      Hey, I wish “They go low, we go high” worked but 2016 proved that isn’t the world we live in. Even then, joking that Vance fucked a couch, which is a super fantastical claim which most people will at worse laugh at, is in a different league than claiming the VPotUS got there on her knees, especially when misogynistic magats will instantly believe it is true.

        There’s a difference in boldly criticizing and just lying.

        Even then, joking that Vance fucked a couch, which is a super fantastical claim which most people will at worse laugh at,

        You say that but it’s easily believed as something a teenager could’ve done. Also right after the last time I had this silly argument I corrected someone on here who thanked me because they literally believed it happened.

        is in a different league than claiming the VPotUS got there on her knees, especially when misogynistic magats will instantly believe it is true.

        Of course it is. “They’re worse” isn’t really an argument. Just an excuse.

      This is totally harmless and a total tounge in cheek reference to the only talking points MAGA can come up with. MTG says Democrats are pedophiles on the floor of congress, lefties are saying JD fucks couches on Twitter. There’s apples and oranges but this is oranges and pine cones and also helps lighten the mood overall which helps voter engagement and turnout.

      But most importantly, fuck em.

        It was never true, not even partially. I don’t want to measure how decent I am by the shittiest benchmark conceivable, i.e. MTG. Also btw this is based on a tweet that is believable and cites page numbers. Plenty of teenagers have done things weirder than fuck couches.

          You missed the entire point of what I said. The “lowest” the left went is an obvious joke, which is the oranges. MTG calling dems pedophiles is the fucking pine cones. They are NOT similar, at all. It is not something that can br used to measure a god damned thing. Don’t be obtuse because you have a bad take on an issue, it’s a bad look.

          And anyone who thinks someone would write about fucking couches in a grift book to Bible thumper is a fucking idiot. That is not believable.

            Thanks for identifying yourself as someone I never would choose to converse with. You know I never implied the two were comparable.

                That quote is me saying that I refuse to be compared to her. Not sure why Internet people so often choose to not understand thoughts if they didn’t have them first.
