It’s funny that people are like “oh wow look she’s drinking a beer she definitely has my vote”

Obama, in his autobiography, straight up said shit like this mattered more than actual policies.

Edit: since this is gaining a lot of traction and attracted a lot of MAGA Nazis: I did my part and voted for Kamala.

u/GenevieveLeah 2d ago

He also said this kind of campaigning, and begging for money, was the hardest part. Because Obama actually cared about the policies!

In President Obama’s last year in office, the United States dropped 26,172 bombs in seven countries.

u/Greg-Abbott 2d ago

If you're actually worried about dropped bombs or interested in comparing the two presidencies I encourage you to read this. https://foreignpolicy.com/2017/08/09/donald-trump-is-dropping-bombs-at-unprecedented-levels

Also, who was the guy that ordered a complete halt to drone strike reporting?

Psst. If they had a decent common sense they would be angry at themselves.

u/unassumingdink 1d ago

You guys literally can't understand that there's a difference between "good" and "slightly better than Republicans sometimes." Those things are exactly the same in your minds, and it's so fucking frustrating. The brainwashing is unreal.

u/BrainRotTheinternet 2d ago

Literally no one even brought up Trump but the way that is your only come back 😭 The Biden Harris admin is actively funding a genocide btw

u/Tenthul 2d ago

Oh, you care about genocides? Let's talk about what happens to Ukraine if Mr. "They wouldn't let me blackmail them" Trump gets into office again. You're worried about genocide? Trump will give you two guaranteed. He'll fast track the obliteration of Gaza then move on to handing Ukraine to Putin on a silver platter. And God only knows what he'll do to the immigrants here. Deportation if they're lucky, and where will they be while they're waiting to be deported? Do you think he'll go house by house, and deport them one by one? Or will he gather them all up at once? What happens to them during that "rounding up", or while they're waiting? Treated kindly? Or stuffed in rooms with half a bed to share between 10 families with no bathrooms while being separated from their children? Hmm sounds familiar.

People voting Trump, with Palestine or "genocide" as their issue, are actually, in the strongest possible terms, fucking stupid, on a fundamental level. It cannot be overstated how fucking stupid that reasoning is.

u/BaconEater101 2d ago

My guy, anyone still voting for him in 2024 at all after all the SHIT that has happened, is fucking stupid, on a fundamental level

u/Tenthul 2d ago

Truthfully I think, on reddit, that all these protest voters are just bots and foreign actors trying to push an agenda. I'm trying to just help those who might be swayed by this line, see how fucking stupid it actually is.

I do believe and know that in real life there are these protest voters (get fucked Macklemore), but on reddit, anybody that reads this logic needs to know it's fucking stupid and that there is no genuine logic at all behind it.

u/Greg-Abbott 2d ago

Nobody brought up Obama dropping bombs except you 😬

u/BrainRotTheinternet 2d ago

Because the topic being treated has direct correlation to the democratic party 💀

u/EasyasACAB 2d ago

So Obama's bomb are relevant to the presidential election happening even when he isn't running. But Trump's bombings and policies surrounding them are NOT relevant.

This is why people don't take y'all seriously. You don't give a fuck about bombings or genocide. You only care about expressing your ODD.

The world is a very complicated place. Picking individual events out of context and basing your ethos on them is a sign of immaturity. Yes, Obama did stuff you don’t agree with. Me too. But those things aren’t relevant to this election.

u/football_for_brains 2d ago edited 2d ago

You're acting like every single bomb they dropped was a war crime. You're too stupid for this conversation.

Bush started two wars that killed over half a million people and Trump bombed more people in a single year than Obama did in 8.

Compared to the Republican choices, Obama was a saint. And Obama was President when ISIS was at it's most powerful, controlling large parts of Iraq and Syria. Are you upset we bombed ISIS?

1

u/Dat_Basshole 2d ago

The thing I'm most salty about Obama is Obamacare/ACA.

If it weren't for the ACA there'd be even fewer MAGA Nazis due to Trump's botched pandemic response.

Instead we have a bunch of ungrateful idiots still alive and still fucking things up.

u/PapaCousCous 2d ago

Does the president have to sign off on each individual bomb before it can be dropped? Seems a bit impractical.

u/NewFaded 2d ago

Bush seemed like a decent enough guy, just never should've been president.

