In Australia cheap cask wine drunk from a plastic cup is pretty standard behaviour for whatever our equivalent of a frat boy is. People at house parties used to judge me as being somehow fancy for drinking Jameson instead of cask wine. Not that there aren't fancy wines here, but wine is not fancy in and of itself.

If everyone was drinking wine and it was either boxed wine or some kind of jungle juice punch made with cheap wine, it would be fine. it's mainly the juxtaposition of being the only guy with a clear cup compared to everyone else holding the classic red solo cup. They could be drinking wine too, we don't know.

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.

we are each others' stupid hillbilly cousins

Imagine if Scooby-Dum saw Scooby-Doo coming and was like "oh jesus, I gotta deal with this dumb motherfucker again". That's America and Australia.

I'll do you one better: just have the wine in the same kind of red solo cup that everyone else is in the picture is drinking out of!

There is not a single human being who is pro-choice and is going to vote for Oz because Fetterman slurs his words a little. It's a frankly insane narrative.

i'll take that bet, there's at least one fuckin weirdo who this makes a difference for. americans are insane.

I think you're confusing why someone might be reticent to vote for this guy. "Slurring his words" and having to use a CC machine may be a symptom of cognitive decline or impairment following a stroke. It's not the actual fact that he's slurring his words, it's the fact that he may not have all his mental abilities.

What you're doing is watching the "good morning, Sunday morning" video and saying that it'd be silly not to vote for Pelosi just because she "mis-spoke in an interview." Or you're watching the Joe Biden videos and saying he has a stutter. You're trying to highlight the symptoms, diminish the actual medical issue going on, and criticize people worried about the medical issue by saying they'd have to be insane to worry about the symptoms.

no actually what I'M doing is saying that at least one person, one american, who is both pro-choice and would rather vote for Dr. Oz because Fetterman slurs his words a little. because we are an insane country and 1/3 of the people who vote decide who they're gonna vote for within 12 hours of the election

It's not crazy to not want to vote for him because he might have serious cognitive issues. Framing it as "not voting for him because he slurs his words" is what the vote blue losers say about Biden and Pelosi.

Also extremely funny to see cspam posters arguing that the senate is so corrupt and dysfunctional it doesn't matter, vote Fetterman! might as well go ahead and vote Feinstein and Bloomberg and Schulz, nothing matters right? Embrace the succ.

i don't get to vote in the race because I don't live in PA. I think if he gets elected Fetterman will be a bog standard shitdem senator who looks/sounds mildly more like an actual person than like Chris Coons.

and I don't think the stroke thing seems that bad, as a guy who has had several relatives have strokes and seen how bad the damage from one can be. It seems like he's relatively ok and not nearly as bad as Feinstein. that being said, I truly do not give a poo poo about who you vote for, write-in the Philly Fanatic if you're in PA.

boy, everything sure does suck, huh? we can't even have one big, vaguely progressive guy who looks like he should sell wallet chains become a senator without his brain exploding and it coming out that he tried to citizens arrest a black guy using a shotgun and having to basically renounce all the good stuff he believes and promise to hug and kiss barrels of oil. maybe electoral politics in America just loving sucks poo poo

tbf this is like one of three disappointing endings you get when you support any political candidate

Pepe Silvia Browne

you got ending B... your candidate turned out to be a right wing freak once they got a small modicum of power.

try again for ending A... your candidate slowly capitulated under the weight of the system and became a cog in the machine.
or ending C... your candidate died mysteriously shortly after threatening to use their power in any way.

john fetterman is not an epic ogre, as evidenced from the fact that all he can do is wave a flag from the roof of his home when he should obviously be throwing barrels at the protestors below
