Easily the most compelling campaign poster I’ve seen so far.

As long as it gets more people to listen to one of his STUPIDEST rants of all time.

It has to be a record amount of just the dumbest crap he’s ever said in under 3 minutes. He’s not actually lying about stuff, it’s him fundamentally not knowing super basic science and just putting full display how fucking dumb he is.

He manages to fail:

  1. Understanding buoyancy

  2. Being unaware that gas powered boats also have batteries

  3. Quoting someone as if they agreed with him that was absolutely an insult

  4. Disagreeing with a marine biologist on how sharks work

  5. Not understanding electrical current travels in water

Your point #2 is misleading. Though he didn’t explicitly mention it, the battery he refers to is the high-voltage Li-Ion battery (about 400 V) not the lead-acid starter battery, which is 15 volts when fully charged (on most boats). (I can imagine that’s because he doesn’t understand the technology; he’s been seen ranting about mercury in energy-saving lamps in 2020, well after LEDs superseded fluorescent lamps in all applications.)

Still, the short-circuit current is unlikely to paralyze anyone swimming reasonably far. The easiest way to see if electric boats are indeed hazardous is death statistics. I’m pretty sure there are way fewer electrocution cases at sea than, say, gun deaths.

I swear Harris trying to be the hip young meme conscious candidate because she’s only middle aged instead of “was in Methuselah’s graduating class” has already hit the barrier of “so cringe it’s almost gotten funny again.”

Especially since her social media team seems to actually understand how to be loud about confronting the enemy on the internet and making them look dumb.

Harris is a Boomer by a little over two months. Missed Gen-X by a hair. I hate to break it to the millennials but Harris isn’t middle aged…you are.

Since when did middle aged mean 30s?? I always thought it was mid 40s to mid 50s

Late thirties until you qualify for AARP (50), but honestly, we live an actively lifestyle for so long now that it really holds no significance anymore.

She was 13 when Star Wars came out. That makes her Gen-X as far as I’m concerned.

Some say 1961 some say 1962 is the start of gen x, so years in favour of she’s being gen x.

I mean if anyone cares (spoiler, I don’t).

It’s crazier than that. If you put every single definition of Generation X together, it stretches from the late 1920s to the mid-1980s.

Officially from most sources it is 1965, but if we’re being honest, the stereotypes of Gen-X come from those born in the 1970’s.

It’s still fun to welcome Millenials to the grey hair club.

Generation Jones is sometimes used to represent the bridge cohort between Boomer and X. The last boomers / first Gen X.

Seriously. I feel like her media team adopted AOC’s social media prowess and ran with it. Love it.

That’s worrying. I overall support Kamala Harris but I am opposed in principle to the use of attack sharks in a presidential campaign.

It’s not actually an attack shark, it just looks like that due to the angle. Both the shark and Kamala are sharing in a funny joke while Trump runs away

Yeah. Election sharks should be used for defensive purposes only.

My theory is he thinks it’s a genius thing that he can pronounce “electrocution”. That’s why he keeps repeating that specific word for as many times as possible in his story
