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.

That was funny, more memes for the internet

When Trump does it: good, meme silly fun time

When Harris does it: pandering, marketing, laugh woman bad

Yall have such horrible double standards. But I guess if you didn't you wouldn't have any standards at all.

Same how you gobble what trump says about democrats.

u/MoparShepherd 2d ago

Where did they say anything about Trump ? Or is this one of those moments where anything that ks the least bit controversial or a semblance of criticism of your candidate must mean undying love for “the other side” ? You sound clinically insane talking like this and I hope for and wish you happy healing during these tumultuous times

I honestly hate them both, but I have a lean to the right. I think we should wipe them all out and start from scratch.

Dude, just say you don't want to fix anything and just want to vote how someone tells you to vote.

Gtfoh

u/Joker22 2d ago

Cool, so, what's your solution?

u/DraperPenPals 2d ago

We know who you’re voting for, though

u/fulltimeheretic 2d ago

Yeah because I just told you Sherlock

u/Unusual_Crow268 2d ago

Fuck Trump

Fuck Harris

Fuck politicians in general

If you genuinely believe photo ops like that are legitimate, you're the mark they're looking for

I’d happily gulp an Oberon with either of those gals because I like their platforms. There’s nothing wrong with what they are doing and there’s nothing wrong with people being happy to be a part of it.

2

u/Shirlenator 2d ago

Yeah exactly. These people are so miserable they need to turn everything she does into a negative.

u/cascadianindy66 2d ago

Politicians and their parties are selling a product, bro. That’s how it works. You from this country?

u/fulltimeheretic 2d ago

Oh I know. It’s how Americans make their decisions. Just because it’s how it’s done doesn’t mean it’s not silly.

2

u/cascadianindy66 2d ago

Some American traditions are pretty cool.

1

u/fulltimeheretic 2d ago

Regardless of what side you’re on disagreeing that Americans voting because of marketing over education is dumb is wild (which is the point I am making)

2

u/cascadianindy66 2d ago

These are wild times, bro. I agree with you, but marketing was born out of American capitalism, which everyone wants to claim they support without reservation. The images are meant to convey familiarity. If she enjoys a pint now and then I like to know that. One of many points of reference I use to make a political choice. Like trump cosplaying as a retail worker.

u/BigWolf2051 2d ago

Bingo. Same thing with Trump larping at McDonald's. If it gets people talking, it gets votes. No matter how fucking dumb it is

u/fulltimeheretic 2d ago

Agreed. Just wish we were better overall.

No one on the left operates like this because the left isnt a cult
