Where has Tim Walz been all my political life. Fuck's sake, it's a low bar, but having a Dem on the national stage who isn't afraid to get a little rough with these dipshits is immensely satisfying after some two decades of "W-we c-can't say anything m-mean about the fascists..."

[-] Cypher@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago

I have been calling for the left wing to do this in Australia for years.

We will not beat these weirdo dipshits by pretending they aren’t weirdo dipshits.

Calling them out with direct language at every opportunity is the path to victory.

Dutton literally went in ads recently to help them sell Dodge Rams.. which is a car nobody wants here

And the libs aren't even the worst. It's scary by how many idiots are reposting nonsense from the far right parties

The real problem seems to be that Facebook isn't moderated anymore, and we clearly need laws in place to force them to do so.

Yes, always make fun of Elon Musk! Don't forget we're doing that because Elon is a fascist. It's okay to skip around prance like a dipshit otherwise. Just don't be a fascist.

Man I hope Walz and Kamala win in a few weeks, because I really want to be able to listen to this guy call out bullshit for 8 years.

[-] Mobiuthuselah@lemm.ee 63 points 3 days ago

My wife says he sounds like Red Foreman.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 35 points 3 days ago

Related - anyone see that episode when Red Foreman yells at Ford for pardoning Nixon? LOLOLOL.

We could all use a lot more Red Foremans in the GOP...

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

Hahahaha. Oh my god, that's so funny. I cannot unsee(unhear) this now....I need to find a supercut of him calling people a dumbass.

[-] irreticent@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Ask and you shall receive.

*Note: I'm in a really loud bar and can't listen to the video but I assume it's what you were looking for.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

LOL, yes it is.

Well if you look like a dipshit and act like a dipshit you’re most likely a dipshit.

[-] DontMakeMoreBabies@lemm.ee 169 points 3 days ago

Finally, Democrats have someone who can talk to the "everyman" in their own language.

[-] cultsuperstar@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

Trump supporters love him so much because "he tells it like it is". I doubt they're going to love Walz because of that same line of thinking. Oh that's right, because he doesn't have the R in front of his name. He's also not a racist, which is probably why they really love Trump.

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago

He's also not a ~~racist~~ rapist

Funny how both words work in that context

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Walz tells it like it is, but unlike with Trump the way it is isn't hating everyone who isn't like them, so it's not okay.

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 148 points 3 days ago

Tim Walz said it so much better than this snippet suggests. Please listen to the short clip, that man is fire 👍

[-] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 71 points 3 days ago

Just looked it up. Yeah Tim Walz speaks really effectively.

[-] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Thanks for that. It’s really good.

Spoken like a true Midwesterner who gave away his last fuck to give 40 years ago.

[-] Today@lemmy.world 116 points 3 days ago

I believe that dipshit is the best insult. If you call someone a bitch or asshole, it's like a badge of honor, but dipshit r is kind of emasculating and really captures the whiny middle schooler inside while also sounding like just a silly word.

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 47 points 3 days ago

He was a teacher for years, he's seen first hand which insults play best in middle school, and obviously that's what American politics has devolved to nowadays.

Nailed it. Elon is a dipshit.

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 80 points 3 days ago

I really hope "dipshit" is the new "weird" of this last stretch of the election.

[-] Lookorex@lemm.ee 49 points 3 days ago

Makes sense. They're all weird-ass dipshits

[-] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 3 days ago

Creepy dipshits it’s my preference, though the world creepy loses something during Halloween. Maybe dipshit creeps is better now.
