"If confirmed, she would give the Democrats a majority at the FCC that would enable them to impose a radical left-wing agenda, including investment-killing and job-killing so-called net neutrality rules, otherwise known as Obamacare for the Internet" Cruz said.

What

It's just right-wing buzzword scrabble with that guy. No need to even speak in complete sentences, just say a bunch of words that your voters want to demonize, and take home the money.

"Radical" "Obamacare" "Left-wing" Triple word score!

[–] pythonoob@programming.dev 33 points 1 year ago

I was honestly nodding my head in agreement until I got the the word investment-killing. Then I realized it was meant to sound bad lol

[–] jettrscga@lemmy.world 60 points 1 year ago (2 children)

God damn, Cruz will molest talking points into a sentence by any means necessary. It's like he rolls dice each morning to decide which random words he has to slap together.

Drag shows are literally banning gas stoves through an Antifa deep state Obamacare abortion.

Political madlibs except you can't call them that because it has libs in it

Reminds me of the dolphins from South Park who write tv episodes. We already know all the lines and ideas, they just shuffle them now and then to break up the monotony (but will never help small businesses by breaking up a monopoly)

HOLUP You're saying these drag shows are going to force abortions onto everyone in the United States and they plan on INCREASING TAXES!? Thanks Obama.

[–] TheBenCommandments@infosec.pub 42 points 1 year ago

His constituents love Obamacare as long as you call it, “The Affordable Care Act” lol what a nutsack

Anything that comes out of his mouth is BS at best.

[–] jigsaw250@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't even know if he actually believes it but rather just wants easily fooled people to believe it.

[–] bobman@unilem.org 36 points 1 year ago

It's just saying a bunch of bullshit and hoping that one of the things you say resonates with everyone.

If you don't get them by the first 3 lies, saying 'Obamacare' is guaranteed to rile them up.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

As a Canadian I think it's hilarious that anyone thinks Joe Biden is the radical left.

[–] ram@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago

Ted Cruz reminds me of a lot of people, but I hate him more than any of them.

[–] jvisick@programming.dev 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

No worries, the Democrats will do what the party does best with a majority - pretty much nothing.

Enough to say “see? We’re better than the other guys”, but not enough to even nudge the status quo.

[–] absentthereaper@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I genuinely don't give a fuck about these petty little ontological bullshit games the DNC has grown fond of in the last two election cycles. I don't give the first fuck if they're "better than the other guys" if the status quo, if the material conditions aren't changing a jot. For misleaders who claim to be better than the cultists, I see a whole lot of fucking nothing changing for the progressive.

Until we have democrats that are serious about ending carceral slavery, ending(and fully disarming) the militarization of police, ending our mosquito-like suckling of crude oil and natural gas, ending the domestic espionage programs like PRISM, FIVE-EYES and their ilk, closing the genocide camps at the border, and making actual good on our climate catastrophe, I genuinely don't give a damn what they say; I'd rather the country fell than humor these career criminals.

I wish it was going to be radical left wing. Gimme that socialized internet!

[–] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I hate Ted Cruz so much.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

He said "buttery males"

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

That sounds... hawt. Republicans make Democrats sound cool.
