More Americans approve of Walz as VP pick compared to Vance: POLL - Lemmy.World

Democratic vice-presidential candidate [https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/live-updates/election-2024-kamala-harris-donald-trump-walz-vance/?id=112767640] Tim Walz is getting a more positive public reception than his Republican counterpart: More Americans see Walz favorably than unfavorably, contrary to JD Vance, and more approve of Walz’s selection for the nation’s No. 2 job, according to new ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll. Thirty-nine percent in the poll have a favorable impression of Walz as a person, while 30% see him unfavorably. That compares with an underwater favorable-unfavorable rating for Vance, 32%-42%.

Cause Vance is freakin’ weird!
Conservatism is fucking weird. They spend their lives obsessed with gender, race, and children like a communicable disease of narcissistic pedo psychopathy.

As a millennial bridging the zoomers and boomers I think what Walz really meant to say is Conservatism is cringe. If Republicans were savvy they could flip the weird narrative and embrace it because weird can be good but fortunately they are not.

Trump & Friends are cringe, gross, absurd to me.

glares in Gen X
Classic Gen X’er… Boomer-lite hahaha.
Y’all forgot we even existed, and now you deign to throw shade?
Hahaha. I mean technically millennials are still the largest segment of the bridge connecting zoomers to boomers, but yeah… My bad…

Gen x doesnt exist, they’re either boomers or millennials.

Depends on how cool they are.

But they can’t flip that narrative, it’s anathema to them. Between the “silent majority” bullshit and their fake idealized past (women and minorities knew their place, queer folks would get the queer beaten out of them) they cling to the idea that their view is correct and how things should be.

their fake idolized past

Don’t forget guns. These people went so full moron, that they straight up forgot that the original gun laws in the Americas was purpossive open carry only, no habitual open carry. If you weren’t a banker, a cattleman, a sheriff, or the like, or if nobody had threatened your life, and your jacket blew open in the breeze and allowed the public to see that you were carrying a gun, you would have been arrested for breach of peace. There are dozens of early legal cases in this country that prove these facts, and you can also reference the constitutions of the original colonies, none of which enshrined a individual right to carry firearms.

The second amendment itself even tells you right in the sentence what its purpose is, and It’s the security of the state, not the individual. An individual right to bear arms does not redeem a state security right. A militia does, though. that’s my Ted talk.

Conservatives value conformity, which is why ‘weird’ works so well to insult them.

It’s only insulting because they believe it is; call most leftists weird and they’ll probably say something like “Yeah I’m weird, fuck normal.”

You know that’s a great point! Conformity essential to being with the in-group of conservatives. That shifts my view substantially on this.
