Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Trump's campaign co-opted the star’s song “Freedom” just days after accusing Harris of “copying” him.

Should have went with Radiohead Creep. They are such weirdos

If you go by the song's full lyrics, even that doesn't fit. The person at least is acknowledging (right or wrong) that they are not worthy or great for the other, and just wishes they could be good enough. There is nowhere near that much self-awareness with Trump and friends.

How Bizarre, by OMC?

I could see it in an attack ad. Black and white footage of Trump looking confused and tired - “what the hell am I doing here?”

"I want you to notice.... when I'm not around..."

Cut to Harris smiling and waving with some of her campaign goals on screen

"You're so very special... I wish I was special..."

Cut to Trump with his duck face pose, with various SA accusations, "grab them by the pussy" quotes, and 34 convictions.

"But I'm a creep... I'm a weirdo..."

Cut to Trump looking confused and tired.

"What the hell am I doing here?"

Cut to Trump standing awkwardly near previous presidents, or just a picture of presidents from both parties talking without him in it.

"I don't belong here..."

Cut to sad dejected Trump

"I don't... belong... here."

You leave radiohead out of your sick fantasies.

[–] MinorLaceration@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I would pay to watch that ad.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

"...I don't belong here."

[–] draneceusrex@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Don't give the fucking orange-cheeto nazi bastard any ideas. Unless he wants to play Electioneering, and then less than 1% of attendees would understand he's admitting to his grift, stay the fuck away from Radiohead.
