We literally had a bunch of people disagreeing with each otherThe masturbatory echo chamber is strong in this thread I see.

I’m not saying it doesn’t work. Why do you think companies be so Woke? PRThat's exactly what it is-- PR. And PR works.
Really? Whenever he talks all I can think about is that he's got hairy legs and is the husband of Biden and y'know, the thing!I'm with Agema. Likeable. For the first time in a long time, I heard a President speak and I felt intelligence coming from the words. The attempts of comforting and togetherness. I was literally confused about this feeling of not completely experiencing rage the second I heard my President speak.
It has been that long.
....Really? Whenever he talks all I can think about is that he's got hairy legs and is the husband of Biden and y'know, the thing!
He's the one who said it!....
Crimson. WHY are you thinking about Biden's legs?!
Of course they are, and they're doing so quite successfully. That was precisely my point (and Agema's): that it's not an unrealistically low opinion of the public to say that people get easily influenced by a public figure putting on the pretence of having a pint and talking about the football.I’m not saying it doesn’t work.

I’m saying they are using what people like against them to score political points
Trump talked about his member and how he has "no problems". Did you think about it every time you heard him talk for these four years?*snips*
Yes, but that doesn't make Biden sound like an intelligent person. Whatever Trump sounds like, Biden sounds like he's a month away from the home.Trump talked about his member and how he has "no problems". Did you think about it every time you heard him talk for these four years?

You’re being played. They are, and have been for decades, been using you. Go have a pint with them. Don’t pretend that’s a good test because it’s just performative politics.Of course they are, and they're doing so quite successfully.

Isn't that what Silvanus said?You’re being played. They are, and have been for decades, been using you. Go have a pint with them. Don’t pretend that’s a good test because it’s just performative politics.
That we should be fine about their PR stunts like this? I don’t think I’ve agreed to this at all They’re agreeing that it’s all smoke and mirrors. But they haven’t said it’s a terrible idea - I.e. we may need a different metric for ‘down to earth’ politicianIsn't that what Silvanus said?
You know who else had a whole bunch of funny little verbal mistakes that made him super relatable?Edit: before somebody brings it up, the whole "oh, his little verbal mistakes just make him relatable", that is only possibly true until you remember all the world leaders he's going to be speaking to in the next 4 years.
Ah, I remember when they examined some advertising material put out by the Trump team, the photos were digitally retouched in various ways. We're well used to airbrushing and slimming people, but they also increased the length of his fingers.Trump talked about his member and how he has "no problems".

Yeah, likeable.Likeable? The guy with the 'you ain't black' comment??? I guess he can fool some people into thinking he is much like Trump can for his people.
Yeah, likeable.
He made a dumb ass comment. If your life was under a microscope, how many dumb comments would people ride you over? Would it be the same for anyone else here?
Should I think Max Dood is dumb or unlikeable because of his N-word issue?
What about Max Kellerman?
Should we have kicked out Justin Trudeau for his Black face? Or is it just enough to call him not intelligent because he made an insensitive mistake that he thought would be a goof? Ted Danson also did it... Hell, thinking about it, we could just fill this whole section with insensitive black face.
I still don't have a problem with what Liam Neeson said. But understand, I think it was a dumb response. I think it was human. It was kneejerk, hot-headed and yes STUPID compulsion he had, but to base all of his intelligence or likeability over something he felt when we was younger and dumber.
Mark Wahlberg is a different case. I'm sure he made amends and actually got his mind right. But he BLINDED someone. He can repent, and i will accept that repentance. But that's more than a slip of the tongue or a stupid statement trying to seem cool. That's someone's life.
And that's the issue. There are degrees and we are human. There are things we say that we don't mean in a really bad way, but we know we're being playful. There are things we say in the heat of the moment that we wish we could take back. And then, yes, we have dumb moments.
It was a dumb moment of Biden. Other than prejudiced people, I'm sure most people would agree that it was a dumb moment. But I have dumb moments. And I remind you that you do to. Because we don't have the scale or the focus on a political leader doesn't make it less dumb. Just more lucky for us that people aren't paying attention.
No we didn't.We literally had a bunch of people disagreeing with each other
