The Walt Disney Company is an American multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate headquartered in Florida. ABC News is a brand of Disney Advertising, whose primary product is propaganda to buy automobiles and prescription pharmaceuticals.
MBFC is a right-leaning credibility gatekeeper that classifies this advertising vehicle as left of center, but it should be remembered that ABC is a neoliberal tool of billionaire Bob Iger, who rescinded his membership in the Democratic Party in 2016 when Trump came to power, and now identifies as an independent voter. He has donated to both Democrat and Republican politicians and PACs, but has been a enemy to unionization and working people. His only allegiance is to the billionaire class.
If you want to understand bias, follow the money. David Van Zandt’s site MBFC has a terrible track record of properly vetting sites for bias, and should not be featured here as an authority. Any journalism that is ‘left-leaning’ coming from ABC News exists in spite of its fundamental right-wing bias.
He can see useless postmenopausal women from his house.
Brilliant response!
So you’re saying he’s less non-unpopular
Palin alienated anyone vaguely in the middle, but on the other hand she had at least some particular support that she brought distinct from McCain (basically Tea Party folks that were not particularly excited by establishment republican nor McCain).
Vance doesn’t have any particular support, he only gets indirect support for people who are “republican no matter what” or “MAGA all the way”, but those people were already covered by Trump. Even in his own state his margin of victory was much slimmer than the other republicans that swept Ohio in 2022, and Ohio’s not even a state considered to be a risk to Trump’s campaign.
He was just a tremendously bad choice with no strategic benefit. The VP pick should somehow provide some coverage for demographics not hit by the presidential candidate, and Trump instead went with someone with very limited popularity that is a strict subset of people already supporting Trump.
True, he only brings the few techno autocrats. Though that does bring money (though some of that money, like Elon’s, would have gone there anyway).
But he was picked because he’d do what Vance wouldn’t and overthrow the election.

Pence, Vance, shitty Underpants…
same, same but different…
She also brought in the evangelicals because she was one of them. And she had the same false piety the other evangelical darlings have.
After seeing what the cultists were going to do to Pence, and that Trump was going to allow it, no one else was interested in being his VP. The only option was a bootlicker.
While the list was certainly constrained, he did have a line of boot lickers. Perhaps none more ardent than Tim Scott.
Given how they keep want to accuse Harris of ‘not being really black’, maybe they would have wanted to have Tim Scott, so it’s still terrible but at least it’s not as completely insane as two white guys trying to gatekeep being black.
I forgot about the Tea Party, ahhh…simpler times…
Imagine fucking a couch and then being popular…
Palin was at-least somewhat entertaining in her madness.
She also came across as ditzy, not creepily malicious.
I don’t know about that… but then I made sure to read about her past as mayor of Wasilla and before that. She is incredibly malicious and petty and vindictive.
Vance 100% knows what he’s doing. He accepted that he had to sell his soul to become a successful politician.
Palin at least gave grist for porn (nalin’ Palin). Furniture porn was hilarious before Vance, is still funnier without humans.
His greatest accomplishment.
It was not an easy feat, but he prevailed.
Indeed. This is a real achievement.
That’s impressive.
Most impressive.
JD-Wan has taught you well.
I don’t like this comparison lol
Yeah, but the cadence is perfect. shrug
Haha the sacrifices we make
I mean, yeah, I would be fine with leaving Palin alone in a room with my furniture.
And there’s not going to be any porn parody about couchfucker
not going to be any porn parody
I’m surprised it hasn’t been made already.
Have you tried JD Revanced? It’s much better than the original.
So many patches needed to make it palatable.
Made me chuckle, thx
Wait did we just find an exception to rule 34? I never thought I’d see the day…
You damn well know someone out there has drawn Vance absolutely raw dogging a leather couch and there’s nothing you can do about it.
I’m picturing the “Orgy is the New Black” meme except it’s Vance surrounded by couches
The ultimate twist on the “casting couch” cliché.
Is the couch physically a couch or is it a person disguised as a couch?
So many options!
Vance Unpants’d 2: loose change
And the critically acclaimed sequel, More Cushion for the Pushin’
Decades past relevance as a setup for a joke, but I just keep hearing Yakov Smirnoff in my mind.
In Soviet Russia, couch fucks you!

He just needs parody porn about him and they are one in the same.

Common guys! It’s funny!
fyi it’s “come on”, but that’s a common mistake.
Thank you.
And their nominee for president is older than McCain was.
That’s gotta sting.
More unpopular or less popular?
I think there’s a fun bit of linguistics there. If you say more unpopular it implies that both are unpopular and one is even more so. If you say less popular, it implies that they are both popular, but one is to a lesser degree.
That’s why i ask!
For me, less popular would also include people who are indifferent about them, just less people exited. Doesn’t necessarily mean that people really dislike them.
More unpopular seems to me there are more people who are actively against them, dislike them.
I can be not popular, without being unpopular at all.
But english isn’t my native or main language, so…
Yes
This type of deep, academic discussion is why I joined Lemmy.
Skibidi.
