If we can get Kamala drinking a beer and shooting bottles off a fence with her Glock, she may just win over some right wing voters

- Get Steve Austin in there.

  Except Austin is insane, a Trumper, a wife beater, a Vince McMahon defender, and claims brain damage isn't real

- At this point, I think y’all would cheer for her personally killing Palestinians.

  I'm convinced comments like yours are pro Trump bullshit trying to muddy the waters. What are you trying to do? Say Kamala bad cause Israel. Ignoring the fact that Trump would nuke Gaza rather than save it. That or you're trying to dissuade Kamala voters, so they stay home, or so they vote third party all which benefits only Trump and accelerates the destruction of Palestine
  
  If none of the federal candidates supports your side. Then it's not an election issue. They cancel each other out, It's a moot point in the election and should be dealt with through Congress and Senate. Though to say the Democrats and GOP are equal on this issue is bullshit, since the only politicians speaking out are Democrats

  What's your voting solution, oh wise one?

Did she actually drink it lol?

Unrelated, but one of the things that made me really respect Judy Greer was watching a Zoom call table read with the cast of Archer during COVID. Everyone was home and drinking elaborate cocktails except Judy - she was drinking Miller Lite out of a can. Respect.

- Did she actually drink it lol?
  
  Yes, she (and Colbert) each took a sip.
  
  Also, re Judy Greer, respect.

- ... Miller Lite though?
  
  I guess she's a little older, but we have better options these days. Our microbrewery boom was like over a decade ago now, people don't need to drink the watered down piss anymore.

  It's easy to hate on simple beers, but honestly, they're fine. Sometimes you want a complex experience that draws your focus; sometimes you just want "a beer" because it's not something you want to pay attention to.
  
  I lived in the heartland of craft brew for a very long time. I brewed, my partner brews. We went to festivals for brewing. These days, eh, a simple light lager is fine.

  Thank you Jimmy Carter.

  People like what they like. Maybe she wanted a 3.2 beer, which is harder to find at a microbrewery.

  People like what they like, and that usually stems from what they grew up with, even of it's not the "best" option available.

- Can't drink beer on TV

  Sure you can.
  
  And Colbert commonly has a drink with his guests (typically whiskey or bourbon).

  Only applies to beer ads AFAIK.

  Didn't watch WWE during the attitude era, did ya? Or the man show? Or expedition unknown? Or always sunny? Or cheers? Or lost? Or that 70s show? I could keep going but it'd be nearly limitless. Where did you get this idea? Fuck, I've seen people drinking beer on the news. Like, a lot.

  I always was taught that too. Maybe it was an old rule or maybe it’s after a certain time. Maybe it was never true and just something my parents taught me.
  
  Also, maybe Kamala and Colbert didn’t actually have alcohol in the can

Interesting choice. I'm not sure how popping a 12% doppelbach would have come across. But I respect a the quality of a simple thing.

Are they really doing the 'have a beer with' propaganda bullshit?

She is not one of us, she's clueless what our struggles are.

-65
- Oh she’s definitely not one one you, that’s for sure and that’s a good thing.
  
  She’s reasonable. And lives in readily.

  She spent her career locking up people like me and denying my rights. The ones not living in reality are liberals that cannot see that they have become the things that they claim to hate

- You are right. This is really cringe.

- You're really bad at what ever this is that you are trying to do

  Every. Single. Time this person posts they have an incredibly negative amount of votes. I have them tagged so that they're easily identifiable. I would encourage everyone to do the same so you can save yourself time from having to read their posts.
  
  They're competing with the media bias checker bot for the lowest scores in history

  When they onboard new people in Saint Petersburg troll factories it takes awhile to get them up to speed

- Would you rather Trump? Until the US becomes a true democracy, this is a yes/no question.
