[JAN 2022 POLL] Should the dolphin replace the donkey as the Democratic Party's symbol?

[Kamala's side hoe]

I'm tired of having the donkey represent the Democratic Party! No one wants to be called an ass. I think Democrats should change their animal symbol.

I honestly think it should be the dolphin instead.

1. Dolphins work in groups and are not individualistic. (Welfare state instead of free market)
2. Dolphins are known to have sex outside of reproduction (socially liberal instead of conservative)
3. Dolphins communicate to each other (diplomacy vs. sudden rush to war)

Yes I know those are generalizations.

Bringing this back from 10 years ago. Mods, feel free to move to a different subforum.

Why the hell not?

What about a Panther?

If the dolphin can have a unicorn horn, sure.

[Big Abraham]

Perhaps an obese cat would be a more fitting mascot, along with a fat pig for the Republicans.

[Gracile]

FWIW the donkey was never the party's official logo, their official logo is now a capital D in a blue circle. Frankly, I think the "D" is a terrible logo and is pretty generic.

I actually like the donkey a lot since it symbolizes a kind of scrappiness and being in touch with ordinary, working people. I wish the party would make donkey imagery more visible again.

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

I vote for the Honey Badger.

[YE]

They should change their name before they scrap the donkey.

[Vaccinated Russian Bear]

Democrats leaders should be replaced with the smarts Dolphins.

[Pericles]

That links to environmentalism for me. Maybe that is a vote-winner, but it should be a very important part of the agenda.

[Joe Republic]

Whatever works to keep Miami-Dade in our column, sure.

[ultraviolet]

Yes if only for a change of pace

It would also differentiate itself from an elephant more

[Fuzzy Bear]

No.

These are creations of Thomas Nast, a cartoonist of historical magnitude who should not be forgotten.

The jackass was the unofficial symbol of the Democrats going all the way back to Jackson.

[Lexii, harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy]

If the dolphin can have a unicorn horn, sure.

So, a narwhal?

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

No

[Mr. Reactionary]

No.

For good reason

[Badger]

I vote for the Honey Badger.

[Mr. Smith]

No.

Replace it with a sloth for being so low-energy.

At least dolphins are aggressive.

[Utah Neolib]

Literally no one cares what the animal associated with political parties are.

[Thank you for being a friend...]

Pro-Dolphin here.  They have gay sex orgies in the ocean.  A sin to God and Nature says Pat Robertson.  Ultra-cool aquarobics says me (:

Poll currently stands at 12 Yes - 27 No - 6 Other (45 Total). Original 2012 poll is 13 Yes - 22 No - 11 Other.

Also LOL @ 2012 BRTD's Pokemon-themed suggestion. Milotic is a Gen 3 Pokemon from the Hoenn region (geographically analogous to RL Kyushu), while Muk is a Gen 1 Pokemon from the Kanto region (geographically analogous to the RL Tokyo area). Roughly analogous to real-life D trends in the Sun Belt and R trends in the Rust Belt.

Unfortunately wolves have some fascist connotations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_Wolves

I think there was a murderous Serbian paramilitary group with a similar name too.

I'd prefer both parties choose Pokémon instead of real animals.

Democrats: Milotic



Republicans: Muk

Tokyo is a Rust Belt-like city?

I know little about Japanese geography but that seems kind of strange for the most populated metro area on Earth. I assume Tokyo is the sort of place that in a US context would be heavily D and trending that way.

Do you know the reason why the Donkey was used in 1800 it meant Christian but during the Industrial Revolution it means Urban Poverty, it mean Christian in 1800 because Dixiecrats we're for Apartheid for females and Native American later Latinos, and Blks whom couldn't vote they were property but during Karl Marx era it meant secularism, away from Apartheid but urban poverty and Jesus was against the Romans taking tax money away from citizens

Elephant was used by GOP due to being strong on Defense compassionate Conservative during the Revolution and Civil War Days but states rights during Goldwarer days and against Tax hikes
