Vance spent years in San Francisco working as a venture capitalist. Walz visited the city for the first time in July.

    My favorite part of being a Midwest leftist is being able to tell dumbasses like Vance that I’ve never spent more than a week in California

      I need some Texas leftists with the same please. And some Don’t Mess with Texas on the side. And as a treat, a little bit of, “better shot than a Republican” at the range.

      So tired of crappy wimpy corporate Dems getting the primary win, then getting slaughtered in the general.

        Fun fact: “Don’t Mess With Texas” was originally an anti-littering slogan.

        It was since adopted as a way to deflect criticism of a state so bad that even its own flag rates it one star.

          We woulda been blue decades ago if not for gerrymandering. Even with it, closer every year.

            Yeah, Texas might actually be the single most gerrymandered state in the entire country and that says a fucking LOT!

        I wish, but we’re way too far into the Post-Truth era for reality to matter. If one of their guys says Walz is a coastal elite, then he is one, despite being literally the most Midwestern man alive.

    Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every word.

    Never trust the word of a conservative.

    This one’s not landing for me, maybe I’ve heard this before but I’m not sure what he’s implying with “San Francisco style”. Is that thin crust or deep dish? Does it come with mozzarella or anti-queer dogwhistle? I only spent an afternoon once in SF and I never had a chance to sample their “style” of liberal. Someone help me out here?

    Vance also has a residence in a DC suburb which votes like 75% Democrat, and is arguably even more liberal than SF in many ways. The outer suburbs are more conservative, but JD Vance would never debase himself by living among such boring, sterile plebs.

      Unrelated to the comment itself: I kind of forget that mastodon instances are federated with lemmy instances sometimes. How do lemmy posts look on your end?

    Americans eat cheese style filling all the time that’s never seen a cow.

    Italian style dressing that’s never heard of Europe.

      The important distinction though is that Walz is nowhere close to an SF-style liberal
