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.
Taco Bell needs to jump on this.
Especially with his birthday approaching.
$1 Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos.
Make it happen, Taco Bell.
Nah, new limited edition Chicken Doritos Locos Supreme Ruler edition that gets topped with a generous layer of ketchup. Also available in child size for those with tiny hands.
Their parent company might not want the attention of the orange toddler.
Where have I heard this before…
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
Haha, yeah and name hospitals taco so people can use them for free. Would be hilarious.
Sounds like communism, maybe you shouldn’t undermine the resistance by moving even slightly to the left ever?
I’d rather they start an impeachment.
They also give out free votes to the Republican party in Congress.
They’re planning to take away food stamps, end health insurance for the needy, and are trying to exterminate the T in LGBT (don’t worry, they’ll come for the LGBs too since its last hired, first fired). But, the best Dems can do is giving out tacos once as a political ploy?
The conservatards are literally at war with women right now. The Democratic Party suggests we eat tacos. Well played /S
Would you rather they not give out tacos? Fascist.
Maybe you should think about how you can best support the democratic party, instead of failing them by asking them to do literally anything? I think that makes the entire invention of fascism your fault.
Would you rather they not give out tacos? Fascist.
I’d rather something more substantial than one stunt of tacos. Like, give tacos to Americans in the Republicans home districts.
Maybe you should think about how you can best support the democratic party, instead of failing them by asking them to do literally anything?
I vote for them. I donate to the ACLU, the HRC, and the Trevor Project. I am a layperson who is not needed by the political machine more than every other year. I am working on passing the bar exam, so I can’t quite litigate yet. But, I will be in a position in a bit. So, do you have any suggestions?
My point that I made here:
are trying to exterminate the T in LGBT
was that evil must be opposed beyond mere tacos one time in one location as an obvious political stunt. Ask a T if these tacos would make the Zyklon B go down any easier.
Okay, so, first off, the democratic party cannot fail, only be failed. Big kamala slogan, if you even bothered to pay attention to the campaign, and i think it holds pretty true.
So if the dems are ever not doing something you want them to, it is entirely and personally your fault.
Furthermore, action for the sake of action is literally one of umberto eco’s main identifiers for fascism, so asking the dems to do literally anything makes you the real fascist.
death by tacos
I polled four trans women and one trans man. All the trans women said if the zyklon b had to be adninistered orally, they would prefer it be on a taco than straight. The trans guy was from the midwest and asked if it would be spicy, so i think thats the main point of contention, and i cannot imagine fascists knowing what peppers are. Maybe dont speak ror marginalized people without their consent, asshole.
queer people in general and trans people in particular
look, sometimes in war, to accomplish absolutely nothing, you have to feed hundreds of thousands, or even millions of your own people into a meat grinder. Great generals like luigi cadorna knew this. But apparently some dipshit half-a-lawyer thinks they know better than the most lethal general italy has ever had.
if the dems are ever not doing something you want them to, it is entirely and personally your fault.
It’s my fault in that I am not rich like the big donors who bought our political system? I’m sorry that I do not have a million dollars to throw around.
Furthermore, action for the sake of action is literally one of umberto eco’s main identifiers for fascism, so asking the dems to do literally anything makes you the real fascist.
Maybe, but it can also be the grounds for revolution rather than fascism. But even if this point is correct, I ask: is better to go quietly into the extermination camps they’re setting up? Or should you ardently resist, struggle, and force them to drag you into the camp? I quote Dylan Thomas to make my point:
Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
I polled four trans women and one trans man. All the trans women said if the zyklon b had to be adninistered orally
Polling people over Zyklon B and its application is absurd. It shows that you either asked a foolish question or the recipients did not comprehend Zyklon B. Zyklon B was the cyanide-based pesticide gas used by the Nazis at Auschwitz-Birkenau, Majdanek, and other extermination camps. My point is that we’re dealing with Nazis resurgent, and the Dem’s tacos are a so limited in their messaging/resistence that its absurd. Evil is winning, and tacos are not how you oppose evil.
Maybe dont speak ror marginalized people without their consent, asshole
You don’t know me. You don’t know what communities I am and am not apart of. Furthermore, it is bold of you to assume I was speaking for anybody but myself. I was merely stating my position that tacos are a poultry pittance of a resistance against the evil that is the Republican party.
trans people are stupid and don’t know about the holocaust
One of them made a joke that referenced fritz haber. I think she knows what zyklon b was.
rage, rage against
So you admit you’re just preaching hate? Because youre the real fascist?
grounds for revolution
Fascism is just revolutionary conservatism. You’re really not helping your case here.
tacos are not how you oppose evil
You don’t know me! You dont know how i do things!
Also opposing evil is action, and action is fascist.
You know what neitzsche said: “he who fights monsters is always automatically worse than the other guy, because hes fighting abd fighting is bad.”
So you admit you’re just preaching hate? Because youre the real fascist?
Rage is not the same thing as hate. Where rage is an intense feeling of passion, hate is an extreme dislike or disgust. They are synonymous, but they are not the same. Rage would have been what they French expressed against King Louis the XVI and the first two estates, hate is what the Nazis expressed against the Jews and the other undesirables.
Fascism is just revolutionary conservatism. You’re really not helping your case here.
Fascism need not even be brought in via a coup. While Mussolini took over from a coup, Hitler was elected. They were revolutionary mindsets in that they were so diametrically opposed to the established reigns of power, but conservatism is not necessarily the direction revolution must follow. Take for example the French revolution or compare the Mensheviks with the Bolsheviks. Both those revolutions had a leftist slant. Hell even the American Revolution was a leftist position compared to the British parliament’s conservatism that was undertaken in during its empire.
Also opposing evil is action, and action is fascist.
Really? Tell that to MLK, Rosa Parks, or the march across the bridge to Montgomery. Tell that to the allies as they fought against actual Nazis.
rage is cool and good
So you admit that what you really want isn’t freedom, but a new red terror that makes the streets run red with blood? Thanks, comrade 1794; youre really selling the hell out of this
i listened to a podcast once
And kinda missed the point
nuh uh! Sometimes action is good!
Im sorry, but no; all action is fascist and only total submission and paralysis can be accepted.
fought against the actual nazis
Im old enough to have actually talked to a few of those guys, and, um… Clearly you aren’t, or missed the opportunity.
Plus they took action, which is the most fascist tjing you can do. Fighting against fascism is the real fascism.
fucking pathetic
In this thread there’s a bunch of leftists who voted to make the democrats powerless wondering what they’re powerless.
How’s that progressive party coming along?
Almost ready for the 2026 midterms?
Non-voting democrats were further to the right. https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/democratic-nonvoters-policy-preferences/
You can probably drop this trope now that there’s plenty of data showing that. It was largely moderate, working class Democrats who didn’t vote, not online leftists.
Does that mean the democrats are doing the right thing by moving the party right but they didn’t take it far enough?
No, when asked about specific policies the majority of people still support progressive policies. How the poll questions are worded are incredibly important to how people respond
Not to mention the morality side of it

