Print photos of different couches and mail them to any or all of these locations:

Don’t forget to add little love notes. e.g., “Thinking of you 💋”

While I appreciate the effort, mods are probably gonna get mad if you keep commenting this on every post. Some of the ones you commented on don’t seem like they’re totally about Vance

Edit: actually, the posts are all about Vance. Still, not a great look to post the same comment too many times.

It’s a funny idea, but I doubt anyone will do it. Printer ink ain’t cheap.

Geez, this is the 25th time they’ve posted this.

I thought it was a funny idea the first time I saw it, but this is absolutely not a friendly way to use Lemmy.

I’m personally grateful to see this comment repeated and reposted a lot and hope the mods understand that spreading things like this is one of the most important reason to have an interwebs.

Keep up the great work @dohpaz42@lemmy.world !

This.
Except peeps at lemmy get upset and say, “I thought we agreed you couldn’t post just, “This.”!!!”
So, there’s that.

Spreading unsubstantiated rumours?

Vance is a complete and utter piece of shit. There are lots of things to attack him for, actual things he believes or has done. Making things up to discredit him isn’t needed, and it’s definitely not an important reason to have the internet.

If that’s the case, I apologize. I’ll have to go back and check the ones I’ve posted on. Thanks for the heads up.

When you’re rich the couches let you whatever you want. Grab em by the cushion.

Many people are saying he did, but then some others have come forward to say he didn’t, but those of us are just asking questions and want to know: “I don’t know, were you actually there? How can you tell me he didn’t fuck a couch”?

All I know is that a lot of important people and news organizations are asking questions about this man banging his couch.

This is one of the oldest and most effective tricks in politics. Every hack in the business has used it in times of trouble, and it has even been elevated to the level of political mythology in a story about one of Lyndon Johnson’s early campaigns in Texas.

The race was close and Johnson was getting worried. Finally he told his campaign manager to start a massive rumour campaign about his opponent’s life-long habit of enjoying carnal knowledge of his barnyard sows.

“Christ, we can’t get away with calling him a pig-f****r,” the campaign manager protested. “Nobody’s going to believe a thing like that.”

“I know,” Johnson replied. “But let’s make the sonofab****h deny it.”

Hunter S. Thompson, 1972. Politics never changes.

My guess is that Pedo Donnie will use Vance as a scapegoat when his campaign fails miserably.

He’ll probably blame rigged elections for his loss. In his mind, he wants to avoid the idea he ever made a bad choice.

The man has never recognized an election loss, even in primaries where the result didn’t really matter. What makes you think he’ll recognize the next one?

The New York Times is so bad on politics. Obviously Vance said some terrible things and has some terrible views, but that doesn’t matter to his hardcore followers, and it doesn’t even matter much to people who are thinking of staying home. Nobody is going to listen to Democrats trash the man and all of a sudden decide that he’s worthless, because of course the Democrats would portray him that way. It happens to be true, but one would naturally be skeptical of such a portrayal.

But hey, the Times really wants to ride that centrist bandwagon, that mythical position where they aren’t pushing for anything except we all know they are, and all they want is more attention. I’m just happy that they put themselves behind a pay wall. Now there’s no chance I’m going to read their articles.

It seems like it is useful to try to speak to the median voter and (supposed) undecideds who would be affected by this. There are lots of other publications with different perspectives. Is it bad necessarily that this one exists and operates this way?

He’s not polling very well. The more the low-info voter types learn about this guy, the less they like him, too. He just comes off like a very creepy weirdo.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
