A place to share and discuss stories from The Onion, Clickhole, and other satire.
Great Satire Writing:
Genuinely curious what people want the Democrats to specifically do right now, apart from vague calls of "something" and "more" and "better." At least on a federal level, aren't they pretty much powerless at this point? What even can they do?
Not lining up to bend over for republicans would be nice a nice start. Even a quarter the obstructionism as the republican party has put forth when Democrats are in charge would be appreciated.
Certainly, but like -- what specifically? If you could pick one specific thing they should do/have done, what would it be?
The next real test will probably be the budget vote in the House. Post-Trump Republicans have historically been unable to pass budgets without democrat help, even when they had a majority, so one thing democrats can do is squeeze the GOP dry for concessions before helping them pass the next budget.
Voting against literally any of the trump cabinet nominees would have been a start
massive string of lawsuits

Surely this will be an Onion link
Oh, for fuck's sake…
Also, please don't link to Xitter.
When eighty million Americans sat out the election they sent a pretty clear message that they're okay with whatever Trump and Co wants to do.
I hate that fucking song so much.
They’re preparing a stockpile of spears and chainmail so they can rule uncontested over whatever is left of America by the end of the year.
Considering what they’ve done so far.. I’d say it’s an improvement.
Well still better than trying to "find bipartisanship" that these idiot leaders keep talking about.
Jeezus, they need to only have people under the age of 50 to revitalize any messaging. An anthem from a washed up pop star celeb is not going to do shit. Celebs are a turn off. The election not 3 months ago proved that.
Maybe the democrats need a media apparatus to propagandize people against whatever the republicans want to do 🙄
Oh, so they've finally decided to do anything at all? I wish this wasn't the Onion, because I'm really starting to think the democrats got what they wanted when he was elected.
I assume this is a new/newer song? I am not sure I've heard it, and if so, I certainly didn't know it was Katy Perry's "Roar".
It came out in 2013, so no, not new at all. It was an incredibly popular song, with over a billion listens on Spotify.
