The GOP candidate got the cold shoulder from firefighters, who, by comparison, warmly embraced Walz on Wednesday

    Negative rizz is such a fucking insane thing to see in the news. Imagine showing that to someone 20 years ago.

      Rizz wasn’t even a thing 20 years ago. Hell I can’t imagine it 5 years ago

        As an RPG player that heard Rizz for the first time a while back it kinda just clicked instantly. Im not sure how unique that is

      I have no idea what it means. I’m 41 and basically since 2016 the political landscape to me has been nothing but a bunch of rich people telling me they are gonna make things better. No explanation on how it with what. No hard-line messages on topical issues. Just fuckin garbage sound bites and massively overblown/out of context/straight up fabricated quotes.

      I didn’t get spammed with text messages for the last 6 months telling me all the policy that were gonna get. I didn’t get text messages asking what i thought of [insert candidates/party name] actions on whatever. I got 6 months of spam begging for donations. That’s it. My preferred party has done nothing but beg me for money via SMS like some desperate pampered chef consultant.

        It’s just short for charisma, it’s nothing new.

        I couldn’t agree more about the emails though, I paid to join labour here in the uk when they had a leader who seemed to care but all I got for it was endless emails begging for money - I tried to join all the things that said ‘have your say’ or ‘be heard’ but none even pretended to be interested or had any form of way for me to give input. The only option I actually found was I could get tickets to a meeting where theoretically at the end I might get a chance to ask a question from the audience…

        It really made me aware that they don’t actually want to know what people think, either because they have no respect for us or because they know full well that people want things they have no intention of delivering.

        We need to move towards having actual digital town squares where people can voice their opinions, personally I want to be able to register my approval or disapproval of policy and politicians changing it if my mind changes - I’m fed up of just being told ‘we assume people want this so you’ll have to put up with it’ or even worse ‘we’ve decided you should want this so you’re going to enjoy it!’

      You see the word ‘slammed’ all of the time currently. This is no different; you’re (we’re) just old.

        Oh no I’m young, I’m just self aware enough to realize that the things I say are pretty weird. Zoomer culture is insane and beautiful and horrible.
