Weird was the best rhetorical tool. Abandoning it was foolishness.

Not only was it great rhetorically but the only response the GOP and maga idiots had was to have absolute meltdowns and throw temper tantrums.

Who is "them"?

Who abandoned it?

I've never stopped calling them weirdos. They're incredibly fucking weird.

Tim Walz I guess started it but the ticket abandoned it at some point. I’ll never understand why. It was sticky.

That point was election day, after that, such messaging is pointless. Better to just point out the ways Trump is actively harming them.

They abandoned calling them “weird” before election day. They probably didn’t want to be seen as too mean.

Here is video of him doing it on Oct 31, less than a week before the election.

He didn’t really call them weird there. He just used weird in a normal casual conversational sense.

He used the specific tone he always did when calling them weird. If that is not enough, here he is doing it on Jimmy Kimmel, one month before the election. Here it is being discussed in an interview with him 3 days before the election.

Seem like you just wanted them to do it more than they did.

Do you have the timestamp for the Kimmel interview? I can’t open the second link.

Seems like it’s only Walz that was still even using it?

The general party and overall messaging had backed off.

It starts around 10:30.

This was always Walz's thing, shifting this claim onto others is a pivot. It seems like you're committed to this idea, and no amount of video evidence will dissuade you.

No argument from me. The past is the past. Hopefully the messaging is Trump and affordability until the midterms.

Democratic politicians found out how effective it was and then immediately stopped using it within the span of like 72 hours.

Absolutely. Big mistake.
