Democratic vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz is getting a more positive public reception than his Republican counterpart: More Americans see Walz favorably than unfavorably, contrary to JD Vance, and more approve of Walz’s selection for the nation’s No. 2 job, according to new ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll.
Thirty-nine percent in the poll have a favorable impression of Walz as a person, while 30% see him unfavorably. That compares with an underwater favorable-unfavorable rating for Vance, 32%-42%.
Bruh. She could have chosen a carrot and it’d get better ratings than Vance.
The only wrong choice was Joe Biden
I totally expected her to pick Josh Shapiro, Tim was a pleasant surprise
I don’t know who that is, hut I can say that a “Shapiro” has bad… optics?
You underestimate how removed-angry Republicans are.
All someone has to do is call that carrot woke and it’ll get legitimate death threats by days end.
The irony of using a slur to make fun of Republicans 🤦
I want to use that word on Republicans so bad. There is no slur more fitting for them, and it sucks that the word is so disparaging to decent people with various disabilities.
Obviously that wasn’t always the case. During grad school I found an old book in the library stacks from the '50s or '60s and the title was something horrific, like “A Modern Approach to Managing removeds in the Workplace.” And it was like a serious textbook written for social workers or teachers and paraprofessionals and the like.
Naturally, I removed it from the stacks, and placed it on the desk of the EIC of the law journal (my desk), sort of as a joke, like as a message to all the staff and junior editors. This was sometime before the R word was widely considered such an offensive slur.
Not if that carrot was Rob Schneider.
That’s because most americans enjoy their couches, and do not want them soiled.
Most Americans are not, in fact, down with heterosectionals, and are not comfortable with one being the VP nominee.
JD Vance puts his cast iron in the dishwasher pass it on
I hated him before, but now I also hate him just for that.
I saw mf weedwhacking in shorts and sandles, and not like a quick touch up, dude was straight chopping away in a meadow with the wrong attire like a fucking moron.
He’s the wet-handed cat petting of people.
Cause Vance is freakin’ weird!
Conservatism is fucking weird. They spend their lives obsessed with gender, race, religion, guns, and children — like a communicable disease of authoritarian narcissistic pedophilia — while calling the people who want to conserve the Earth “radical”.
It’s a mental illness.
As a millennial bridging the zoomers and boomers I think what Walz really meant to say is Conservatism is cringe. If Republicans were savvy they could flip the weird narrative and embrace it because weird can be good but fortunately they are not. Can’t flip cringe.
Trump & Friends are cringe, gross, and absurd to me.
Conservatives value conformity, which is why ‘weird’ works so well to insult them.
It’s only insulting because they believe it is; call most leftists weird and they’ll probably say something like “Yeah I’m weird, fuck normal.”
You know that’s a great point! Conformity essential to being with the in-group of conservatives. That shifts my view substantially on this.
glares in Gen X
Classic Gen X’er… Boomer-lite hahaha. Ok sorry that was too far.
Y’all forgot we even existed, and now you deign to throw shade?
Gen x doesnt exist, they’re either boomers or millennials.
Depends on how cool they are.
(/j)
continued glare
Hahaha. I mean technically millennials are still the largest segment of the bridge connecting zoomers to boomers, but yeah… My bad…
But they can’t flip that narrative, it’s anathema to them. Between the “silent majority” bullshit and their fake idealized past (women and minorities knew their place, queer folks would get the queer beaten out of them) they cling to the idea that their view is correct and how things should be.
their fake idolized past
Don’t forget guns. These people went so full moron, that they straight up forgot that the original gun laws in the Americas was purpossive open carry only, no habitual open carry. If you weren’t a banker, a cattleman, a sheriff, or the like, or if nobody had threatened your life, and your jacket blew open in the breeze and allowed the public to see that you were carrying a gun, you would have been arrested for breach of peace. Because it’s fucking weird to show up at the bar or at a grocery store or whatever with a gun for no reason.
There are dozens of early legal cases in this country that prove these facts, and you can also reference the constitutions of the original colonies, none of which enshrined a individual right to carry firearms. You can also reference the Philadelphia constitutional convention where a version of the second Amendment containing an Express individual right was unanimously rejected by the delegates in favor of our current version.
The second amendment itself even tells you right in the sentence what its purpose is, and It’s “the security of the state,” not the individual. An individual right to bear arms does not redeem a state security interest, a ready militia does, though. that’s my Ted talk.
And they’re always misquoting the Constitution and the Bible.
If you asked both to help you move… Walz would show up with beer and a hand truck and Vance would send you a pic of himself… poolside
I’d never ask JD to help me move because I need someone I can trust to carry couches.
Somehow, it still seems true even though he doesn’t drink beer. It’s just for you; what a guy.
if i can’t trust you with a VP pick, how can I trust you with a global superpower?
Can’t even trust these motherfuckers to be left unattended with my couch smh

This is unkind to weasels. They’re adorable, mischievous, and perfect. Vance is a gremlin. A bridge troll.
The perjoritive not the slender fuzzi boi.
I mean vance is a low bar for comparison
