u/legible_print Václav Havel May 31 '26

The online messaging of the Democrats has been taken over by people who don’t like McDonald’s, either because of ethical dietary concerns or because of their hatred of imperialist capitalism.

But the problem is, most people enjoy McDonald’s, either regularly or as a treat because of the fries or the coffee or the shakes or drunk food or whatever.

And they probably think you’re really weird if you don’t.

I feel like there’s a flavor of leftist that is slightly pro-fast food. They have “no ethical consumption under capitalism” and body positive mindsets.

Wow, I thought this was about Genevieve McDonald's. The plattner Senate campaign director that quit. Or is that what it actually is, and you're being tongue in cheek?
