"I don't know anything about Pokémon Go. But I need you to Pokémon Go to the Polls."

[–] KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago

She needs to sit down and shut the fuck up somewhere far away and without internet access.

Fr I am so tired of seeing this two faced anal discharge in the news.

A new headquarter to ignore Democrats and progressive ideas and being out of touch with the average voter?

Lady, you had your chance and blew it hard. Just fade away gracefully and let the younger generation take over.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

She isnt smart. That meme is already dead. She chasing trends, might as well say pokemon go to the poles.

Hey everyone don’t forget to hawk tuaw the polls!

[–] Eh_I@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Oh, I thought it was going to be something stupid. 😒

Yeah, these dumbasses still haven’t realized that they can’t do this shit themselves. Someone should tell them they have to pay other people to do it while pretending they’re not affiliated.

Its like there is some kind of Establishment Democrat playbook for political stunting, and its just non-stop weak-dick cringe.

They don't understand the memes of the vox populi, they don’t even understand memes are speech at this point.

gen Z

the 6-7 meme slop.

Is like when oled people don't realize they're milennial.

Gen Z are who we are in our 20's or like 17 at the minimum, Gen A is whom you call kids.

Glad I'm not from the US so i don't have to cringe over this lol.

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

oled people

It's a good technology, but they're not actually sentient, okay?

[–] Kage520@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Naw I like this move. Obama ended "thanks Obama" with his own use of it, since no one would ever top that. Maybe Kamala can end 6-7 in her own way.

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Maybe Kamala can end 6-7

It's already over, lol, you're showing your age, too.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

what the fuck are oled people

[–] FrChazzz@lemmus.org 19 points 2 days ago

People with rich, bold colors, and appear crisp with zero detectable pixels.

[–] pachrist@lemmy.world 33 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is a "Pokémon go to the polls," vibe. Not a compliment.

Damn, I guess that's how the Dems will manage to lose their electoral goodwill.

[–] ecvanalog@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

They don’t have any to lose. They are so unpopular their only chance at meaningful wins on a national level is the Refining being so profoundly incompetent it hurts swing voters.

Frankly if you were ever counting on Harris and crew to save you you were already lost.

Thank you Kamala for finally killing this whole 6 7 thing.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago

Criminal levels of cringe.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 days ago

Poochie is rad to the max.

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 days ago (6 children)

She can't even tell the difference between Gen Z and Gen Alpha.

Good thing is, this bullshit of hers may kill 67 hype for good.

Fuck off Kamala.

[–] karashta@piefed.social 26 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Shut your stupid face and crawl back into your AIPAC hole, you worthless piece of corporate Democratic trash.

I'm pushing towards 50 and this feels cringe to me. So logically this should be the coolest thing ever for the kids, right?

My nephew told me about how a kid at school got punched for doing it on the playground because so many kids are fucking sick of the meme.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 31 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Alright, so 6 7 is officially uncool.

I'm fucking embarrassed and I'm not even gen z.

[–] MantisToboggon@lemmy.world 35 points 3 days ago

Bitch we just did not like you. You can't spin that shit.

[–] ThanksObama@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Go away. You are part of the problem. Both you and Gavin can go fuck right off.

Gen Z? I though this was more of a Gen alpha thing
6️⃣🤷‍♂️7️⃣

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (3 children)

the same thing happened to millennials. they got blamed for being stupid teenagers when they were in their mid twenties. it seems it takes about a generation for the old folks to catch up what's the new word for the youths nowadays, by then it's often barely accurate anymore

Because 'Headquarters 69' would be too cringe, fr fr no cap.

[–] Paranoidfactoid@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I voted for her in 24 and I was glad to. I'm sorry she lost. But I don't think it's wise she run for President again in 28. Governor of California? Great. Let California decide. But the stakes are too high for the Presidency.
