Vance is phonier than Trump or Cruz or Cotton or Alito, if that is possible. It’s all a con. They jump in front of the 200+ year old nativist and bigoted and ignorant right-wing movement and appoint themselves its leaders while turning it into a vehicle for yet more tax breaks and deregulation for the capitalist establishment.

This guy seems like an actual intellectual, not a lightweight peddling cliches and poll tested talking points, which is refreshing.

Talk is cheap. He would force his own wife or daughter to bear her rapist's baby. So intellectual! Such nuance! So insightful and well formed!

Also Ross refused to say he wouldn't vote for Trump, when he was interviewed on The Bulwark podcast. He is rabidly anti-choice. Of course he liked JD Vance. They are two peas in a pod.

The white liberal women activists in here still don’t get that vibes and optics far more that policy, and Vance and his cute Indian wife and their cute biracial kids are gonna be a huge boon for the campaign in the multiracial suburbs of DC, NY, Philly, etc. Think about how many votes having an actual Hindu woman on the ticket gets in places like Jackson Heights or how having just a brown woman who’s a daughter of immigrants plays with POC women who aren’t Black.

You can’t privilege identity politics on one hand and then act like her identity isn’t going to matter to some voters in November. In those swing states with multiracial suburban populations this will get you some numbers if played right.

That makes absolutely no sense when Kamala, half-Indian, half-Black, is on the Dem ticket.

There isn’t a Hindu woman on the ticket you dolt. Someone on the ticket is married to a hindu woman. Let me guess you think your husband’s accomplishments are yours because you clearly are not smart enough to have your own if you think one guy having cute kids will get the ticket to win in areas it otherwise wouldn’t.

You severely overestimate the intellect of people, and American voters specifically, if you think this is the case. We live in a democracy and most people are stupid. Full stop.

Trump got elected. Do you need any more proof than that?

Yes, and then people saw exactly what kind of dangerous moron he was and voted him out.

Now explain the Reagan landslide in 1984 and special needs case George Bush winning two terms.

People are dumb and care about “who to get a beer with” and “do I relate to / look like this person” more than policy, especially in the social media age.

When will you guys learn these posts aren’t believable? Republicans online love to pose as Dems voting for Trump but then lay it on way too thick. “I have exclusively voted for democrats since the 60s; I was an anti-war protestor who marched on Selma and in my spare time I volunteer at abortion clinics and my local mosque. That being said I will be voting for trump because I think trans girls shouldn’t play sports.” How stupid do you think we are?