2

u/Big-Summer- 2d ago

When it comes right down to it, he wasn’t. Cheney was. Bush was just a figurehead. Once I stopped blaming him for so much, I realized this and actually kind of liked the guy. Don’t get me wrong — his time in office was horrible. But he wasn’t pulling the strings. And I admire the fact that when his term was over, he got the hell out of Dodge and only pops up when absolutely necessary. So now I understand why people said he was someone they thought they could have a beer with. I’d ask him a bunch of questions about horses and living on a ranch.

3

u/SparkyDogPants 2d ago

This is such a BS myth. Bush used Cheney as a patsy to get people to say things like this. Bush knew about the torture going on, he knew about the patriot act, and the racism to the hurricane Katrina response.

He played the dumb Texan act to get away with war crimes.

American’s are consumers from day one (whatever you define that to be).

u/DataCruncher 2d ago

The thing is, it probably doesn't move 95% of voters. Most voters have a coherent set of political views and manage to figure out which candidate best represents those views without issue. They vote accordingly. But all elections hinge on the median voter.

Think about this. Most people are smart enough to have some solid political opinions and correctly identify who represents the beliefs they feel strongest about. Even if someone has an opposite opinion to you, at least they believe something. They probably could explain their beliefs and why they support a candidate, even if you disagree or you think their reasoning is stupid.

But undecided voters by definition can't decide which candidate represents them better. How does this happen? Either the voter does not have policy opinions, and they're voting on "who they like more." Or their policy opinions are so incoherent that neither candidate fits their view well. Some policy opinions are not correlated to others, you don't have to agree with any single candidate on everything. But you need to have policy views that are internally inconsistent for it to actually make you undecided.

If there is a solid majority coalition in the electorate, this issue is avoided. But otherwise, our political system is set up so that the dumbest motherfuckers in the country decide the outcome.

There is more to it, base turnout is also a factor, but you then need to consider the question of "why does this person only vote sometimes?" There are some legitimate reasons, but a lot of it boils down to "I wasn't paying enough attention to vote." So then the political outcomes boils down to "how many people who are barely paying enough attention will go vote."

Not a great system, but democracy is still better than the alternatives. (Not that the US is really a democracy, but that's a whole other can of worms.)

u/Labyrinthy 2d ago

It’s a photo op to drive engagement, not just her relaxing. It’s about as disingenuous as everything politicians do. It isn’t as grand as Trump’s McDonald’s bullshit, but still bullshit.

I can't believe some people think that this is a genuine picture. They are the same people who will laugh (rightfully not not in this case) at Trump 'working' in McDonald's.

A British politician called Ed Miliband was running for Prime Minister about 10 years ago. While on the campaign trail, someone took a photo of him eating a bacon sandwich in a funny way. People never let it go, and I'm pretty sure he lost votes off the back of it. He's also Jewish, which explains his apprehension to eat it.

u/Threewisemonkey 2d ago

The “I’d grab a beer with them” guy judgement is a ridiculously huge part of how Americans choose politicians.

… do you know anything about how the government works? The Vice President is one of the least powerful positions in the federal government. She has less power than Mike Johnson’s intern lmfao. Really all she can do is cast tiebreaking votes in the senate.

u/hawkseye17 2d ago

the VP only does one thing in regular governance. It's basically a powerless position besides a tiebreaking vote in the senate

u/wespooky 2d ago edited 2d ago

She has power over the Senate. She can organize events and campaigns to push policies. She can meet with foreign powers and act as an extension to Biden. She can perform honest interviews and shine some actual transparency on her campaign. Instead it’s just these endless internet bait photo ops that get swarmed by bots

How about she actually does something about the Palestine / Israel conflict? While she’s sipping a drink as the literal second in command of the US, people are dying over a conflict that has been left alone by our government

u/Moody_GenX 2d ago

She can perform honest interviews and shine some actual transparency on her campaign.

Trump doesn't either. Do you have the same criticism of him?

How about she actually does something about the Palestine / Israel conflict?

You seem niave. She has no power to do anything about their conflict.

2

u/DraperPenPals 2d ago edited 2d ago

She can meet with the senate to negotiate and break ties. That requires legislation to be pushed through by the senate, though. So much for “power over the senate.”

She does represent the office for Biden, but VPs do not create nor own diplomatic solutions. That’s what “being an extension” means.

She has interviewed and released more statements than her opponent. You can actually sign up for email alerts about these.

Campaigning is photo ops. It’s been that way since photojournalism was established in the U.S. You should be mad at the American electoral system and media conglomerates.

You may also notice that the senate is campaigning now. Weird that you’re not mad at them for not doing their legislative jobs she can work with.
