MSNBC host to JD Vance: ‘You just effed up’ calling Harris ‘trash’
Vance’s closing argument has been roundly criticized for further alienating female voters.
Summary
Republican vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance faced intense backlash after calling Vice President Kamala Harris “trash” during a rally in Atlanta, a comment that MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace described as a major misstep.
Wallace and other commentators noted that such rhetoric, following Vance’s past controversial remarks about “childless cat ladies,” could alienate female voters—a demographic the Republican ticket already struggles with.
The “trash” comment is part of a broader trend among Trump’s supporters, who have recently used “garbage” imagery in their rhetoric.
You're viewing a single thread.
Not really. Only the Democrats, who always have to be absolutely fucking perfect at all times, to get in trouble for such a benign comment. The Trump team have been literally goose-stepping around the country for the last year, and they have felt absolutely zero consequences for it.
None of the shit-for-brains neo-Nazis voting for Trump are going to suddenly say, “hold on, wait, this crosses the line!”
This is about undecideds. Nobody in their right mind is trying to court neo-Nazis to vote for Kamala.
If someone is undecided at this point, they're either disingenuous and embarrassed about their support for Trump, or they're a moron.
you're right, but there sure seems to be a lot of morons in the electorate, so...
Nobody ever failed because they overestimated the number of morons in America.
I think George Carlin said it, and I’m paraphrasing poorly:
Think about how dumb the average person you know is, then remember half of people as dumber
They certainly as
Putin seems to be leading the race to disprove that hypothesis...
You have to remember these are just simple farmers.
These are people of the land.
The common clay of the new west.
You know....
MoronsSheriff murdered, crops burned, stores looted, people stampeded...and cattle raped.
Now the time has come to act...and act fast.
I'm leaving.
A moron's vote for Harris counts the same a genious' vote for Harris.
I had a random conversation today with someone that knew absolutely nothing about politics and wasn't sure about voting. I would guarantee you that if Harris herself talked to this person they would go vote for her.
Here we have some serious selection bias. Not necessarily right vs left, but interested enough to be commenting about it on the fediverse.
There are a lot of morons out there. And some actually might be swayed one way or the other.
Exactly, just look at the results. Trump has done so many despicable things, and has said so many horrible things, yet it doesn’t matter for them.
But on the Dem side, if a candidate is not X or Y enough, then part of the voter base stays at home whining, to punish their party - though at the end they only end up punishing themselves.
