If there is anyone on the planet who gets virtually universal respect, it's fire fighters. To get booed by them is just another example of how much of a piece of shit you are. Like, HUGE turd.
No songs about, "Fuck the firemen, comin' straight from the underground..."
Except they get no respect from the GOP. Look at all the FDNY firefighters that have chronic health issues from working during 9-11 and the GOP refuses to pay for health care. Makes sense they'd get booed.
I never heard of a song called "Fuck the Fire Department".
If you like Firefighters your a SOCIALIST LIBTARD WHO HATES AMERICA!
The right wing in my mom’s town passed a measure to close one of the fire stations (to lower taxes).
Turns out if the fire response times go above a certain threshold, your homeowners insurance goes up by a lot more than the tax cut (I think it saved a couple hundred dollars a year, and added a couple hundred dollars a month to most home insurance in 1/3 of the town).
Once 1/3 of the town realized it, the measures was repealed before the shutdown could happen.
People so stupid it hurts.
“Sounds like we got some fans and some haters. That's okay,” Vance, who’s been dubbed the “negative rizz” candidate by social media users, said.
Walz, a former union member, championed his and Harris’ pro-labor agenda over that of Trump, who said in a conversation with Elon Musk earlier this month that he would fire federal striking workers, prompting the UAW to file NLRB charges against the duo.
The group, which endorsed Joe Biden in 2020, has yet to make an endorsement, though the Harris campaign has scooped up the support of several of the largest labor groups in the country.
Negative rizz is such a fucking insane thing to see in the news. Imagine showing that to someone 20 years ago.
"Vance accused of taking an L. He called cap but was quickly ratio'd"
What does it mean to be ratiod?
Be called out for saying something controversial best I can tell, the term I think originated on Twitter to refer to a comment getting a lot more retweets than likes.
When you make a bold statement but don't get the support from followers that you expected, instead receiving overwhelming negative responses.
fr fr bet no cap fam
also skibidi toilet
Rizz wasn't even a thing 20 years ago. Hell I can't imagine it 5 years ago
As an RPG player that heard Rizz for the first time a while back it kinda just clicked instantly. Im not sure how unique that is
You see the word 'slammed' all of the time currently. This is no different; you're (we're) just old.
Oh no I'm young, I'm just self aware enough to realize that the things I say are pretty weird. Zoomer culture is insane and beautiful and horrible.
Same as it ever was.
Go back and read the slang of days gone by. It's quite funny, actually.
I have no idea what it means. I'm 41 and basically since 2016 the political landscape to me has been nothing but a bunch of rich people telling me they are gonna make things better. No explanation on how it with what. No hard-line messages on topical issues. Just fuckin garbage sound bites and massively overblown/out of context/straight up fabricated quotes.
I didn't get spammed with text messages for the last 6 months telling me all the policy that were gonna get. I didn't get text messages asking what i thought of [insert candidates/party name] actions on whatever. I got 6 months of spam begging for donations. That's it. My preferred party has done nothing but beg me for money via SMS like some desperate pampered chef consultant.
It's just short for charisma, it's nothing new.
I couldn't agree more about the emails though, I paid to join labour here in the uk when they had a leader who seemed to care but all I got for it was endless emails begging for money - I tried to join all the things that said 'have your say' or 'be heard' but none even pretended to be interested or had any form of way for me to give input. The only option I actually found was I could get tickets to a meeting where theoretically at the end I might get a chance to ask a question from the audience...
It really made me aware that they don't actually want to know what people think, either because they have no respect for us or because they know full well that people want things they have no intention of delivering.
We need to move towards having actual digital town squares where people can voice their opinions, personally I want to be able to register my approval or disapproval of policy and politicians changing it if my mind changes - I'm fed up of just being told 'we assume people want this so you'll have to put up with it' or even worse 'we've decided you should want this so you're going to enjoy it!'
I'm out of the loop, what's rizz?
Charisma
Rizz is to charisma as vibes is to vibrations.
Oh... ew.
Yeah, they hate you. That's why they're booing. Maybe consider asking why they hate you and listening to the answer.
It isn't "hating" so much as "understanding who he is as a person"
Boo... Clap... Just whatever makes sense.
“Haters”
What people who have legit criticisms can be labeled.
like he's some fuckin music artist and people don't like his sound or something
who, by comparison, warmly embraced Walz on Wednesday
This seems like weasel words. Did the firefighters not actually warmly embrace Walz but only treated him better than Vance?
The group, which endorsed Joe Biden in 2020, has yet to make an endorsement, though the Harris campaign has scooped up the support of several of the largest labor groups in the country.
Nothing in the article shows their response to Walz other than that. More stellar "journalism"...
Tim Walz was greeted by applause and no boos. Calling his response “Warm” in comparison to Vance’s is perfectly accurate and more than adequate journalism.

Hard not to hate powermad cretins
I hate ~~Walz~~ Vance and love that he got boo'd. That said, I don't understand why everyone is making such a big deal of him calling them "haters". That's literally what that word means. I'm a ~~Walz~~ Vance hater. Many of you are haters. It's a description not a slur.
Edit: Yeah I fucked this one up royally, didn't I lol? Sorry folks.
Walz wasn’t boo’d. JD Vance was
The card says moops. I guess GP lives up to his name.
Aww shit. Thanks lol.
