I'm old enough to remember the damage caused to Bush Sr.'s reelection campaign in 1992 when Dan Quayle criticized the portrayal of a fictional single mother on the TV show "Murphy Brown." JD Vance takes this line of attack on single and/or childless women to a whole new depth because he's going after real people, not TV characters. This will not end well for him.

Couchfucker Vance is the bigliest ~~mistake~~ win, ever.

Yeah, I too remember that one. Why was Vance even chosen? For all his issues at least Pence could make an occasional good sound byte.

Booed at Hamilton: “That’s the sound of Democracy.” Indeed it is. And he did the ethical thing when it counted most.

Pence was there to bring the evangelical vote. What’s this guy got?

You gotta be quiet and polite, so the right can still support you when you kill the gays

[-] zephorah@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Are you in need of a good therapist or is that a Vance quote?

[-] Ioughttamow@kbin.run 1 points 2 months ago

Hey man, it’s just Pence’s AIDS policy, don’t look at me

[-] zephorah@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Oh sure, he’s terrible. I named the only 2 things he did right.

[-] Ioughttamow@kbin.run 2 points 2 months ago

Oh yeah, I’m just trying to dig at them both, as Pence has nothing but a veneer of civility, and Vance doesn’t even have that

Though I suppose when it comes time to choose a couch…

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

When you couch it in those terms...I agree :)

I think Vance was supposed to appeal to the youth, since he's literally half Trump's age.

[-] zephorah@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

He looks like a 30 something incel who stumbled from the basement into a suit. It is a demographic, so, there’s that I guess. Only now, instead of his mom taking him to the doctor and answering all the doctor’s questions for him, now his wife does it.

Considering that Bush Sr wanted America to be less like The Simpsons and more like The Waltons, that tracks.

[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

He knows nothing of either. The Waltons were actually, like, decent and caring people best they could be. People who say they wanna go back to the Waltons mean a time where they ruled over the poor everybodies and any hospitality or dogoodery was only ever highly discretionary on their part

You know you crossed the line when you attack someone and the exes pipe up to say you're wrong.

[-] norimee@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

Considering that it is more and more normal for millennials and genZ to be childless by choice, this is a huge voter demographic he just shit on.

Also those with fertility issues and step-families. It's an... interesting play for the younger ticket.
