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.

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

Sheriff 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.

[-] neanderthal@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

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.
