Been saying it since that terrible debate showing from Biden, though at the time I thought Biden might be able to make a turnaround so I was talking about him:
The only way they're going to make up ground is by putting politeness behind them. They need to be firm, acknowledge the wrongs, call out the bs, and just generally play hardball. That's the current need and I'm glad both Harris and Walz appear to understand this.
So he's wearing khakis, previously a flannel, sometimes also a sport coat.
Hopefully these are the brave fashion decisions needed to defeat fascism in America.
after Walz went viral pre-running mate selection with his labeling of the GOP ticket as “weird” in a cable news interview.
Insane that this election (and the future of the republic) might end up being saved by one word said by one dude who wasn't even in the running at the time. And the word is simply, "weird."
After all of the insane shit we have seen and heard the GOP do and say, a generic white dude that looks like your dad calling them "weird" was what flipped the momentum in the Democrats' favor.
I just can't with this timeline
It makes sense. They want to be seen as evil. Evil is scary, it’s threatening, it’s a matter of perspective in some cases. Evil gets his base what they want even if it hurts others. Even stupid is something where they can tell themselves it’s a game of 4-d chess and the opponents just don’t see the coming victory.
But weird? It hits hard. It’s the one thing they don’t want to be because weird implies that they aren’t the majority or masterminds, but rather that they’re dismissible and not acting correctly. Weird is what they hate and so it hurts them to hear the truth that it’s what they are. Because normal people don’t fucking act like that. Normal people laugh at people acting like that, or show concern, or anything but joining in
"Signature flannel"
HEY! That's just reasonable clothing round these parts
Wherein "these parts" is anywhere that gets cold.
Or not. I'm in Texas wearing one and it's in the 60s right now.
You mean Texas is like in the 1960 right now?
Is that farmer flannel or grunge flannel?
Grunge Farming Flannel
Smells like Farm Spirit
