I don’t like how this article hyperbolizes the amount of booing. Compare the moments of booing to the very end with the mix of cheers/jeers where that sounds like the entire audience giving a reaction.
Yes it’s important that jorkin depeanus vance got booed but misrepresenting the level of heckling from the crowd isn’t journalism that respects its readers.
Thanks for taking that hit for the team. No way I was going to watch that but I was certainly skeptical of the claim.
I'm very sorry about this. But every time I read "jorkin depeanus" a picture of the Swedish chef pops into my head
jorkin depeanus vance
Upvoted just for this.
Well, also for excellent critique of the journalistic integrity.
Walking out on to speak to a bunch of Boston firefighters with some weird ass jingoist country bullshit playing: immediate boo
You're JD "Couchfucker" Vance: immediate boo
Your boss a few days before took a shit on the national gravesite of war dead by politicizing the ultimate sacrifice they made: immediate boo.
What a weird group of assholes.
The appropriate intro music when speaking to ANY crowd in Boston is "Shippin' Up to Boston" by the Dropkick Murphys
Fuckin savage caption writing.
[clapping] would have been sufficient but they really wanted to let the hearing impaired feel the awkwardness of the moment.
I'm a union worker and I'm dismayed at the amount of my union brothers who vote for pieces of shit like this. Who buy into their bullshit and actually think that conservatives will help them. Talk about voting against your own interests. If you're in a union, voting for conservatives is just stupid
Union worker myself. I am also baffled by the strong conservative undercurrent in my fellows' views. Don't know how they sustain it.
Bigotry, selfishness, severe lack of intelligence and or basic reasoning skills. I can keep going.
A big part of it is the view that the left "gives money away". Union jobs are typically labor with long hous and their view is that "I work hard for the money I eared and my taxes go to the lazy".
I think that's bullshit obviously, but that is a pretty common sentiment from my experience.
Now that you say that, yeah, I do hear that kinda shit from my older and, ironically, youngest coworkers. I've given up arguing with them.
Please keep arguing with them
If Trump wins i will need to flee the country for my family’s safety. And i would rather not.
Stupidity combined "fuck you, I've got mine."
God, imagine if Biden had backed the railroad unions... Ahh, what might have been.
The stupidity of that decision still amazes me to this day. "Railroad safety and efficacy during the shipping crisis? No! Let the monopolistic railroads regulate themselves, fuck their workers!"
I think it's important to note that if you only read headlines here, you might think there was overwhelming disapproval from the firefighters union. If you get your news from right wing rags, you don't hear the boos, you only hear the cheers. I'd say it was pretty mixed listening to the video, in fact more cheers than jeers. Of course that's all meaningless as we have been digitally editing crowd reactions for years now and news agencies cherry pick what they want you to hear.
The point is, go out and vote. Don't you dare think this race is in the bag, it is a hell of a lot closer than articles like this would make you believe and the actual hatred for the right is WAY less than you might imagine.
JD couch fucker Vance doesn't know how to speak to normal people, what an absolute weirdo.
JD Vance puts mustard on his pizza pass it on
One of Trenton NJ’s specialty pies is a mustard pizza. You won’t believe me but they’re actually good.
“Semper Fi guys,” Vance said, seeming to signpost his background as a Marine to get the hecklers to stop.
"Isn't this a magic incantation that I can invoke anytime to clear me of ill will?"
J.D. Vance might be on a generational run for the worst VP pick of all time.
Remember when being unable to spell “potato” was enough to derail a political career?
He was speaking to a union in Boston. What did he expect?
The man has sex with furniture, thinking will never be his strong suit.
Lay off Vance, everyone! The risk of actually showing how stupid and robotic this guy is is that he might get replaced on the VP candidate slot. He's a terrible choice that's driving people away, but if he gets replaced literally a bowl of soup would be a better choice.
Nah I think a replacement does worse. Not because the replacement would be worse, but it shows insane weakness/ stupidity/ inability to have a coherent strategy on the part of a Trump campaign. It shows that these guys don't know what it takes to win an election; and giving your vote to a team that doesn't know how to win an election is a wasted vote. Its the same as why Biden was struggling; losing charges compound interest because viability is a key component of whether or not people vote for you. If you aren't perceived as viable because of your polling, it bites double.
...so you're suggesting some kind of "replacement theory".... Go on....those dumb dumbs would hate if the meaning of that phrase got flipped. lol
Vance’s team is already attempting to spin his dismal reception, lauding his bravery for stepping into hostile territory.
They can spin it all they want but he wasn't in a gd firefight ffs.
And they're firefighters. They lean conservative. Not as much as cops, but they still lean conservative. Yeah, it was a union, but so is the police union.
I feel like I could do a better job than this guy and I am not a public speaker.
It really is kind of inspirational, It makes me feel better about how normal I am in comparison
Worst place to try and start a dumpster fire.
Public speaking is hard, even for people who aren't massively awkward lickspittle cretins.

Oof. Homeboy has the presence of a used blood boy.
From urban dictionary:
blood boy
A young man who is a healthy specimen (no drinking, smoking, drugs, possibly vegan) and is hired by an tech billionaire to be a source of youthful, healthy blood for him, via regular transfusions.
I had to look it up, but it's wonderfully accurate. Thank you for teaching me a new term.
What a chucklehead.
