    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.

    My state passed a constitutional amendment prohibiting ranked-choice voting. So it’s only a choice between fascism or diet fascism.

      The DNC are the progressive party. They promote taxing the rich and removing money from politics.

        And then do none of that and support genocide instead.

          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.

            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.”

          See my example said nothing about their names but instead their actions, your example does the exact opposite.

        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.
