From the link

The U.S. is keen on using a catchphrase "Carrot and stick." It would be better for the "Donkey" of the U.S. Democratic Party to lick the carrot.

Hmmmmm. Was something lost in translation?

Need some help on parsing out some Korean over here.

I am checking the original version in Korean. Not sure if the phrase correctly translates to licking the carrot or eating the carrot. "Eating" may be more accurate.

Some speculation that there is a sexual reference to the original statement. Unsure.