So why did the progressives vote but the moderates didn’t?
Seems like the democrats need to move right to capture them.
That’s addressed in detail in the 3rd and 4th link
But data proving them wrong is a russian bot psyop, or something.
This is genuinely not true. Same goes for 2016. Non-voting democrats tend to skew conservative. You’re just trying to start a fight with the left. That’s not helpful to our current situation; it literally only helps the fascists.
I’m an anarchist and anti-electoralist and I still voted for the cop. Blame the democratic party and ignorant libs for the fat Ls we’re all taking. Leftists aren’t a big enough voting bloc to sway the election, and most of us still vote no matter how stupid and pointless it is.
Funny. Now do something of substance.
I wish we had a real opposition party instead of whatever this generational disconnect and enrichment cult is.
This kind of ontological chauvanism and privileging of the “real” is exactly why nobody genuinely woke will ever tolerate your presence for more than five minutes.
Wanting things that are “real”? Grow up.
“Real” by not being weak ass cowards that stand in silence or enable the GOP’s agenda. The one who should grow up is you.
So you don’t care that it’s real, just better written? Fuck, i can give you that, if you like.
Can we finally get taco trucks on every corner? I’m still waiting for that catastrophe the republicans said would happen.
Another broken campaign promise.
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.

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
Something, something, taco truck on every corner?
Instead of doing policy, they do tacos.
Por que no los dos?
They go high, we go taco.
They go low, we go tacos.
Tacos are delicious, though. 🌮
Hey it’s bread AND a circus how fun!
What policy are the national Democrats intended to be doing with their swanky majorities of -8 in the House of Representatives and -5 in the Senate?
This is part of what the opposition is supposed to do. They criticise, make fun of, offer legislative resistance to, and draw attention to the bad policies of the government.
Did you not watch middle aged Korean politicians scaling fences and grabbing stormtroopers’ guns in the streets?
Why do you demand so little of your elected officials?
I’m not sure exactly what, but it should be something closer to what many brave Americans did in San Diego and Minneapolis recently. Giving out free tacos is better than nothing I guess, but it’s not the level of effort their responsibilities require in the moment.
What happened in San Diego and Minneapolis?
Protestors surrounded gestapo goon squads to make everything more difficult for them, while shouting “SHAME” and “GET THE FUCK OUT”
The story how they got to be a minority is an epic story of mismanagement, corruption and insanity that stretches over many decades.
There is nothing wrong with free tacos, but it’s like polishing a mountain high turd
They can stop 6-8 of their own members from voting in favor of fascism.
They can make tangible changes in reality instead of lip service.
They can form a coalition and physically restrict access to the senate floor so nothing else can pass.
They can do a lot better if they weren’t complicit cowards
What are some examples of non-lip-service changes to national policy that the Democratic Party could be making right now?
It’s almost like there’s an agenda on Lemmy to sabotage the next election.

Why are you strawmanning his argument? The point is about all the things other than “changes to national policy” the Democrats can do, including obstructing negative changes to it.
Hey learn to read and i might reply in good faith
What policy are the national Democrats intended to be doing with their swanky majorities of -8 in the House of Representatives and -5 in the Senate?
Some lawmakers acknowledge that the filibuster, which has effectively set a 60-vote supermajority requirement for passing legislation in the Senate, could doom many of the proposals they have championed
Like the Republicans wouldn’t just get rid of the filibuster the first time it’s used against a major Republican policy objective
That’s been the excuse since 2005, when Bill Frist dangled “Nuclear Option” over the judiciary committee and Democrats fell over one another confirming Bush judges as a result.
Thankfully, the liberals aren’t living to regret any of that.
Fucking good, make them do it
