Maybe the most egregious example of this was something I saw yesterday, which was somebody saying "Tim Walz needs to go vegan". When pressed about why him and not, say, Donald Trump, they said that people on the left and center were more likely to actually be swayed. It wasn't worth engaging any further, but I thought it was pretty hilarious that they bothered to try to push the 60-year-old VP candidate to go vegan, but not the 40-year-old VP candidate. Like, you know that you're not pushing the needle for anybody with that post, right?
It's about as useless as making a post saying that JD Vance should hang dry his clothes instead of wasting energy running a clothes dryer.
Suggesting it's easier to convince a Midwestern football coach/car dad to go vegan than an NYC germaphobe is a level of optimism I have never seen
Look pal, the general said “sow division” amongst whatever socio-political lines we can see, ok? Why Do You Hate Black Vegan Catholics???
