George Bush Sr - "No new taxes, 1000 points of light, and potatoe"
Bob Dole - holding a pencil weird
Ross Perot - big ears and too many charts
Al Gore - "Lockbox"
John Kerry - Flip-flopper
John McCain - “Maverick” and "dontchaknow Palin"
Mitt Romney - Mormon
Hillary Clinton - “Pokémon Go To the Polls” (plus Russian led disinformation campaign to paint her as an unlikable bitch)
Then there’s: Trump - sleeps with prostitutes, promotes “grabbing women by the pussy”, openly racist, praises world dictators, makes fun of handicapped people - wins election.
Now I’m Australian so what I saw might not have been the full picture but it felt like Hillary ran a lazy campaign at least from the international coverage.
I dont remember a single specific thing about it, no policies, platforms or sound bytes. It wasnt memorable. What I do remember was mostly commentary about how she was clearly better than Trump. It felt like she expected to win on name recognition and because he was so clearly wrong for the job.
Just my thoughts, I have no doubt there was medding but I also dont think she played a strong game either.
That was her problem, she basically figured it was her “turn” after Obama and then all she had to beat was that moron Trump. Technically she did have more votes it our stupid electoral college system let him win more electoral votes. She did absolutely suck and there needs to be better options in this country.
Yea her campaign was “I’m not trump, and I did decent under Obama” unfortunately those two statements were a major problem for what appears to be nearly half the voting population
Ross Perot was never going to win. Especially after dropping out then rejoining. He said dirty tricks party threatened to out his daughter which came off weak instead of just saying “Republicans”
Al Gore - Bragger
It was Al Gore is a bragger for saying he invented the Internet. Which he didn’t say, and Vint Cerf repeatedly defended Al Gore as the only politician who saw the potential of the Internet and worked to make it happen.
Can you shut the fuck up? My god, those poor CEOs need all that extra money, otherwise they would be embarrassed when their rich buddies learn they can’t afford a seventh mega yacht.
Still showing for me. Seen both the aforementioned bent over dude and some incomprehensible AI generated word salad spam, both from users on lemmy.blahaj.zone.
I think some people try to get the trans friendly lemmy.blahaj.zone defederated as much as possible. Those kinds of attacks are sadly a weakpoint in the fediverse.
The gore dead baby photo directly under it was worse. I reported the one I saw in a different thread and I’ve blocked the user. Don’t need to see that again.
FWIW apparently the deer was tame and she only kept it while making a movie (and maybe for a bit afterwards while she was recovering from a miscarriage.) In the movie, her character was followed around by a deer so it had to get used to being near her beforehand. source
They have admitted when they were wrong in the past.
All the previous presidents were characters in South Park. Clinton, Bush, Obama…all represented as themselves.
Trump is represented by the most racist character in South Park who is otherwise famous for being fucked up gay trans trans and lesbian transtrans and gay whatever the heck he is now.
It just sort of happened that way, but there hasn’t been a precedent for this.
I don’t know if they’re still doing the “both sides” thing, but they might’ve stopped at some point.
Not that they won’t make fun of people on the political left, but they might have gotten over the political fence sitting.
I just looked it up! It apparently only ever really worked when they drove it in reverse, and it was considered such a failure that it was abandoned in Antarctica and got buried under the ice until some people dug it up in the 50s and then lost it again, and it’s current whereabouts are unknown!
There’s a pretty good video on YouTube that details it’s failure. The Russians also had something similar and I think they where more successful at it. youtu.be/pW0eZRoQ86g?si=4JCqtCmS1mMLDOve
For those wondering, the riot police still attacked them in the end. But the Velvet Revolution eventually succeeded in overthrowing the government through sustained civil resistance and strikes.

Huge surprise there. Pigs fucking hate nonviolent protesters; here in Finland a bunch of Extinction Rebellion folks got tear gassed and beaten by cops just for funsies
Oh no, what did Eminem do. Hehe. Despite the implications of his very creative rhyming style, disgusting is not as similar to “discuss me” as he can make it sound.
