It’s just another party run by old white men
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.
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.
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.
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.
Captain, the goalpost is running away!
Small Dollar donations mean individuals, like when a granny gives $15 to Bernie Sanders. Since that explicitly says matching with public financing that means said matching would have an upper limit allotted to every candidate.
It says businesses and corporations won’t be allowed to donate to campaigns or collaborate with campaigns. That leaves a loophole where they can still endorse a candidate publicly, but taking that away would be a violation of freedom of speech.
PACs will still exist in the sense that political advocates and lobbies exist, but they would be severely gutted by not being able to fund campaigns, which is their sole purpose since the Citizens United decision was first handed down.
You dropped your /s
Wow nice counter, fascist troll
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.
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)
Well that’s disappointing. Do amendments not require public support there
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
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.
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
In a UK setting, could be talking about Labor and Tories.
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.
I got got :(
oh dude, you’re one of today’s unlucky 10,000
Just more old white dudes. Hardly an innovative political party.
At least the aren’t diddling kiddies.
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.
I feel bad for those that didn’t know… Almost.
I think most would say lemons are sour rather than bitter.
Can we please stop meming about these things? The most third party we ever had in congress were in right before Republicans swept the last election, don’t even joke about leaving the fascist white supremacist theocrat party in power.
Agh they just need to pick a fuckin’ name and get on with it.
