Let's go TACO, let's go!!!

Update: Yes, the Dems have been pretty much useless but they can't do anything when they have no majority in either the House or Senate and Don TACO is ruling by EOs.

But this is how you get him and them. Fuck the high road, hit them at their level. Call them names like weirdos and TACO. If anything induce strokes in all of them.

It'd be really funny if they made this a regular thing to own the president haha and like they should do it everywhere across the country just to really hammer it in maybe they can buy specific free taco lots where they sell tacos and then put taco themed buildings up where you can stay overnight to support not liking the other guy gosh that would be hilarious

Sounds like communism, maybe you shouldn't undermine the resistance by moving even slightly to the left ever?

Give out free guns and MANPADS instead

[-] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago

That seems like socialism, Republicans would hate that. Guns are only for people who can afford them and white people, otherwise the cops wouldn't know who to shoot and who to give leeway to

I hate absolutely everything about this.

I've never been a fan of calling Trump nicknames or going low, not because I'm trying to uphold any sort of highroad Liberal ideology but because I personally find it crass and he's an abominable human being with thousands of legitimate offenses to point to. If you do it on your own time to blow off steam, whatever, I'm not gonna get on your case. But I need more from our politicians.

What's the message here? I get that it's generally to agitate him, but are you trying to goad him into not chickening out? Just fucking do it, bro. There are thousands of Americans with food insecurity right now and you're gonna give Republicans tacos?! Again, I get that it's not really comparable and those issues are on different levels, but it still maintains that glossy respectability where you can't really levy any criticism against it because they're just giving away tacos. There's no real message here at all.

And lastly, nobody is even standing up to put their name on this. The DNC is doing this? Who? Whose idea? We have so many Republicans at every level chomping at the bit to get themselves in front of any camera they can to spread their repugnant message and we can't even get one Democrat to stand up and put their name on this meager messaging. Fucking cowards, the lot of them.

I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed.

And these tacos don't raise minimum wage to a livable wage, tacked to COL adjustment, universal health care, safe infrastructure, leisure time, she, livable housing, safe public transportation, green energy, clean food, soil, air, water, fully funded, world-class education. And they probably add to the myriad health effects of garbage food.

But that would mean they would actually have to work, rather than perform their part of the Grand Political Mummery to convince you they are actually different than The Other Guys.

NoBoDy WaNtS tO WoRk AnYmOrE Dems can resume saying that when they fix these issues and do get to work on constituents' behalf.

And while they're at it, codify Roe and cap C-suite salaries.

Eta: and codify lgbtqia/race protection. this absolutely will happen when they fear the public more than they fear the ultrawealthy.

They have nothing to offer. Tacos is an easy press win. Keeps their names in the headlines and attracts what they see as favorable attention.

The goal is status quo, but that's hard to sell. So, tacos

Considering how ineffective they are at negotiating passage of bills, approval of incompetent political appointees, etc, this is pretty hypocritical. I'm amused, but it is not like they've suddenly grown a spine themselves.

Ok but what are they doing about the fascist takeover of your country?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

Anything to avoid actually fighting fascism eh?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

That goes against the political machinations of their donors.

Hey look, man, Dems are useless but Ill take some free tacos. Where can I get one?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Where? I'm hungry and it's Tuesday. I need tacos.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

Funny. Now do something of substance.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

fucking pathetic

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Now this is how you stop fascism.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

I mean go around the country, give tacos to everyone, rich or poor. Seems like a sound policy while simultaneously poking fun at Trump.
