      Imagine if your job was just being barred out in Sephora, writing down slang for use in future campaign slogans

        future campaign

        Future campaign, because it is a precondition that the slang must have lost its cultural moment (read completely stripped of meaning by florida-cracker) in order to be used by the campaign

        Fuck that’s the reason isn’t it. The directive probably came down from Kamala herself to stop stating the obvious about conservatives because she planned to pivot harder to the right than anyone has ever pivoted before.

    I never got whatever the hell this brat thing is. Maybe this is like some astroturfing fellow-kids voting for the genocidal establishment is the new punk.

    Idk. Is this what the “influencers” told them? I really don’t know and it comes off as very cringe. Queers for kamala? What the…wtf more like queers 4 genocide. disgost

    The Biden team told Kamala’s team that the ‘weird thing’ is too negative and they had to drop it. So they did. Now only positive things are allowed, like the ‘brat thing’ and not talking about price gouging. The Kamala team better listen to Biden’s because, you know, Biden is still president and megalomaniacal people who go into politics are in fact petty as fuck and have real power.

      Biden is the only person who beat Trump, so clearly they should listen to his dementia-addled ramblings about how to win.

    Really cool and good that one half of the US are fully ok with giving up the ghost on what the west is deep down: nihilistic 4chan edgelords that would gladly watch the world burn for a cheap laugh. The other side are deeply uneserious, incompetent dolts that get off on their own growing irrelevance and proudly self-infantilize.

    And the 4chan nihilists are winning.
