Being a Tom supporter is the first path to many a leftist.

You're cheering for the guy who's just minding his own business enjoying his life but is cursed with the designated villain because the forces of the universe...just don't like him? Meanwhile, the asshole that goes around pissing the guy minding his own business off and gets cheered on for it always wins?

As a bi, left-leaning Jew, Tom is a perfect representation for me. Sorry Superman Jr.
