Please report any genocide denying US democrats below. They set up shop on a lot of the fediverse, but we don't have to provide them a space here.

I can't tell what on the left is doing. Someone help?

If you are being serious that's Derek Chauvin murdering George Floyd

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 14 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

I was. Never saw photo before thanks for helping

From Wikipedia:

And the guy representing the DNC is Tou Thao, who prevented onlookers from intervening in the murder. Highly appropriate meme.

Thanks, that is very helpful as I had no idea what the OP image was

Not exactly. The mass pig expansion program across the country in the 1990s was spearheaded by Bill Clinton. The pro pig Dems are just as actively racist and murderous as the pro pig Reps.

Bombs vs bombs with rainbow flags.

That depends entirely on who we vote for in the primaries.

See: Zohran Mamdani for an example

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 42 points 22 hours ago (4 children)

To be fair, Mamdani is facing massive backlash from the Dem establishment.

[–] Signtist@bookwyr.me 28 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

That's the thing; most democrat politicians hate him nearly as much as the republican ones do, as they're more similar to one another than either is to him. There are a few exceptions, but we're going to need people aligned with Mamdani to be the norm rather than the exception if we want the democratic party to become a real force for good.

I doubt it's possible for the DNC to be a force for good, better to have a new party entirely.

I know you know better comrade.
They're stuck in the endless loop of trying to fix something that's broken, while it's functioning perfectly at keeping the status quo.

When I read that, again 🙄, I like to post this, from 1871

"It is well known that the Americans have been striving for 30 years to shake off this yoke, which has become intolerable, and that in spite of all they can do they continue to sink ever deeper in this swamp of corruption. It is precisely in America that we see best how there takes place this process of the state power making itself independent in relation to society, whose mere instrument it was originally intended to be. "

..."we find here two great gangs of political speculators, who alternately take possession of the state power and exploit it by the most corrupt means and for the most corrupt ends – and the nation is powerless against these two great cartels of politicians, who are ostensibly its servants, but in reality exploit and plunder it. "

Marx is always a banger, great quote!

It's June, so the democrat cop should have a pride pin.
