    Yeah let’s talk about some stupid meme instead of real issues like single payer healthcare, inequality, and I dunno maybe the fact we just had the hottest ever recorded temperatures on Earth in human history.

    Filling the narrative with this drama detracts from focusing public attention on real issues.

    But I guess this Vance guy prob just needs to drink what plants crave and not talk like a fag and everything will be ok.

      One, it’s not good to use slurs; even if this isn’t a situation about two men. Two, are you implying Vance’s a gay couch? Three, did you just assume that coach’s gender?

        It’s not a slur. The saying is from the movie Idiocracy where society talks like that.

        I was implying that Lemmy is in that state of Idiocracy where real issues aren’t discussed but calling everyone a couch fucker who you disagree with is ok.

          I get where you are coming from. We have a few main factions on Lemmy (tankies, progressives, moderates/liberals, and trolls) and in JD Vance we all found something to laugh at together. Don’t rock the boat. Republicans don’t care about the issues. Democrats know about the issues; we are waiting on Harris to see her platform and which issues she cares about.

      The average Murican voter cannot comprehend what you call “real” issues. This gossipy, high school, melodrama has much better chance to reach them
