Personally I originally went to Discord because it was the alternative to skype which was increasingly becoming shittier and shittier when Microsoft bought it.

I'm not trying to insinuate anything about vance or insult him or anyone else.

Oh I definitely am. He's a grown adult and a politician, he absolutely should have the media training to answer a simple question like "Why would a Wisconsinite have a beer with you?"

The easy homerun answer is "Oh there's a lot of great breweries here in the state! A lot of great choices while having some squeaky cheese curds." Seriously in 1 sentences I just called out 2 major industries within the state that they're well known for across the nation, beer brewing and the dairy/cheesemaking industry. Like it's so braindead easy to do.

Granted, most likely, you don't have media training. He does, or ar least should have media training and be able to give a cogent answer in front of a camera.

You'd have a point if this were good faith encouragement of civic duty, but it's not, it's a surreptitious attempt to gain control over the mechanisms of power at the expense of everyone else.

I mean if you literally just ignore all of the lyrics except the part where Bruce is nearly screaming "born in the usa" like a lamentation... I guess it's possible.

I'm not even sure Musk would appreciate a good Amontillado.

Bruh Musk is the elite. He's not some hardworking blue collar or even white collar worker. He started so far ahead of the rest of us financially, and just bought his way into everything, he's not some coding genius who built PayPal from scratch, he's not a rocket scientist who worked on the designs for SpaceX, he's an emotionally stunted manchild with too much money and nobody in his circle to tell him no.

Nepotism isn't loyalty to family, its corruption.

Getting lucky on the stock market with the large trust fund your parents gave you isn't exactly what I'd call "earning."

Or "Born in the USA"

Ooh yeah that's another good potential use case too!

At the end of the day the choice fulfills a bunch of roles, probably even beyond just the sound bite splicing challenges and poking fun at conservatives.
