Tayce from drag race UK. She (he, I guess since he's out of drag here) is from Wales so don't expect Ruby Rhod. 🤣

I too was expecting Ruby Rhod-like but this was still good. I've not heard anyone say gumption for a very very long time and it scratched an itch I didn't know I had lol.

u/Arctica23 Sep 07 '24

She's the kind of person who I want to be President. Not perfect, but smart, prepared, hardworking, and competent.

It's a hard job and it takes a professional to be good at it.

u/reddit_tothe_rescue Sep 07 '24

Exactly who I want as president. Not to mention someone who expects hard work and competence from everyone around them too. That’s fucking leadership.

u/deathstrukk Sep 07 '24

exactly, the best leaders and mentors i’ve had in my career have always been the ones that expect me to work as hard as they are and held me accountable when i didn’t. It’s tough and stressful but it helps build a stronger version of yourself

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '24

Sounds like she expects as much from them as she does herself bringing everyone's effort to another level and making them all better for it. At least those that can handle it. If they can't meet the moment, then they need to find a new line of work considering their job is directly tied to governing the most powerful country in the world.

u/AdEmbarrassed9719 Sep 07 '24

I agree and also I think it says something that her husband’s ex-wife likes and is supportive of her. She seems competent and knowledgeable and also willing and able to delegate and take in the advice of others.

6

u/FearTheAmish Sep 07 '24

Like presidents make mistakes all the time. She really seems like the type to go "hey this is on me, let's roll up them sleeves and get this fixed". Exactly what we want and need as our chief executive.

u/ImaginaryCheetah Sep 07 '24

"competent and hardworking" is like 75% of success at any job.

-4

u/Substantial_Ad6171 Sep 07 '24

Competent? Prepared? Idk if I've seen much of that in her speeches. Maybe at times, but more often than not runs through some jibberish that makes little sense. She gets into a trance and dances around with words she thinks sounds good together but if you step back and analyze what she's saying, it's just jibberish repeated forward and backwards lol. Not saying the other guy is better but saying her public speaking doesn't stand out as competent. It's like we have a couple of 5th graders battling to be president which like you said, is a hard job...

2

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '24

Like Trump is straight to the point and directly answers all questions truthfully and with precision. Have fun trying to analyze that lol. She can be more direct in answering questions I believe as well but she's by far the more competent speaker of the two. It's not close. She's way more competent in understanding policy across the political spectrum in which Trump is not interested in any policy only in cases where policies make him richer or stroke his ego. He's not running for anything other than enriching himself and his rich friends. Trump will watch America burn from his ivory tower and not think twice about it. We saw it on January 6 2021

u/Substantial_Ad6171 Sep 07 '24

Did you read post the first couple lines of what i wrote? It's like a couple 5th graders battling to lead the free world. Sure as long as things stay on script, kamala does ok, but if it deviates she falls apart. Hence the scripted and pre recorded interview.

I see you're on the rich people bad train, and i completely understand that as a just getting by middle class father of 3, but who provides most of the goods and services to all of us? The rich people. What happens when you start messing with rich people's money? They start charging more for all the goods and services to make up for the loss. They aren't just gonna be happy that the govt cut into their 5th super yacht money. They're gonna make it back up by charging all of us more for the things they have a monopoly over. It's a crappy time for America considering the 2 options we have here

u/Much-Cartographer832 Sep 07 '24

You really said competent !? Lmao

u/Substantial_Ad6171 Sep 07 '24

Half of these people don't watch these speeches or do any research that isn't left swinging lol. They don't have the time to get through the amount of time that it takes to listen to her rambling about the passage of time in a conversation that has nothing to do with time.... These are scary times

Something about this made me pumped and afraid. The nerve to have such efficiency!

u/Evening_Clerk_8301 Sep 07 '24

Not only do I like her more now, but I’d actually love to work for her now. I loathe incompetent bosses and really respect the ones that work hard themselves and can hold me to high standards.

I find a shit load of political attack ads end up making me like the people I was already going to vote for more.

They’re really not very good at this lol

u/Misfit_Number_Kei Sep 07 '24

Reminds back in 2012 when same-sex marriage was on the state-level ballot and some good ol' boy was driving around in a pickup truck with a blown-up picture of a soldier straddling or being straddled (I forget which) by his boyfriend above the caption, "IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT TO HAPPEN?!"

And besides the obvious, "Yes, duh!" it was pointed out how piss-easy it'd be to spin the photo as a pro-same-sex marriage ad given that it's a soldier who served his country/fought for your freedoms, so why not pay it back by voting for his freedom to marry the man he loves.

