    It looks kind of pathetic. These dudes have real policy positions and behavior to attack and instead of anything substantive we get couches and weird.

    If you’re trying to reach voters already with you, then it’ll be effective for that maybe, but it only tells other voters you think they’re imbeciles. Which is prolly accurate.

      The talk about them being weird wasn’t devorced from policy. It was first brought up when talking about how republican leaders are weird for wanting book bans and abortion related policies

      The media latched on to the word “weird” because it was unusual, but if you look at when Walz using it, it’s still largely being used in discussions of their horrible plans and actions

        They latched onto it because they were told to by the DNC lol

        There’s no way you believe that’s organic.

      They’re trying to reach republican voters, of course they’re going to assume their target audience is a bunch of imbeciles who don’t care about policy. Because we have decades of evidence that they are a bunch of imbeciles who don’t care about policy.

      You gotta meet your audience where they are, and we already know where the republican electorate is.
