      HBO was advertising Veep when Biden withdrew. I bring it up because in addition to the obvious plot parallels that’s the most Julia Louis-Dreyfus expression I’ve ever seen.

        I’m pointing out that this post is propaganda and part of an electoral campaign why do you bring in even more political brainwashed argumentations?

          Everything is propaganda. I’m simply pointing out that some propaganda is more palatable than other types.

          I don’t give a squat about some dumpy middle age goon trying to make themselves look relatable and cool for an election.

          I do give a squat when a fat liar lies his way to the top of the pile, shits on our country for four years, before starting those lies back up & trying to do it all over again.

            Everything is propaganda.

            Your post isn’t coming from a pr team being paid to boost some government figure visibility, or at last i hope so. Not everything is propaganda, twitter posts with politicians taking selfies 100% are.

              EVERYTHING is sponsored. If it comes from a candidate, it’s sponsored. If it’s sponsored, it’s PROPAGANDA.

              I’m honestly not sure what’s left to debate here. Trumps “ads” are out & out falsehoods, lies, fabrications if you will.

              Incorrect information edited into a narrative designed to generate an emotion, typically fear, that calls on you to act by voting for an anthropomorphic circus peanut. You know? Lies.

              That picture is a picture. It has no words. It might tell a lie, but it is not a fabrication to generate fear. It’s a bunch of goons trying to look relatable enough to vote for.

              Will they lie if elected? Yes. The difference is they aren’t lying to my face directly while trying to pit me against my neighbors in an attempt to drum up hostilities. The other one is doing that.

        Where do you think they spend millions on their electoral campaign? Advertisement on the telegraph? This is a twitter repost rest assure they advertise there a lot.
