Th’ dimmycratic party ain’t on speakin’ terms with itsilf.

In Dunne’s Irish-dialect satire (typically voiced by Mr. Dooley), the line jokes that the Democratic Party is so internally divided it can’t even “speak” to itself. The misspelled, colloquial phrasing underscores the speaker’s outsider, barroom-common-sense perspective and sharpens the ridicule: factionalism has become a kind of social estrangement. Beyond a momentary jab at party politics, the remark captures a recurring theme in Dunne’s work—political organizations often fail less from external opposition than from their own quarrels, rival ambitions, and ideological splits, making coherent action or messaging impossible.
