WASHINGTON—In an attempt to reach a voter bloc they hoped would be responsive to the party’s message, Democratic leaders employed broad hand gestures and loudly intoned the words “Friend, you understand friend?” during a focus group with working-class Americans, sources confirmed Thursday. “Voooooote…V-V-V-Voooote…Can you say, ‘Vote’?” Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez asked a conference room full of truck drivers, home healthcare workers, and retail associates, offering them candy when they provided desired responses to 2020 candidates and shocking them with a small electric baton when they did not. “Me Tom. Me say, ‘Joe Biden good, Donald Trump bad.’ Say it with Tom, now: ‘Biden good, Trump bad.’” At press time, a fed-up welder reportedly interrupted Perez, who was handing out coloring-book pages of sample ballots, to ask how the party would bring renewable energy jobs to underserved communities.

I don't understand this

Pictured: Aliens puzzled why anyone listens to this guy

Insulting to primates

Buddy buddy. Yeah have being too rude to your president.

It can't all be NYC

Still don't understand why MSNBC doesn't just fire all of their news show people and just have Perez on it to tell liberals what they should think.

Purported official from somewhere advocates voluntary removal of excess parts on incel 'peaceful demonstrators', to curb violent riots, with the burning, looting, & murder stuff happening everywhere nightly...

Tom Perez is a former Civil Rights Lawyer and with him heading the DNC, Democrats gained 40 seats in the House, flipping districts Red to Blue, not to mention a handful of Governor seats. When did stop being funny? Satire only works if the reality is the opposite.

Ah, yes, the Onion always has it’s finger on the pulse of the important issues of the day.

Meanwhile an orange billionaire who would otherwise have not even considered a working man to be worth wasting time spitting on has used his 6th grade vocabulary to establish a rapport.

'Why doesn't the Democratic party center everything on *me*?' writes affluent white male Brooklynite for the 347th time this year.

We get that Bernie lost, but are you seriously being pissy about it four months later

Bernie lost twice

Remember when the Onion was actually funny and not churning out outrage porn for white affluent males because they're owned by a venture capital firm? Pepperidge Mom remembers.

You’re so very white, white baby.

'Riot, You Understand Riot?' * bashes self in head with skateboard, starts fire

hahahaha Home healthcare and retail workers vote R- brilliant!! And the urban democrat strongholds have mensa offices on every corner. Biting hilarity! Rapier wit!! SLLLAAAAAYYYY!!

'Funny, You Understand Funny?' Gesture Disaffected Readers To Once-Tolerable Satire Publication

wut

You guys would be batting .850 if you could just stop doing this joke. There was a brief window where Twitter-driven internal Democratic power struggles were newsworthy enough for this stuff to sorta-justify Onion stories. That time passed six months ago.

I thought this was supposed to be a parody page

Ouch.

Wow this one is really lame. Why don't you do one on how the Dems hope that by repeating the fine people hoax enough times, Satan will ride in and save the election for them. That's their last chance since killing millions of babies and seeking their parts didn't work.
