Dems as a political party, are technically dead in the water.
Because they’re now split into several ideological factions, while that fucking GOP elephant is set to crush them.
I love the attempt to draw people to the classic shock sites of old, but I simply have to complain about this sign:
Lemons are sour, not bitter. This should read “politics left you sour?” instead.
Maybe that’s the idea? Use the sour to fight the bitter
Very old school sort of internetting. I love it
Mr. Hair Splitter over here.
I am honestly surprised this site still exists.
Edit: well after reading the comments I decided to have a look and of course its been sanitized. The internet has become a fucking nursery.
goatse.ru still gets you that good old school Internet shit though.
My state passed a constitutional amendment prohibiting ranked-choice voting. So it’s only a choice between fascism or diet fascism.
Well that’s disappointing. Do amendments not require public support there
The DNC are the progressive party. They promote taxing the rich and removing money from politics.
First of all, I’ve been an Unaffiliated Independent since I first registered to vote in 1977. I think ALL political parties should be abolished.
The DNC has always given lip service to stuff like taxing the rich and getting money out of politics, but when they are in a position to actually do something about it, they literally don’t do ANYTHING about it. And it has been like that for the last 50 years.
Talk is cheap, and MAGAs may be the biggest illustration of that by far, but Dems don’t have anywhere to hide, either. I’m looking for the candidate towards the left who will WALK it like they talk it.
The DNC haven’t had more than 48 senators in 10 years and shortly before that when they had 60, only with caucus, for about a month of congress in session they passed medicaid expansion to tens of millions of Americans. If it weren’t for the Independent Lieberman they would have passed singlepayer.
You seem to really admire MAGAs for walking and talking unfathomable cruelty and destruction on basis of racial and theological supremacy.
and DPRK is democratic. its right there in the name.
See my example said nothing about their names but instead their actions, your example does the exact opposite.
What makes you think they want to remove money from politics? The Dems made $1.5bn last election.
It’s core policy platform, page 48 of their official manifesto and it’s been publicly stated by pretty much every DNC to reverse Citizens United. They’re also the only party to try to pass any antibribery and anticorruption laws in the last couple of decades, such was the case with HR 1 For the People Act.
No no. Politicans still want all that lovely money.
The dems put forward the proposal on page 48 to say that they want transparency, because that fucks over the Republicans more than them.
No it doesn’t, it explicitly says they “will ban all private financing from federal elections.”
Democrats will also fight to strengthen public financing with small-dollar matching for all federal candidates
In addition to private contributions, they want tax money too. Additional lovey money.
ban all private financing from federal elections.
Hang on. What about the dollar matching. You can’t have both. Also, private financing is free to supply lovely money at all other times.
and crack down on foreign nationals who try to influence elections.
“Crack down” is not defined. Foreign donations to foundations like the Clinton’s are unlikely to be affected.
We will keep super PACs wholly independent of campaigns and parties
But they will still exist to funnel all that lovely money.
Democrats will end “dark money” by requiring full disclosure of contributors and ban 501©(4) organizations from spending on elections.
“Light” lovely money will still be accepted.
Democrats will prohibit corporate PACs and lobbyists from donating to anyone they lobby.
But corporate PACs will still be able to give the DNC lovey money.
The DNC is not trying to reduce the money they are receiving.
TheSome in DNC are the progressive party.TheySome promote taxing the rich and removing money from politics.FTFY
Not really, it’s the party’s core platform. If they had 60 senators it would be done. If they had even 51 we would have at least seen minor progress but instead they have 45 now and not more than 48 in over 10 years.
I don’t think you can earnestly say that with the chicinery that kept Bernie from tying the nomination in favor of the heir apparent in Clinton (Bernie and AOC are pulling huge crowds in trump country). They again pulled that shit with having Biden run twice when he was obviously infirmed. He only stepped aside for the young after he did that disastrous debate. Lastly, the gamesmenship the democrats pull on their own members in congress?
The party establishment is focused on dying on the hill of placating to the rich. That is fundamentally against progress. Hence the diet fascism stance the dems take. We we have 2 right-wing parties in America.
