            Madam Vice President the American people have a clear understanding of your position on the issues at stake, namely that you aren’t a raving freak show like your opponents, but one major question remains: will you or will you not send kitty pics? We deserve to see your cat. Should you win we wish to see your cat walk past your addresses without any regard whatsoever about you trying to announce changes to our lives.

      To help others.

      On Quayle:

      Press coverage of the convention was dominated by questions about “the three Quayle problems”.[23] The questions involved his military service, a golf holiday in Florida where he and several other politicians shared a house with lobbyist Paula Parkinson,[24][12] and whether he had enough experience to be vice president. Quayle seemed at times rattled and at other times uncertain or evasive as he responded to questions. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Quayle

      And then:

      John McCain probably lost whatever chance he had to become president on August 28, the day he invited Sarah Palin to be his running mate. https://origins.osu.edu/history-news/why-sarah-palin-gamble-didn-t-pay

      Thus, the burn.

      Edit: JD Vance probably had to look this up, too.

        I’m a actually just tired of the spam, and a little disappointed that so many people respect this way of using Lemmy. If everyone treated Lemmy like this user does, the place would fail catastrophically.

        This guy started by just spamming the same comment verbatim dozens of times to different threads. That’s just being a spammer. The reason you thought it was a bot is because the content was low quality and low effort.

        And mailing pictures of dolphins and couches to J.D. Vance is funny as a joke, but I can’t see it accomplishing anything else but generating a bit of paper waste. It certainly won’t win Harris any votes, or lose Trump any votes. It’s just petty trolling.

        In less than 4 months America decides whether or not we’re diving head-first into Fascism. Surely there are better forms of activism than whatever petulant nonsense this is.

          JD is much worse.

          When Palin first joined the McCain ticket, she boosted his poll numbers and none of the criticism she got seemed to stick. It was only when SNL started parodying her that public opinion shifted. On paper she was exactly what McCain needed, both to shore up his base and to add some much need youth and energy, and having that whole family image that polled well with women.

          Obviously we have a lot more information to go on now, but at the time Palin made sense.

          Vance was a terrible pick from the beginning. He’s a nut job that even Republicans aren’t happy with. He appeals to nobody that wouldn’t have already been a Trump supporter. He adds nothing of value, just more shit that people can easily mock and/or be terrified of.

        No one was going to help McCain, he was a long shot candidate after 8 years of a Republican president that left the country exhausted and fed up, Obama was an answer, McCain was an offer to get more of the same with a little tweak here and there.

        Not mine either but I met him once in a hotel lobby. He was very nice to the group of high schoolers and came off as a decent person but that may have just been him being good at his job.

        I always felt watching that election that he was pushed to the right and out of his comfort zone by the state of his base and even though I didn’t want him to be president I felt a little sorry for him. He would have made a better president than a lot of other Republicans.
