    If we can get Kamala drinking a beer and shooting bottles off a fence with her Glock, she may just win over some right wing voters

          I know, it was a joke leaning into what those people would like. I don’t know how Keanu Reeves votes, but that would probably work even better. But how cool would it be to hear “and Austin 3:16 says Kamala just whooped your ass”

        I’m convinced comments like yours are pro Trump bullshit trying to muddy the waters. What are you trying to do? Say Kamala bad cause Israel. Ignoring the fact that Trump would nuke Gaza rather than save it. That or you’re trying to dissuade Kamala voters, so they stay home, or so they vote third party all which benefits only Trump and accelerates the destruction of Palestine

        If none of the federal candidates supports your side. Then it’s not an election issue. They cancel each other out, It’s a moot point in the election and should be dealt with through Congress and Senate. Though to say the Democrats and GOP are equal on this issue is bullshit, since the only politicians speaking out are Democrats

    Did she actually drink it lol?

    Unrelated, but one of the things that made me really respect Judy Greer was watching a Zoom call table read with the cast of Archer during COVID. Everyone was home and drinking elaborate cocktails except Judy - she was drinking Miller Lite out of a can. Respect.

      I guess she’s a little older, but we have better options these days. Our microbrewery boom was like over a decade ago now, people don’t need to drink the watered down piss anymore.

        It’s easy to hate on simple beers, but honestly, they’re fine. Sometimes you want a complex experience that draws your focus; sometimes you just want “a beer” because it’s not something you want to pay attention to.

        I lived in the heartland of craft brew for a very long time. I brewed, my partner brews. We went to festivals for brewing. These days, eh, a simple light lager is fine.

          My buddy has a good definition of it. He says there are “experience” beers, and “session” beers. Experience beers are more flavorful, filling, complex. Session beers are beers that are easy to drink without thinking too much about it. Like, an experience beer is for an outside deck dinner at sunset. A session beer is for a bonfire or something where you’re looking to get drunk.

          Exactly. And frankly, from a brewing and chemical engineering perspective, the consistency and subtle flavors of a light beer are more impressive than something like an IPA where you can just blow out the drinker’s palate with hops and win an award for it.

          Don’t get me wrong, I still love big beers. It’s just that I’m almost 40 with three hyperactive, mischievous, and hellaciously smart kids under 10 (and a partner to match); there are many times where light and predictable is really nice.

          Agreed, nothing wrong with a lager. Among simple light lagers, though, the major breweries offerings are particularly … simple.

          Beer that comes from a small company whose owner loves its products might be better than beer from a massive multinational umbrella beer corporation. Who would have thought…?

          3.2? The fact that you know what that is means you live in one of only a handful of states.

            I’ve lived all over the country, and also have access to the internet. I know many things about many places I’ve never even been.

            The point was to suggest they want the lightest beer around that isn’t an NA, not a commentary on a particular state

              It wasn’t an insult by any means. But in the midwest, most people don’t even know what that is. Again, not a knock on them, just my observation.

          You also have to take into account the costs. Poorer people are likely to settle for the cheaper stuff, especially if they do it regularly.

        I always was taught that too. Maybe it was an old rule or maybe it’s after a certain time. Maybe it was never true and just something my parents taught me.

        Also, maybe Kamala and Colbert didn’t actually have alcohol in the can
