[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I doubt this whole calling your opponent "weird" strategy will be effective.  Please dems come up with a different campaign attack if you want to win, this one will fall flat.[/quote]

Oooooh, thank you SO much for reaching across the aisle and helping. I'm sure the success of the Democrat party is at the top of your wishlist. [/quote]

I’m a dem voting Harris and I commented a few pages back that this strategy does not sit well with me.  I don’t think it will sway swing voters and is bully like behavior.  [/quote]
Speaking to people and supplying the word they’ve been searching for isn’t “bully like” behavior. Something is off with Trump and Vance, with a lot of the Republicans, for that matter (look into Roger Stone’s life…). [/quote]

If I said “something is off with the pope and a lot of Catholics for that matter (look into some of those pedophile priests)”

Or how about “something is off with Mohammed, with a lot of the Muslims for that matter (look into the 9/11 terrorists)”

Or “something is off with Netanyahu, and a lot of Israelis for that matter (look into Gaza aid issues)”

Or “something is off with Hamas, and a lot of Palaestinians for that matter (look into Oct 6, 2023)”

…you might see the issue a little differently depending on your perspective.

But the fact is, a lot depends on your perspective of a situation. When it’s about Trump and people who are intending to vote for him and you don’t like Trump—then you don’t see an issue with othering anyone who votes for him. It’s dismissive and dehumanizing for a purpose. And that purpose is to feel righteous.[/quote]

The GOP has let their leadership go off the rails. I have a lot of respect for some of them from the past. They are probably spinning in their graves right now with the way Trump and Vance talk and act. It's time to call this unAmerican behavior out. That is the weird everyone is talking about. Sub in bizzare if it makes you feel better. But maybe you should go back to your corner and put your lady gloves back on if "weird" bothers you so much. It's time to take out the wasp nest and you don't show up with Glade air freshener.

I don’t think you’re getting it.
The “weird” thing (or call it “bizarre” if you want) maybe would have worked to sink a campaign somewhere back in the early 2000s, but since then, everything (and I do mean everything) once considered “weird” or “bizarre” has been embraced as compleeetely fine and even celebrated and pushed on society as such—-by the left.

Weird is now normal.

By design. Of the left.

And that’s fine bc it’s 2024 now, and the mainstream socially-acceptable view of the majority (which is very different from the 1980s/90s/early-2000s “make fun of everyone in a hilarious takedown” culture) is that it is not funny or acceptable to poke fun at people for being weird or bizarre or different. We (as a society) have determined (mostly as dictated by the left) that we don’t use weird or bizarre as an insult.

Oh—except apparently when it’s convenient for liberals to world this as a tool to bludgeon conservatives. Then it’s fine.

But don’t you dare call it weird to have a [b]dude who dresses like a woman as assistant secretary for health[/b]. And heaven forbid you say it’s weird for President Biden not to acknowledge one of his grandkids for 7 years because she’s the illegitimate child that his kid had with a stripper. Nope. Those are totally “normal” things. Not bizarre at all.

Here let me help you out. While the bolded is not a behavior the majority of people would do, the weird part is people who harp over that rather than actually talking about policies. MAGA spent years complaining about woke culture and lost the thread that they're fighting these culture wars against themselves [/quote]

Thanks for the help. You’re a helpful individual.
Now please help your party understand that if behavior that is “not a behavior of the majority” is not the definition of weird (or outside of the norm)—then nothing can really be defined as “weird.”
