Remember though…. bOtH siDeS r tEh sAmE!
Democrats would NEVER checks notes dance?
Once we missed out on a way better president because he enthusiastically yelled "YEAAAAAHH!!!"
Yeah, and that was bad.
I'm not sure how that's relevant here except as a reason why doing that sort of thing is generally a bad habit.
No we didn't. Deans campaign was already in the toilet. The scream was his attempt to get people jazzed about upcoming primaries he had no chance of winning anyway.
For 40 minutes, during a rally, awkwaedly swing back and forth? No I doubt they would. Imagine what you would think if Biden did this.
The dude sucks at dancing like most maladjusted white men. i dont see an issue here out side of his rampant racism and fascism. we can do better.
Honestly? I'd be more likely to attend a political rally if they had more dancing and less pomp.
I wouldn't think anything of it if Biden did it.
So full of shit.
Lol ok.
I don't just assume people are in cognitive decline every time they do something spontaneous. Besides, Trump is obviously unfit regardless of his mental state. I guess when you're fully in on partisan brainworms you just have to reaffirm at every moment that everything the other side does is The Worst Possible Thing in case someone doubts your loyalty or commitment. Honestly part of why I don't give a shit about appealing to that circle, because it seems really boring and narrow. The world is so much larger than that.
-Lemmy.ml moment
Notorious dance fans, lemmy.ml
On stage, during a campaign event, for nearly an hour? Lol, no. That's weird.
I'm glad to know where your priorities lie, I guess.
None of my other priorities would like donald trump in office either
It's just kinda weird to me to hold up this as a refutation to the idea that "both sides are the same" when this specific thing is purely about aesthetics.
It's not aesthetics. It's very obviously a mental issue. Almost certainly Alzheimer's/dementia. If Biden had done this on the campaign trail every media outlet would be calling it what it is.
What makes you think this wasn't a conscious or cognizant decision?
Competent leadership?
How dare you ?
