America's political parties need new mascots.

[TygrBright]

The donkey and the elephant are way out of date. Also, in tribute to the largest portion of the Earth's covering, I think we should select sea creatures.

For the GOP, I suggest the pufferfish.

For the Democratic Party, I think the blue whale is uniquely appropriate.

Please discuss...

speculatively,

1. For the time being

The Republicans could use the weeping willow.

[TygrBright]

3. Or the crocodile... n/t

[MoonlitKnight]

2. Ostrich for Republicans

With its head in the ground.

4. The GOP can buy the perfect mascot just down the street from the Four Seasons

I decided not to post a photo of it.

[2naSalit]

10. I concur.

[Bayard]

5. I like the donkey

They are smart, stubborn, honest, and pack a hellofa kick.



On the other hand, it is an insult to elephants--wonderful creatures--to be associated with rethugs.

6. Wise hooty owl for Dems

Ostrich for GOP

[Solly Mack]

7. Any animal would be maligned by an association with the GOP.

8. A "Jim" Crow for republicans is tempting, but . . .

. . . crows are so much more intelligent than the average republican that it'd hardly seem fair to crows. Actually, that's true for elephants too, so . . . yea, let's go with "Jim Crow."

[RockCreek]

9. A dolphin for the Dems

Or an Orca!
