    CNN’s Bakari Sellers responded by saying, “I think that J.D. Vance is kind of the Sarah Palin of Dan Quayles.”

    Hmm, that’s going to cause someone to need some aloe

    JD’s mom was masterbating on her favorite couch, not realizing that JD’s dad had recently done the same… and thus she become pregnant with JD despite the sexless loveless marriage. Nobody told JD about it, but he was always drawn to the place of origin like a salmon.

      Dude I’ll keep it a stack with you. When I first saw you I thought you were an amusing bot. However seeing your message evolve over time, and the consistency with which you keep it up, I’m only left with a profound respect for the sheer effort involved if nothing else.

        Ha! I’m not sure I’ve ever been accused of being a bot. But I do take advantage of copy and paste. 😊

        Keep fighting the good fight!

        I’m a actually just tired of the spam, and a little disappointed that so many people respect this way of using Lemmy. If everyone treated Lemmy like this user does, the place would fail catastrophically.

        This guy started by just spamming the same comment verbatim dozens of times to different threads. That’s just being a spammer. The reason you thought it was a bot is because the content was low quality and low effort.

        And mailing pictures of dolphins and couches to J.D. Vance is funny as a joke, but I can’t see it accomplishing anything else but generating a bit of paper waste. It certainly won’t win Harris any votes, or lose Trump any votes. It’s just petty trolling.

        In less than 4 months America decides whether or not we’re diving head-first into Fascism. Surely there are better forms of activism than whatever petulant nonsense this is.

        Dan Quayle helped save democracy!

        Seriously, Pence called him looking for guidance on the electoral college certification, and it was Quayle who convinced him that he had no choice but to certify the election. He’s earned the right to spell potato however he wants.

          JD is much worse.

          When Palin first joined the McCain ticket, she boosted his poll numbers and none of the criticism she got seemed to stick. It was only when SNL started parodying her that public opinion shifted. On paper she was exactly what McCain needed, both to shore up his base and to add some much need youth and energy, and having that whole family image that polled well with women.

          Obviously we have a lot more information to go on now, but at the time Palin made sense.

          Vance was a terrible pick from the beginning. He’s a nut job that even Republicans aren’t happy with. He appeals to nobody that wouldn’t have already been a Trump supporter. He adds nothing of value, just more shit that people can easily mock and/or be terrified of.

            He adds nothing of value

            He was chosen because he publicly said he would do what Mike Pence wouldn’t do on January 6th.

          Dick was a horrible VP. A vile human being. But on paper he looked decent until the position. Jergin Dick just seems like a horrible choice in every way possible. Not recognizable. Bad reputation. Talks shit about his boss. And flip flopped on everything since forever. Zero integrity.

    Quick, someone make a website on par with https://brettkavanaugh.beer

    Which is sadly a 404 right now :(

    But that link from the internet archives is only from a couple months ago. Hopefully it’s not a permanent 404.

      I still think Obama would have probably won. I didn’t think that poorly of McCain though. Not my politics, but he seemed like a good person.

      Once he picked Palin though…

        No one was going to help McCain, he was a long shot candidate after 8 years of a Republican president that left the country exhausted and fed up, Obama was an answer, McCain was an offer to get more of the same with a little tweak here and there.

        Not mine either but I met him once in a hotel lobby. He was very nice to the group of high schoolers and came off as a decent person but that may have just been him being good at his job.

        I always felt watching that election that he was pushed to the right and out of his comfort zone by the state of his base and even though I didn’t want him to be president I felt a little sorry for him. He would have made a better president than a lot of other Republicans.

    two negatives do make a positive…
