Aaron McGruder
It may sound weird, but I don't really look for culture, particularly in an American city.
Aaron McGruder
I think there's a lot of good and bad to L.A. One of the things you have to consider is that you can, if you're lucky, make a decent living here. That's a big plus. That's pretty positive. The weather is OK.

I think the two-party system is a complete sham I think it is designed so that the voters can feel like they have the satisfaction of throwing those bums out of office every four to eight years, but without the direction of the country ever significantly changing.
Aaron McGruder
It's difficult to overcome what you're getting beamed into your brain by the television every day. The worthlessness of journalism today is just making the country confused and bewildered and lost.
Aaron McGruder
I think you have to play the game on every level. If you need a friendly, charismatic, good-looking guy to be the mouthpiece, then so be it. And maybe Ralph Nader should just be behind the scenes telling that guy what to say.
Aaron McGruder
In USA culture is just a matter of commerce. So, you know, I don't really look for that, and I don't expect to find it in any city.
Aaron McGruder
Good satire goes beyond the specific point it’s trying to make and teaches you how to think critically. Even after your favorite cartoonist retires or [Stephen] Colbert wraps it up, you’re not left believing everything they’re telling you.
Aaron McGruder
I do the interviews and then I read about myself. I understand it and I get what it is. But there's so much stuff that I say, either jokingly or lightheartedly, that gets printed like I'm dead serious.
Aaron McGruder
I guess I was a conspiracy theorist when I said no weapons in Iraq. Now they call that history.
Aaron McGruder
When the news wants to tell you something is important, they put dramatic theme music behind it. They scare you into watching the story.
Aaron McGruder
We have to confront the very scary fact that the president is a moron. He's really dumb.
Aaron McGruder
I think the people should demand accountability on the voting. I think there's no point in voting if you're not gonna demand fairness and be able to verify each vote. And other countries can do this fairly easily. So I don't think you really want democracy if you're not willing to take that first step.
Aaron McGruder
That's not saying there's not a bunch of good Democrats. I'm sure there's a lot of people who still haven't figured that out yet or simply don't want to have that pessimistic of an outlook, but I think the Democratic Party is completely worthless.

Fame is not your friend. It ain't necessarily your enemy. It is what it is.
Aaron McGruder
Late to bed and late to wake will keep you long on money and short on mistakes.

We don't need a two-party system. We need something else. Because at this point, the two-party system is really just a one-party system. And that one party is crumbling.
