This dude is the guy everyone pretended Bernie was. I still love Bernie and am glad for his politics but Walz has a kind of dad charisma you can't replicate
He mobilized the national guard against protesters. I still like him, but Bernie is better. Bernie is too old now though. We fucked up and don't deserve him.
Mobilizing the national guard against protestors is a really strong way to put him only sending the guard after buildings had burned down, looting had occurred, and the Mayor requested it.
As Governor, I will always defend the right to protest. It is how we express pain, process tragedy, and create change. That is why I'm answering our local leaders' request for Minnesota National Guard to protect the peaceful demonstrators, neighbors, and small businesses in Minnesota.
So yeah this used to drive me to the wall until I learned it's to bypass tiktok front page algorithms. It's a subversive use of self censorship to get the same message out.
I'm a huge fan of the original joke, but I actually feel like this is misinformation that could be bad for the campaign and I'm happy to respectfully discuss why I feel that way.
the right is filled with hypocrites lol. Y'all set the new standard when you were a-ok with Trump shitting on captured soldiers calling them losers, and all the thousands of lies he told. but one guy makes a joke online and you want to cry about it?
that time has passed. We are going to swing that pendulum hard with every dirty trick you used on us.
zero sympathy, bury these fascists under mounds of embarrassment.
JD wears as much eyeliner as a 16 year old girl, there are so many things we can make fun of.
I think he's talking about how JD Vance (probably) didn't actually make sweet sweet love to his couch, enjoy its supple leather curves, or moan as the couch rattled.
I know I seem like a massive stick in the mud but consider that there are people in this very thread struggling with what was really said and what wasn't. I fucking love the jokes and I love batting them among us but this image where it implies he's actually doing these more overt crass things is exactly the sort of image I'd expect my MAGA dad to share as proof of how satanic Walz is.
The stakes are high and memes are a big part of this election, moreso than in 2016 or 2020, and I know how fucking onlinechan that sounds but it's true, in a very mainstream way.
But remember to enjoy the lulz. I don't think the couch meme in its own hurts the man ... Everyone understands that the Internet goes wild with stuff. It's his policies that make him dodgy as hell, but sometimes we gotta stop and appreciate the spectacle of it all.
I truly don't remember anything creepy about Obama/Biden memes. I just looked through ~50 on Google and not a single one had Biden acting creepy. Honestly they're still pretty funny.
"And I gotta tell ya; I can't wait to debate this guy," Walz continued, before pausing for dramatic effect. "That's if he's willing to get off the couch and show up. "See what I did there?"
The crowd was roaring. I'm not sure if he really paused for dramatic effect. They wouldn't have heard him if he had said it right away. But either way, it was very funny.
