm election, which saw results sadly turn in their favor. For example, here's Kurt Busiek, who said, here, here, here and here:
What he says about Cruz is sick. And why does Busiek believe Trump literally doesn't want the GOP to be able to retain the White House? Also, over here:
I wonder why the "strategist" isn't named? Maybe fuel did play a part in the failure for the GOP, but anybody who's going to talk so crudely isn't making a good case regardless of where they stand, nor are they helping if they believe Iran's barbaric dictatorship should be allowed to continue standing. I guess that's why Busiek doesn't take issue with J.D. Vance, who's got some responsibilities to shoulder there. With the way Busiek continues to go about, that's why I won't be wasting any money today on his creator-owned GNs like Arrowsmith.

Then there's Ron Marz, who first re-posted the following items here and here from 2 left-wing news sources:
I think Marz's strongly implied favoratism for Abdul el-Sayed nullifies his attempt to use the New Republic's article as a claim the Republicans promote "ignorance". Next, he wrote the following here and here, and here, and here, which could give a clue where he stands on issues like illegal immigration, and another Republican politician:
So says somebody who acts like being a liberal means it's impossible to be ignorant. Look at what ICE nabbed in New York. That's not a serious issue? Once again, Marz proves quite a dreary bore, and I won't waste time on his creator owned books either.

There's also at least one from Gail Simone that's very chilling:
So she's all in for a Muslim politician who's taken disturbing positions on children, made statements hurtful to Israel, and even keeps books on his shelves containing verses hurtful to Black Africans? Shudder. This definitely explains what's wrong with Simone, and I will not read any of her creator-owned writings.

In addition, there's also a puff piece on Forbes about a GN they claim might've turned North Carolina blue, and the people involved are perhaps unsurprising choices:
One of the most creative responses came from Andrew Aydin, co-writer of John Lewis’s best-selling graphic novel memoir series March, who had moved to the region and was caught up in the disaster and recovery effort. Aydin recognized that the community needed more than money to rebuild what it had lost. It needed to tell its stories, to be dignified and recognized for what its people had gone through. So he organized the Appalachia Comics Project as a way to get those stories to as large an audience as possible.

“Comics and graphic novels can help dramatize conflicts,” said Aydin in a call earlier this week. “They can help show the reality of horrible situations in a way that brings people together.”

Aydin spearheaded a unique project to pair members of the community with top comic book industry professionals like Brian Michael Bendis, Matt Fraction, Steve Orlando and Gene Luen Yang to produce an anthology of personal narratives about the storm and its impact. He launched a crowdfunding campaign to cover production costs, and Islands in the Sky was published in September, 2026.
Bendis' name alone is enough to make me leery, considering how repellent his stories for Marvel and DC were. I don't know if this GN actually helped politically, but anybody who's going to hire such overrated, pretentious scribes as Bendis and company is not making a good impressive of themselves.

One of the saddest things about all these leftists in the comics industry has to be that they never change, and these statements of theirs are another example of how they remain the same.
