Why are they still clinging on to the 'brat' thing?

Being a DNC media consultant is probably the easiest job in the world.
- Imagine if your job was just being barred out in Sephora, writing down slang for use in future campaign slogans
  
  Checking Twitter trending and calling it work. Not bad. Good for those people.
  
  future campaign
  Future campaign, because it is a precondition that the slang must have lost its cultural moment (read completely stripped of meaning by
  ) in order to be used by the campaign
Weird they stopped calling Republicans weird
- You don't understand!!1! Republicans are the greatest threat to democracy but bipartisanship is important and we should put one in the Cabinet!
- Of course, can't keep doing the one thing that actually worked!
- And went straight to "were gonna work with them"
"Running the single tweet of sincere public enthusiasm we've ever received deeper into the ground than our approval numbers IS brat"
They really ruined 'brat'. The damned Demonrats made me a top!
- charli leaned 100% into it, it was cringe from the start
- The artist ruined it herself, didn't Charli XCX tweet that "Kamala Harris is brat"?
I never got whatever the hell this brat thing is. Maybe this is like some astroturfing
voting for the genocidal establishment is the new punk.
Idk. Is this what the "influencers" told them? I really don't know and it comes off as very cringe. Queers for kamala? What the...
more like queers 4 genocide.
- It was literally just marketing for the Charlie xcx album
  
  It's so lame
- And I thought the GOP was
  for embracing being the 4chan party.
The week they rolled out brat and weird was the only time the election felt winnable, ofc they're gonna live in that week forever
the alternative is promising to improve material conditions and nobody believes them any more
- Why did they trap that kid in a green square of agony
  
  they
  I am the Borg and he was assimilated.
Do I have to turn my queer card in if I say brat was kinda overrated? Like I liked a couple songs ok but it did not feel worthy of this level of publicity lol
- I thought it was pretty great, but every time i see shit like this I wish i didn't
- I listened to it once and idk. Kinda meh but also not really made for me either
- I was all about it on release but goddamn I honestly dont like listening to it anymore because of all this. Im normally a real anti-gatekeeping type of person too…
brat summer is over tho.
They do get it was a thing that was meant to come and go, right?
- Summer ever being over feels like it's on the way out itself.
The Biden team told Kamala's team that the 'weird thing' is too negative and they had to drop it. So they did. Now only positive things are allowed, like the 'brat thing' and not talking about price gouging. The Kamala team better listen to Biden's because, you know, Biden is still president and megalomaniacal people who go into politics are in fact petty as fuck and have real power.
- Biden is the only person who beat Trump, so clearly they should listen to his dementia-addled ramblings about how to win.
I'm grilling brat summer forever.
Some serious “fellow kids” material
Really cool and good that one half of the US are fully ok with giving up the ghost on what the west is deep down: nihilistic 4chan edgelords that would gladly watch the world burn for a cheap laugh. The other side are deeply uneserious, incompetent dolts that get off on their own growing irrelevance and proudly self-infantilize.
And the 4chan nihilists are winning.
Pokemon Go to the polls, brat!
I'm vindicated each day that I liked Imaginal Disc way more than brat.
They GOTTA lose this, man
- While the ideal would be Claudia De La Cruz winning the presidency, the least bad thing to happen would be a Trump presidency but the Dems take both chambers of legislature so he can’t do anything.
  EDIT: WHY DID I SAY GLORIA! I MEANT CLAUDIA! I MEANT CLAUDIA! STUPID BRAIN
  
  Gloria De La Cruz
  
  so he can’t do anything.
  Can't do anything that isn't imperialism and the acceptable levels of cruelty on the border, with police in cities, against pro-Palestine protestors, etc, etc.
  They will almost certainly send him a bill that forces colleges to expel pro-Palestine protestors, threatens their funding if they don't clear demonstrations and encampments within hours, classifies anti-zionism, anti-isnt'real activism as hate speech against Jews, and designates anyone against the zionist entity as a terrorist meriting watching by the FBI, extensive searches at airports and immediate termination from any federal job or job with a federal contractor who can be leaned on to fire such people.
  Fact is Democrats are happily building the apparatus of repression under the guise of fighting "Russian disinfo". Shutting down alternative media, arresting people, harassment, and it's only going to get worse, they're going to use it on pro-Palestine factions, the imperialism-skeptical left, etc.
What the fuck even is "brat"? Do they mean like bratty or like bratwurst?
Never mind, don't tell me, it's funnier this way.
- It's their new Midwestern Strategy
This whole brat thing has huge "How do you do, fellow kids" energy. I'm sure the 80 year olds who actually vote are really going to be swayed by it. :brat
brat and it's the same
Indeed it is. That must be why you're somehow going to lose to Trump just as hard as the guy you replaced.
weaponzied cringe
Death to America
It's all they have
What else have they got?
