yeah, fetterman's run a good meme campaign (lol), but they're still centering 'oz is a weirdo rich out-of-touch outsider guy' while oz has found a big scary issue that resonates (Radical John Fetterman is Soft On Crime will let (((Urban Youths))) boil out for Philly and Pittsburgh to murder your suburban family in their beds) and is blanketing the airwaves with it, and they don't seem to have an answer :shrug:

Well, in America it is. It's fancy and effeminate, despite being 2x to 5x stronger by volume.

Except loooww tier fortified wines like md 20/20 and thunderbird. People kinda don't know what to think about those.

MD20/20 is for alcoholics and people who hate themselves

You're not an American man. You just don't understand how gay wine is and how straight tailgate parties are.

It's stupid as hell, but that's exactly what it is.

Part of the reason why I find America so confusing is that it is so similar to Australia in most ways, but that just makes the differences feel somehow even more alien than they do with other countries. There's a sort of uncanny valley effect where something like this feels so much more wrong than anything that, idk, lets say French politics could ever produce.

could an American explain to me why this is so scandalous, I'm not up on tailgate etiquette

wine is for women and gays unlike football, a sport about touching men in private areas

Uncanny valley is a good way to sum it up.

you wouldn't expect Oz to know anything about working class or poor people cultural stuff but that's why you hire people who do know about these things. did no one on his team say "hey beer would be a better look for this one"? i still think the most likely theory is that his staff just want him to lose. maybe the Ogre has a man on the inside advising Doc in such a way to make him seem even more like a rich effete dipshit than he already is.

If nothing else Fetterman knows how to appeal to millennials so if he loses it’s cause all the old chuds who saw dr Oz on the teevee decide to come out and vote in record numbers

that's why the GOP had two out-of-state guys they brought in for that seat primary, the rich business guy / culture war gun nut and the TV huckster. Unfortunately for them the TV president saw the TV man and swung the pendulum in his favor.

Had McCormick won the primary I'd be a lot more worried.

I'm surprised they didn't push Brian Fitzpatrick to run, but the chuds in Bucks county will re-elect him forever so I don't blame him for hanging on to his safe seat

i feel like his last foray out of bucks was a disaster, but also involved his large adult brother being an idiot or something

anyway as long as Shapiro wins i welcome whatever hilarious thing happens on the senate side
