J.D. Vance’s weird, anti-woke punchline fell flat at his own sleepy speaking event on Monday.
Vance held a rally at his former high school in Middletown, Ohio, where hundreds gathered to hear the missives of Donald Trump’s newly-minted vice presidential candidate. But, even as a hometown hero, the Ohio senator suffered some brutally awkward moments.
“It is the weirdest thing to me: Democrats say that it is racist to believe—well, they say it’s racist to do anything,” said Vance. “I had a diet Mountain Dew yesterday, and one today. I’m sure they’re probably gonna call that racist, too.” Around the room there were some scattered laughs.
Ew he drank DIET? Is he some weird LEFTY MARXIST COMMUINIST? Real Americans have FULL SUGAR
Freedom is consuming the sugary chemical water of the megacorporations.
Actual leftists prefer Code Red.
Diet Mountain Dew tastes like absolute trash. It’s like they just replaced the pound of sugar in each bottle with an equal amount of bitter aspartame with no other recipe adjustments.
Baja Blast and Code Red are the exceptions to that, otherwise hard agree.
I wasn’t aware they made diet flavors of those.
and if its only 1 soda a day, just drink the regular one ya fucking loon. Vance is younger than me, I don’t drink soda very often, and when I do enjoy a regular Mt Dew. Stuff is fuckin good!
One bottle has 77g of sugar, even one a day is an incredible amount of sugar for the average diet, thats in conjunction with I assume other sugary foods too.
Most drinks in general just have way way too much sugar.
Counter point Mt Dew gewd. Ill stop drinking when my organs hurt… again.
Americans 👏 consume 👏 high 👏 fructose 👏 corn 👏 syrup
nuh uh According to my extremely conservative coworker, that stuff causes cancer and big soda is trying to kill us. Something like that
But then turns around to order snake oil and miracle pills from Infowars, then takes his daily hydroxychloroquine tab and rolling coal on some Tesla owner
And if you say maybe sugar should be taxed or banned, you’re a commie pedo
My taxes subsidized all that corn, I gotta get my money’s worth!!
that’s hexabear for you
Vance IS a “weird, anti-woke punchline” to a joke setup that the vast majority of people are sick and tired of.
It’s a GOP plot to reduce sugar intake among its most overweight and pre-diabetic supporters.
So far he’s got the charisma of a soap dish.
That’s more than Mike Pence ever managed.
Hell, I was convinced Pence was a supervillain sitting in a swivel chair stroking a long haired cat for like the first year of Trump’s presidency. I didn’t like Trump, but I just thought he was a blowhard who would do absolutely nothing rather than trying to actively harm people.
Pence turned out to be little more than a neutered grapefruit with almost as much personality.
After Cheney that’s an understandable assumption about the VP.
He truly is Trump’s successor, rambling about incoherent nonsense is a staple of a Trump rally. My favorite has to be his many rants about toilets not flushing.
Vance is just a can of diet mountain dew himself.
Fuck you, don’t disrespect the dew.
Dew paid for it. They well and deserve that blatant disrespect.

Nasty as that stuff is it explains a lot
Vance is Palin … but without the fashion sense
He looks like a guy who left his parents’ basement and, blinded by the sunlight, accidentally stumbled into a tailor’s shop.
What a fucking weirdo.
Please drink a verification can to continue campaigning
Can-paigning
Oh god, are they actually selling product placements in their speeches now?
As he started defending diet mt dew, I knew he was unelectable. Massive miscalculation Vance.
I’ve joked for years drinking diet mnt dew on purpose is a cry for help. This only confirms my position.
Diet Mountain Dew tastes like shit. Either drink classic, Code Red, or Baja Blast. Fucking tasteless profligate. I already hated him but now I wanf to feed him battery acid.
Fwiw zero tastes a lot better than diet. Not a substitute for the OG but passable if you need to save calories
If you need to save calories go with water
It’s a market that shouldn’t exist
That’s obviously the best answer, so much so that I got a soda stream off FB for cheap and I make soda water with it.
My brain is addicted to the carbonated part. Not the syrup. I drink so much more water now that I can carbonate it.
But yeah, for people who are addicted to sugar soda, my point still stands.
As someone that has never had soda my entire life (my parents were normal soda-drinking people, I’m just weird and was never interested in trying it), maybe I don’t know what I’m missing out on, but water is soooo gooood. It’s so refreshing and delicious if you’re thirsty. I don’t comprehend why these drinks even exist.
If you live almost anywhere in America or another developed nation, you get dirt-cheap clean water delivered right to your home constantly, and it’s so great. Why does anyone spend money on garbage that’s going to give them diabetes? And then the people who are sensible enough to try to avoid the diabetes just drink some other garbage and complain about the taste…??
WATER IS DELICIOUS YOU FOOLS
They may use different sweetener alternatives to sugar, but they all taste the same and leave the same awful aftertaste and feeling in my mouth. Aspartame, suclarose, stevia extract, etc.
I hate it when they use them in juices even more; I would rather have the sugar free version simply not have any added sweeteners at all. I mean, the ones I am thinking about are still actually juice and coconut water, so the sweetness of the juice from its own natural sugars should be enough. Putting in the sugar substitutes just makes it gross.
If it’s not carbonated I can’t stand it. I got a hold of some 0 cal Snapple the other day and my lord that shit was unbearable.
What’s the over/under on him getting asked to withdraw as the VP now that it’s Kamala instead of Joe since he doesn’t really bring anything to the ticket than more smooth talking MAGA talking points?
“I had a diet Mountain Dew yesterday, and one today. I’m sure they’re probably gonna call that racist, too.” Around the room there were some scattered laughs.
…smooth-talking?
Yep. He is dialed in to the right-wing grievance politics message. You and I may think he sounds like an idiot but to the “my gender is attack/helicopter” crowd he generally hits all the notes perfectly.
But that’s the problem. He doesn’t bring anything outside of those who are already 100% tuned in.
I’m of two thoughts, I think GOP is thinking they’ll need to replace him because he is a direct double down of Trump, but their options are poor. It basically would have to be Haley or Scott. Anything else is just “MAGA white guy” and swapping one for another won’t have an impact.
Rubio or Bergrum still have their draws, Rubio to appeal to the Latino crowd that are already heavily Trump leaning and Bergrum has his money.
Yeah idk still think Bergrum, may as well keep Vance, he got that those SV backers for money. Big T and Lil Marco though now that’s a ticket. Sorry I can’t take this party seriously lol
A diet drink? Wow that’s very woke of him!
So brave of him to admit to like unmanly sodas!!
It’s because his diet daddy Trump exclusively drinks diet coke - but jd didn’t want to be to obvious of a kiss ass so he went with diet dew
It’s all about the caffeine, not the sucralose.
