The whole thing was so staged, I guess any job would have looked too easy.

Mike Row is a piece of shit, but at least Dirty Jobs made it look like he was suffering just a little bit.

The manager/shift lead should have yelled at him for literally anything.

If you're not being demeaned by your boss or the customers, you're not really getting the true food-service job experience

I wish they had made him flip burgers instead, or maybe stand on the assembly station? Fries are so unexciting.

I would have paid money for someone to milkshake bomb him, too. Maybe that's why nobody seemed to be ordering drinks.... Secret service working overtime to protect our big boy from IED's (improvised explosive drinks)

I would love to know more about his Pewdiepie-WSJ storyline - are there any good links about it?

"I know how to sit on a fence. Hell, I can even sleep on a fence. The trick is to do it face down with the post in your mouth"

A favorite complaint i see in comms like MoG is that the war in Gaza is "off topic".

It's clear that since there's no defending the democratic position toward Israel, they will simply ban direct discussions of it.

"My bad"

It honestly looks like they're intentionally trying to torpedo their own chances. Who do they expect to convince with that rhetoric?

Not as insulting as Obama telling black voters that they don't want to vote for Harris because she's a woman.

I've really gotta hand it to democrats here, I don't think I've ever seen a more effective strategy to radicalize progressives

Breeding a new generation of activists that will oppose them for the next 50 years is the best spin I can put on this.

Yea, honestly I thought they weren't actually going to show the video uncensored like they did. That one stuck with me.

Some of his campaign positions were lesser homages to Sanders' positions, like the student loan relief and universal child care. I think Bernie dragged the entire 2020 Democratic field to the left, at least aesthetically.

Obviously those promises fell through (or were never real to begin with), but I don't think he ever would have campaigned on them if not for the fact he was campaigning against them in the primaries.

I think the weirdest part of that was the choice in music

Jesus christ

Maybe put a content warning on that... I know they warn you at the top of the video but holy shit their warning doesn't really cover it

They included some clips of those statements, idk. They're obviously pretty out of context but it's admittedly not Hasan's best moment. I don't know what the broader context was there, and the guy who clipped it seems like a Destiny troll obviously looking for fodder to comment on. I'm sure he keeps talking about that take where the clip abruptly cuts off - maybe he clarifies or walks it back - but without knowing where it came from myself I can't say for sure.

Maybe my favorite example of what you're talking about was after the first debate - podjons were visibly shaken by his performance and were floating replacing him, and the subreddit and most of the lib media world absolutely lost it.

That was my favorite day of this campaign (so far)

Yea, 100% it's a political calculation.

Not only would Harris be saddled with all the shortfalls of Biden's administration, but republicans would probably paint her as a power-hungry tyrant for pushing out her predecessor (they already are).

Wow, that thread is cursed

Eh, those are perennial anti-communist slurs used by terminally online libs

IIRC Hilary actually used the term 'bernie bros'. I haven't heard Harris say anything directly accusational about the left yet, but they've been keeping a tight lid on her public comments so who knows if she would, given the chance. I keep waiting for her to call anti-war protestors 'antisemitic' - she's gotten close but I don't think she's been direct about it yet.

And then there are those who likely use both, but come to lemmy just to ML's
