If there is anyone on the planet who gets virtually universal respect, it's fire fighters. To get booed by them is just another example of how much of a piece of shit you are. Like, HUGE turd.
Except they get no respect from the GOP. Look at all the FDNY firefighters that have chronic health issues from working during 9-11 and the GOP refuses to pay for health care. Makes sense they'd get booed.
The right wing in my mom’s town passed a measure to close one of the fire stations (to lower taxes).
Turns out if the fire response times go above a certain threshold, your homeowners insurance goes up by a lot more than the tax cut (I think it saved a couple hundred dollars a year, and added a couple hundred dollars a month to most home insurance in 1/3 of the town).
Once 1/3 of the town realized it, the measures was repealed before the shutdown could happen.
“Sounds like we got some fans and some haters. That's okay,” Vance, who’s been dubbed the “negative rizz” candidate by social media users, said.
Walz, a former union member, championed his and Harris’ pro-labor agenda over that of Trump, who said in a conversation with Elon Musk earlier this month that he would fire federal striking workers, prompting the UAW to file NLRB charges against the duo.
The group, which endorsed Joe Biden in 2020, has yet to make an endorsement, though the Harris campaign has scooped up the support of several of the largest labor groups in the country.
I have no idea what it means. I'm 41 and basically since 2016 the political landscape to me has been nothing but a bunch of rich people telling me they are gonna make things better. No explanation on how it with what. No hard-line messages on topical issues. Just fuckin garbage sound bites and massively overblown/out of context/straight up fabricated quotes.
I didn't get spammed with text messages for the last 6 months telling me all the policy that were gonna get. I didn't get text messages asking what i thought of [insert candidates/party name] actions on whatever. I got 6 months of spam begging for donations. That's it. My preferred party has done nothing but beg me for money via SMS like some desperate pampered chef consultant.
who, by comparison, warmly embraced Walz on Wednesday
This seems like weasel words. Did the firefighters not actually warmly embrace Walz but only treated him better than Vance?
The group, which endorsed Joe Biden in 2020, has yet to make an endorsement, though the Harris campaign has scooped up the support of several of the largest labor groups in the country.
Nothing in the article shows their response to Walz other than that. More stellar "journalism"...
Tim Walz was greeted by applause and no boos. Calling his response “Warm” in comparison to Vance’s is perfectly accurate and more than adequate journalism.
I hate Walz Vance and love that he got boo'd. That said, I don't understand why everyone is making such a big deal of him calling them "haters". That's literally what that word means. I'm a Walz Vance hater. Many of you are haters. It's a description not a slur.
Edit: Yeah I fucked this one up royally, didn't I lol? Sorry folks.