*Edit: FYI, capitalists love fascism. Its why the richest man ever throws Seig Heils.
Bernie Sanders lost the 2016 primary by 3 Million 700 Thousand individual votes, which he was invited to participate in as a 3rd party by the DNC leadership. He lost the 2020 primary to Biden by a lot fuckin more, too.
No. I don’t know where they find folks like you, but holy shit. Yes, the DNC is better than the RNC, by a lot. But, both of them suck the dick of the corporate douchebag. The RNC just has little pompoms with “cocksucker” printed on them and likes to wear makeup when big daddy richie blows a load in their face, while the Democrats pretend to wince.
They both suck. Republicans just need to end first.
I know exactly where they get uninformed assholes like you with no knowledge of legislation or vote histories.
Corporate oligarchies have been reshaping the media we consume with a scalpel to keep you this way.
YEAH! SO VOTE DNC Because something something corporate…oh shit they just took another donation from Tesla…something something regulation…something something “we need to mend fences”.
Anyway, do you laugh when you go fuck yourself, clown?
You’re unironically going to sit there and say don’t vote DNC in 2026? You think everything happening in the federal government is good and fine and totally normal?
I didn’t say that. Some mod censored me so I can’t quote directly, but I’m pretty sure I basically just said the DNC sucks corporate dick too. The RNC is worse, so we have no choice BUT to vote DNC. But the DNC is horrible and we deserve better.
The comment is still up on my instance, this is what you said

These people live in memes. They don’t have a clue what’s happening in the real world imo.
I think it’s a bit worse than that. While I think at least a few people are actually ignorant, I think there is a well funded and organized campaign to keep the DNC out of power, I think some of it is from within the USA but a lot of it is from Russia and China.
There are Psyops on Lemmy.
You dropped your /s
Wow nice counter, fascist troll
They enemy of your enemy isn’t always your friend. Criticising the Democrats doesn’t necessarily mean supporting the GOP.
You have to support your side if you want people to vote for them. Trump won because almost 9 million less people voted for Harris 2024 than Biden 2020. 8 million people were dissuaded by comments like “dnc is diet fascism.”
You have to support your side if you want people to vote for them.
You have to silence critics if you want your party to continue supporting genocide, which you do.
Nobody gives a shit about the endless holy land war. It sucks that people are dying, but they have basically always been dying because everyone thinks their stupid Sky Daddy Book is the best.
Killing the US over this stupid bull shit is honestly, worse than killing it over the GOP’s shitty policies.
are you a child?
You have a child’s understanding of politics. And a child’s temperament… and a child’s “meme” response. You are a child.
They promote taxing the rich and removing money from politics.
And then do none of that and support genocide instead.
If they truly wanted money out of politics then they’d stop begging people for donations every single election cycle.
So the RNC are allowed to fundraise and hold concerts and ad campaigns but the DNC are not?
No? It’s hypocritical for Dems to demand voters give them money while telling people they want money out of politics. Personally I’d make it so politicians are paid the minimum wage of the state they represent and aren’t allowed to take bribes, donations, gifts from corporations or CEOs, and election funds are a pooled resource where everyone running for any party, big or small, has access to the same amount. Anyone found getting extra funds is immediately kicked out and banned from holding any level of government office, including even being a town mayor.
Well I have some great news because the DNC also want to reform election finances to remove private funding. You should vote for the DNC.
When the DNC stops supporting Israel completely, starts taking up actual progressive leftist stances like defunding the police, and stops doing the BS bipartisanship crap then sure. Until then I’ll vote third party for groups like PSL who I do volunteer work with. The closest political party that aligns with my ideal version of leadership.
No? It’s hypocritical for Dems to demand voters give them money while telling people they want money out of politics
No? If we take them at their word, they want it so they can propagandize enough to be put in a position to ban it, pulling the ladder up from behind them
The Dems are the conservatives, they want the status quo with maybe some mild reforms.
