Fox News seems real focused on talking about kid dicks and vaginas.
Didn't you hear that "He's for you, She's for they/ them" was the most influential ad in 2024? They found a button, you better fucking believe they're spamming that shit.
Problem is, they don't know why that ad worked (it wasn't the transphobia, it was highlighting the status quo ness of Harris' campaign) so they're just shouting this point for nothing. Well, hatred is their goal, so I guess not nothing nothing
That's about the only thing they focus on because "men in women's sports" and "protect the children!!!111 because OMG, the WOKE IDEOLOGY111!" is a wedge issue they see working.
On just about everything else they are underwater, including immigration.
Well, they had to find something new to rage about, since society has moved on from talking about the evils of butt sex, even though these macho guys were busy getting pegged by their liberal wives and the tricks they were picking up off the street.
Jumping Jesus, he burned him to a cinder!
It's a shame the homunculus is too low-wattage (😅) to feel shame or failure, but you have to take what you can get.
Waters is ready to be sweeped with the ashes of last years bbq.
It is a breath of fresh god damn air to hear a politician speak like that. I love that he agreed to go to Fox News so he can directly tell them to fuck off in such a manner. This guy and Mamdani are cutting through all the bullshit and saying "do you actually want to talk about improving our society or are you just fishing for soundbites?"
God, I hope that last part is a real quote
Finally someone knows how to put these bastards in their place with these stupid fucking questions.
Wow
Ooooooh snap!!!! I'll have not a pint but an entire barrel of that!
Isn't Acyn a big right wing troll? Do they think this looks good for Watters?
I WAS going to Vote for El-Sayed because ALL his Policies will BETTER my Life BUT because he wants MEN to play in WOMENS sports I'm going to Vote for the Person who wants me to DIE!
-Republicans who DONT watch Women's Sports and know ZERO Female Athletes!
They call trans women "men" but they sure do treat them the same way they treat women.
Yepppppp
They know cunningham... and clark... and... uhh...
And probably Lola Bunny.
That’s a lie. “You” weren’t going to vote for him because his name is Abdul.
(Yes, I know its a bit)
The dude who trapped his now-wife in his company by deflating her tires wants to pretend he's worried about women's issues?
Fuck off you perverted plastic-faced ross gellar knockoff
This is the totally-not-gay asshole that is so obsessed with not coming off as gay or woman-like that he has "rules for men".
And boy, are they stupid rules. Don't eat ice cream in public. Don't use a straw. No soup for you. Don't cross your legs.
Someone needs to get his hard drive content and/or phone data and leak it.
Dude probably hasn't washed his own ass in years because he thinks it's gay
wtf?
wtf! Does he use romance movies to get ideas?
The guy definitely has a broken brain. He's worried about men waving with both hands vs. just one.
You know, because of Teh Ghey.
I swear it’s like a magical incantation. You speak the words “men in women’s sports” and it makes conservatives completely forget their tax dollars are literally being stolen as the President defrauds the government.
That's why they keep hammering on it. That particular issue is about 80% in their favor, but the other thing is....the amount of people we are talking about is sometimes zero in certain jurisdictions.
So these yokels are voting against their own interests in nearly every way about an "issue" that is possibly not even a thing in their area.
It requires a staggering amount of hatred and delusion. If you talk to some of these people they'll start talking about the "people with blue hair" and "transgender ideology" almost without any prompting whatsoever. It really is something that they have been trained to think and talk about constantly.
Perfection!
While left-leaning Democrats have gained momentum within their own party by winning primaries, the real challenge is whether they can get elected in November during the general election.
This isn't really true. A ton of Americans are ready to vote for a socialist and enough of the rest would come over when they hear about the policies. The tough part is getting through the DNC's filter and get past the millions they'll throw at your opponent to fuck over anyone who challenges their hegemony
Yes, but mass media wants that to be true, so that's how they are spinning it.
Can't have horse races if all but one of the horses are dead. Gotta put some lipstick on that cadaver, make this seem competitive (Sayed does have an uphill battle, cause racism and islamophobia)
Make no mistake, they establishment will encourage people to sit out the election rather than vote for a leftist. Vote blue no matter who unless it's a leftist then fuck you, is their mantra.
Sure that's why you can't actually cite anyone in power anywhere saying that.
Even fucking Hakeem "wanna buy my mom?" Jeffries will tell you to vote for the left and you'll still be here, lying like a Republican.
I think the implication is that The Democratic Party is not leftist, but rather centre leaning or even right wing in some interpretations. And then when an actual leftist candidate runs as a Democrat, the party works against them because they don't want to shift to the left at all.
Yes, I understand...and he's wrong. It's a dumbass take not rooted in reality.
JFC, all they want to talk about is trans.
We have donnie trying to rig elections, we have donnie doing illegal tariffs, everything is expensive AF and AI is threatening so many jobs, the conservatives ripped away our healthcare and fucked up the food supply, we have a war with Iran and the strait is closed...
And all the conservative want to talk about is trans while donnie is preoccupied with stupid golden ballrooms, getting his name on everything, posting stupid AI memes and gluing tacky gold shit on the walls of the WH.
Conservative rednecks are apparently fine with all this other shit as long as there is not gender affirming care for anyone (they talk about minors first, but...get real) and "men in women's sports".
as long as there is not gender affirming care
Except when its testosterone for low-t males.
Or plastic surgery for their wives.
JFC, all they want to talk about is trans.
Because everything else is going so well for them!
MAGA thinks they smell blood in the water on the trans issue, so that's their chosen wedge issue for the foreseeable future. I'm the past it was abortion, flag burning, kneeling, gay adoption, gay marriage, gay gayness, etc.
The proper answer to any trans nonsense is: "I am not a doctor, and I won't presume to interfere with the medical decisions between any patient and their doctor, on any subject. I have absolutely no opinions on this subject, and do not consider it an appropriate subject for a political discussion. It is an appalling and indefensible political strategy to use any medical issue as a political talking point, so I'm not interested in your opinion either."
That works for ANY medical issue, including abortion.
Jesse has a beautiful punchable face.
So by percentage I'm more male than someone who is sircumsized! LOL. Hold on I gotta suck this coc... oanut yes, people suck cocoanuts. No I didn't have a Freudian slip, I got all my foreskin, why would I.
I might consider religion, if there was one god accepting peoples’ bodies as us.
