It wouldn’t drive traffic as much, but I’d definitely be in favor of the title just saying he endorses Trump’s statements, and then ending the article with the punchline. In bold, of course. To highlight the hypocrite and asshole he is.
Actually, maybe not a hypocrite, since the few things I’ve seen in how he treats his wife he may just be an asshole, even to them. But I don’t have the evidence for that. The treatment, I mean…he’s definitely an asshole.
It’s like a headline that says “man diddles little boys”. It’s the act of messing with kids that’s gross, not that it’s worse because it was boys.
Or if a teacher drops the n bomb in a class and someone saying “it’s worse because there were black kids in the class”. No, that’s not worse, it’s not less bad in any way.
But the headline I think is showing the hyprocacy and that’s important too.
Ha. Good fucking luck with that. I got here about a year ago and you could expect that people would listen and engage but over the last few months, it’s gotten like reddit was a few years ago. Once the dog pile starts, it just goes.
It’s both, in combination. He’s being racist, and he has kids with an Indian woman. Leaving out that part would be a glaring omission to the story.
It’s very much like the stories of the Republicans who want to make abortion illegal, which is bad enough, but it’s monumentally worse when it turns out they’ve had or paid for abortions.
Yeah I think it’s because it kinda implies he doesn’t see his kids as being welcome to both of their ethnic heritages. And from what I’ve heard from half white friends it’s an awkward thing they often experience. Like I had a friend growing up who everyone was willing to acknowledge that he’s Filipino, but nobody was willing to acknowledge that he was equally hillbilly.
I think you’re the only one taking it as “hinging on.” Most people are taking it as “Person is against X but also chose X” (where X itself is a bad thing). Headline makes it clear he’s both a racist and a hypocrite. Both are important to know.
Your problem is the headline. And you’ve now tried arguing against it many many times. You’ve even said multiple times that “I don’t know why”.
That’s ridiculous. If you’re that shallow I could care less about what you’ve said with other people while you, let my my notes here… ah yes. While you’ve criticized just the headline and nothing from the article, which I’m 100% sure you haven’t even bothered to read.
#1, it’s the The Daily Beast. This is their thing, to do articles with splashy headlines like this. #2, I don’t have a problem at all pointing out the unending hypocrisy.
Again, I think you’re expecting too much from The Daily Beast. This is the type of article they write to get clicks. This article isn’t from the New York Times or the Washington Post, but an internet site that specializes in splashy headlines and blunt articles.
It’s like you’re criticizing a donkey for being a donkey. “I just can’t put my finger on why, but I don’t like that donkey.” Maybe stay away from the donkey farm then.
I didn’t say they had low standards, I said they have splashy headlines and blunt articles. In my experience their articles are factual, they just don’t beat around the bush, or sugar coat it, or whataboutulism it like the more traditional mainstream media. They’re blunt about it, that’s their identity to get clicks. My suggestion was for you not to read articles from The Daily Beast if you don’t like their style. Or if you do read them, don’t criticize. Criticizing their style is nonsensical, like criticizing a donkey for being a donkey. That donkey may not… how did you put it, sit right with you… but that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with the donkey.
Exactly. I would have assumed JD Vance had a totally white family and was just a garden variety racist. But now I’ve learned he’s a racist and a hypocrite

It’s pointing out how much of a hypocrite he is.
deleted by creator
It kind of is the most relevant part of pointing how and why he’s a hypocrite.

So never call these assholes out is what you’re saying.

You’re defending him by telling everyone not to point out how he’s a hypocrite. That’s where I got it from.

WTF? Trump brought up the whole thing, and now it’s on the table.
You sound perilously close to the folks who claim that any mention of race is racist.
Not a good look.

I didn’t down vote you.
At this point, we all need to set aside whatever minor quibbles we have and focus on the next couple of months.
The election is the only thing that matters.
