But it’s literally how it works in the USA with voting. It shouldn’t, but it DOES.

Oh good call! I bet you’re right!

For you and anyone else who missed it:

“And I gotta tell ya; I can’t wait to debate this guy,” Walz continued, before pausing for dramatic effect. "That’s if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up. “See what I did there?”

The crowd was roaring. I’m not sure if he really paused for dramatic effect. They wouldn’t have heard him if he had said it right away. But either way, it was very funny.

You’re not wrong, but he’s the incumbent. They were never going to switch him out. He beat Trump last time, and there’s no way the DNC was ever going to float someone different. Hillary was not the incumbent.

But man it would be awesome to have “Yes we can” slogan energy back again. The speeches on the runup to Obama’s first presidential election were so morale-boosting. I ended up canvassing for him when I lived in northwest Indiana with my baby in a stroller and my toddler walking around with us. It was awesome.

Now I mostly just vote and get really upset a lot.

Wow! Thanks for the explanation! That’s a really great meme that went completely over my head.

That was so fun to read.
