for some reason every time I see someone say seppo I think it's some archaic slur against the japanese

[–] MoreAmphibians@hexbear.net 1 points 2 hours ago

You may be thinking of sepoy, of Sepoy Rebellion fame.

I have to admit, there is something refreshingly honest about Newsom campaigning on how similar he is to a Wall Street millionaire serial killer who gets sadistic gratification from murdering homeless people. You have to admit, the similarities are uncanny, and not just the physical ones. (Cw: sexual violence and extreme abuse of nonhuman animals) I mean, Bateman is also an ultrapriviliged ultraviolent sexual predator who murders women with chainsaws and kills kittens by stuffing them into ATM machines, but so far as we know, Newsom hasn't done those kinds of things yet. But the murdering homeless people though? That is so on-the-nose, there is no way he is unaware of the connection.

I cannot believe out of all the characters this one would be picked. Maybe it is fake idk

Gavin Newscum reminds me of California Über Alles. Everytime I see him that song plays in my head

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 2 points 2 hours ago

Our stagnation can be deduced from the plethora of punk songs written to criticize politicians in the 70s/80s that are able to swap out whoever they’re referencing with whoever’s currently in office and keep the same complaint. The only progress is the decline.

This is the most obvious engagement-bait I've seen in a while

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

i can't believe some social media manager got paid to do this.

[–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 2 points 3 hours ago

Let's not jump to conclusions. It could be an unpaid intern instead.

Trying to relate to his constituents.

[–] Sneakytrickyyy@hexbear.net 12 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

I just want to let you know that there is an actual possibility clue-freeman might become the next president (if they still do that stuff) because Americans are gullible as shit and he's "not a Republican at least" lol

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

The biggest advantage Newsom has, and I'm not even joking, is that he looks like a guy who'd play the president on TV.

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

He looks like a guy who plays the president of the US in a communist movie.

Not just look alike, but treat homeless people the same way too

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 12 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

That's funny though. I like it when people get in on a joke about them

[–] Runcible@hexbear.net 10 points 5 hours ago

Him playing along with the zodiac killer joke is literally his only likeable trait

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 16 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Kamala Harris was too charismatic and empathetic.

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 17 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

biden was empathy void anyway so that's right out as defining politician characteristic.

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah but he had a certain joir de vivre that was endearing

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

What if instead of carry on my wayward son it was Carrie on my way, Watson and it was a crossover episode of sex and the city where Carrie is Sherlock Holmes and Watson is still just british and they have to solve a crime on the road in front of her house?

Also someone ping Carcosa and tell them to make this a tagline

Could've just said he looked like a young Christian Bale

He doesn't, but it would have come off less unhinged than this

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 22 points 9 hours ago

I honestly thought Newsom had no chance but after looking at this dumb bullshit, I’m convinced he’ll be president

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 22 points 9 hours ago

This is why the popular kids should never be given power.