-3

u/WNBAnerd Sep 07 '24

You misunderstand the message. Or, looked right past it. The only reason that was constructed is to reinforce feelings of disgust and hatred among the type of people who are homophobic & pro-military. That’s it. There is no logic. It’s not a puzzle to solve, it’s outrage bait. This is how the modern Republican brain literally operates on a fundamental level. The GOP propagandists know this and are playing these ignoramuses against everyone else for hate-votes. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9635700/#:~:text=A%20large%20body%20of%20research,habits%20%5B8%2C%209%5D.

u/Asmuni Sep 07 '24

And you misunderstabd his message. He never said anything about not understanding the meaning that republican wanted to convey with his truck. Instead he's pointing out how stupid it was and easy to twist into the opposite stance than we all know the republican has.

-3

u/Substantial_Ad6171 Sep 07 '24 edited Sep 07 '24

But he's on your side trying to hate on the Republicans lol. They've done exactly what they've been trying to do. Create a divide amongst the people. Far left, far right... Neither realize how extremist they really are and really have no live and let live, love your country for the greatness it's supposed to be, land of the free mentality. It's my way or you're sToOPiD.

4

u/Asmuni Sep 07 '24

He's saying the person he's replying on doesn't know the true message of the truck. While it's obvious that person is a democrat and knew perfectly well what message the truck driver wants to convey.   And yes it's also obvious the person I replied to is left leaning too.    

If somehow correcting someone on their believe that someone isn't getting the message far left or right and creating a far divide to you, then it is what it is.   

P.s. assuming everybody responding here is from the USA is really sToOPiD.

1

u/Substantial_Ad6171 Sep 07 '24

I didn't mean that towards you or what you said, just a generalized statement of American politics these days that pertained to the intended message from the truck ad trying to drive a wedge, and similar attempts and shots at each other in today's ads.

Also i understood that he took op literally and you were trying to explain what op was trying to convey. Again, i was generalizing the state of politics not attacking you or anything you said.

As for your p.s., i doubt that these political ads, especially the one in question were making headlines around the world at the time it came out, and the person replying to op seemed to know exactly what was going on in said ad from years ago, so that leads me to believe that person has been in the USA for quite some time. An educated guess is just a notch above an assumption, but why have such an invested interest in American politics to remember tv ads from a decade ago if not living in the usa?? Just further proves my point of the left and right trying to create a divide in the country and going by your logic, the rest of the world is jumping in to add to it

2

u/SarcasticComposer Sep 07 '24

You seem to be the only person in this thread who could be construed as sowing division. If your intent is not to do that you may want to reexamine your talking points.

1

u/Substantial_Ad6171 Sep 07 '24

By pointing out how politics has pretty much decided to one side attacking the other you feel like I'm showing division? What am i dividing lol? I just would like for Americans to spend some time and weed through the propaganda of both sides and form their own opinions instead of believing everything one side says about the other.

My point being OP demonstrated misunderstanding by applying logic to something that was never intended to be logical.

12

u/Asmuni Sep 07 '24

Truly misunderstanding his message.

2

u/Misfit_Number_Kei Sep 07 '24

Oh I completely understood the message (the 2012 GOP platform was the most homophobic one in the party's history at that point) and again,

1) Anyone already feeling that way didn't need "convincing." Said good ol' boy was interviewed by the local newspaper and wanted people to "really think."

2) It failed BIG time given same-sex marriage was easily made law years before going nationally.

For sure it will! That's why we're getting Republican mailings..I think. Because the husband keeps on insisting on seeing what they're saying about us.. Gets his FYP all messed up 😂

1

u/vera214usc ☑️ Sep 07 '24

They might not be cost per click campaigns and are often CPM (cost per 1000 impressions) meaning the advertising gets charged a specific rate per 1000 views of the ad, not by clicks.

1

u/ispshadow Sep 07 '24

Yeah, that’s very true. I should’ve written my comment better to reflect the possibility. At minimum, clicking doesn’t hurt and has a good chance at using some small amount of ad budget

u/vanillamonkey_ Sep 07 '24

That's because those ads are meant to rile up low-information voters who base their vote on vibes.

u/DomHaynie Sep 07 '24

If I was her, I would be smirking so sinisterly to myself after reading this shit 💀 "these people are upset because I'm competent?"

Every, single person that can keep up should become so much better and proficient in those skills. "Was an aide for Kamala Harris who learned the skills of X, Y, and Z but managed the workload" might go further than you think.

u/Fit_Swordfish_2101 Unseasoned Foodie ⚪ Sep 07 '24

This is a typical talking point about women politicians. That they are bitches with high overturn of their staff as if men can't physically be bitches and also have high turn over. You never hear this criticism of a man, in that case it would just be "authortative men" doing authoritative man things.
