There’s so many actual weird things Vance can be criticized and attacked for, clinging on to the unsubstantiated couch meme is just boring.

      Nah I think the dude is pretty much the worst guy in the world but the couch thing feels weak somehow. Then again I’m not American so I don’t really care.

      Ah yes, and we’re all Russian disinformation agents. Dude, Lemmy votes and comments are public. Check mine and try that opinion again.

        After considering your points on this issue, I have decided that I will continue to draw attention to JD Vance being a mascara-loving couch fucker, and will do it more often.

        The purpose is twofold: First, it is well known that this is getting under his skin and having a negative effect on the GOP campaign. Second, it annoys you, so now I feel compelled to up my efforts.

        It is my intention to lean harder into this with any response that you care to make.

    (Not directing this at you, OP, just setting the tone for any replies)

    Remember Rule 1: No politics. The post itself is fine since it’s about the meme. Please don’t turn the comments into political shouting, but otherwise carry on.

    No, it hasn’t, and it’s helping X completely smoke X while energizing their fan base on a nuclear level, which is all that matters. Our X is at stake, and for once, it’s actually a very real concern. No politics, so use your imagination on what the Xs are.

    I agree completely.

    If it weren’t an election year the SNAFU that started it would have had the internet (and me) giggling about it for maybe a week. Just like everything else in an election year, we’re going to keep hearing about it whether we like it or not.

    Without getting into the politics of it, the idea of going “that guy looks like a couch fucker” is a perfectly cromulent insult, and if someone wants to avoid that epithet they should look less like they want to fuck couches all the time.