The Republicans apparently are the radicals, they want to change society (in a direction that I think is completely stupid, but still)
My country has a beer party, and it actually holds some seats in local jurisdictions. Their candidate came in third (out of iirc 8) in the last presidential election.
It’s just another party run by old white men
Just more old white dudes. Hardly an innovative political party.
At least the aren’t diddling kiddies.
do NOT follow the link
I repeat, do NOT follow the link
It’s not what it was… It’s some censored quasi version that auto takes you to a bootleg social site
I don’t believe you. I want another option to established parties. Enough of these old balls in power.
I legit thought that that is a real party. But then, thanks t your comment, I remembered a meme I saw on here about lemon party.
Think everyone needs to see that image once in their life.
I miss the old internet
Beside troll pages, does the site deliver malware to devices?
No idea, didn’t spot any.
I think most would say lemons are sour rather than bitter.
not to be pedantic but is this the uk? 👀 on the right it looks like there’s the grey back of a road sign. plus the houses, wheelie bins, the cracked concrete paving and red-purple tarmac all scream british to me
In a UK setting, could be talking about Labor and Tories.
Yep, anyone British would recognise it as such instantly.
Yeah, that’s UK. We’ve a million streets like that, those trees in the park-looking bit opposite. I’d imagine the house with the bins is a hotel or a B&B, something like that, because otherwise it would be odd to have so many the same colour - green is compostable and black is ‘bottles and cans’ where I live, and you normally just get one of each.
Don’t know what the green stripe on the road is. Our cycle lanes don’t look like that, aren’t that colour. I’m guessing it’s some “who’s allowed to park where in London” thing, residents-only or something like that. They’re a strange bunch, Londoners.
Our cycle lanes don’t look like that, aren’t that colour
A reverse image search shows this image dates back to at least 2009, and I found this bike lane in London that’s narrow and painted green in 2008 https://www.google.com/maps/place/Greenwich,+London,+UK/@51.4944828,-0.0498872,3a,75y,162.52h,61.82t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sNVulH3Rd1Ouc6-vgvx-xTw!2e0!5s20080601T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D28.175365412625304%26panoid%3DNVulH3Rd1Ouc6-vgvx-xTw%26yaw%3D162.52083347245127!7i13312!8i6656!4m6!3m5!1s0x47d8a9cea79975f3:0x1470a7a162e4ca6c!8m2!3d51.4933675!4d0.0098214!16zL20vMG5xdjE?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTAwOC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D
Lots of those huge old terraced houses are subdivided now and there’s like 5 or 6 flats in each one, hence all the bins.
I feel like just the graphical style and colors of the poster scream UK (and I’ve never even been there, just pay attention)
It’s the off-center, slightly askew, and inverse-contrast text block that says “UK” to me
I thought so too! I just thought there could potentially be other places in the world that looked very similar that I don’t know about. I’m a Londoner 😆 and that many wheelie bins instantly makes me think it’s houses divided into flats… a landlord special round here.
(For some bizarre reason when I first looked at the picture, I did not see the green bit as green at all. It looked grey and the road looked red-purple, not unlike some bus lanes). Now that I see the green, bike lanes down here are indeed green, but they might also just be regular tarmac with the white painted bicycle painted every now and then… unless it’s a ‘cycle superhighway’ of course, in which case it’s blue 😵💫
Yes, and it’s wild the violent arguments US folk are having in this comment section
Is the original still online after all these years? Not going to check on the train lol
Original isn’t up but an MSPaint of paramedic clothes and CPR has been added to make it less obscene.
Enshittification /s
I’m going to just believe you
Oh, he was actually telling the truth. The site also eventually redirects you to chat.poo, whatever that is
This is the most reasonable course of action. Some things can’t be unseen.
I got got :(
oh dude, you’re one of today’s unlucky 10,000
Can’t have a lemon party without old Dick!
look at this fucking mug. one could know nothing about him and still look at it and go “this looks exactly like someone who would shoot his friend in the face”
I feel bad for those that didn’t know… Almost.
nah. We know because we earned it. Now its their turn to earn it.
