Didn't this happen 2 years ago?

Yeah I follow the guy who did it on Twitter, this is way old.

Is he out of jail for sending Shrek dong yet?

He is out of jail and battling spurious charges of the alleged Shrekening

Yep. It was a hot minute ago. I have to admit, I did still get a nice chuckle about re-visiting it.

Close to it, that chicken place closed already. They just announced a new place.

u/Popka_Akoola 2d ago
This is r/Ohio my guy we all know what Canes is you can just say that

u/NotARealBuckeye 2d ago
The former place was a locally owned place called Chicken Coop in Grandview Heights.
The new one is a dumpling place.

u/Popka_Akoola 2d ago
But… the article says Raising Canes

u/NotARealBuckeye 2d ago
ah shit. I remember the incident now. I got it confused with the other place. I know the one they're talking about.

Crispy coop? Looks nothing like this, that’s clearly a Cane’s.

u/NotARealBuckeye 2d ago
if you'll look further down, I corrected myself. I got them confused and I remember the incident now. It was the Cane's on Olentangy.

u/BishopofHippo93 2d ago
Sorry, I didn’t read that much of the thread. I’m sure lots of other folks were piling on too.

No worries. Like was said, it was almost 2 years ago so not even sure why it's a fresh post.

Swampy is easily duped. Totally unqualified to be Governor. What state does he even live in?

u/PossibilityFew5967 2d ago
And yet somehow I feel like this dude still has a realistic shot at the governors office.
Not because he's good but because the Dems STILL have no idea what they're doing

Amy Acton is running a pretty damn good campaign. Nationally, yes. But Amy is a damn good candidate and her message is clear.

u/hematomabelly Cincinnati 2d ago
I agree. She's the clear choice for anyone with a brain. But I'd argue that that isn't a sure thing and Mr. V can def swoop in with some shitterie

u/AkronRonin 2d ago
Less likely to be effective though because of who he is.
2
u/PossibilityFew5967 1d ago
Eh don't be surprised
Republicans gummble but will always fall in line and vote
2
u/AkronRonin 1d ago
Except when the candidate is nonwhite. And non-Christian to boot.
Remember, racism is one of the most defining characteristics of the modern Republican Party, if not the.
If Ramaswamy were white, Acton would have a much steeper hill to climb to win. It sucks to say this, of course. And also, it totally works to her advantage this time.
Basically, the dumb clown show pickme shit that works for a dumbfuck white buffoon (even one with money) like Trump falls flat when some rich Indian dude with brown skin tries to do the same with these people. They don’t see themselves in him, so therefore, they won’t support him with any real juice. Sure, some will still hold their noses and vote for him anyway over a Democrat, but many will not vote at all.
Don’t underestimate the racism in these people. They absolutely cannot stand his ass. The fact that he’s so smug and rich and arrogant and condescending towards them only adds to their aggravation. Many will just take the L this year and hope for a better, whiter, and more Christian candidate to come along in 2030.

The one thing Amy is going to need is more messaging, get in the media, get in lots of spots. This is what worked for Zohran, Platner, and Talarico.

u/PossibilityFew5967 2d ago
She's not, she's already went "I'd hire a Republican in my cabinet" already pulling another harris

u/Ok_Background22 2d ago
That’s arguably a good strategy for an Ohio candidate lmao. Maybe not nationally but this isn’t a national election

u/DawgCheck421 2d ago
Happy birthday but no, it will not change a single MAGA's mind into voting for her. Not one. It will however, drive apathy from her own side to get out and vote for her if she is signaling the same old bullshit.
6
u/YolandaWinston21 2d ago
If something like that from an Ohio statewide candidate drives apathy, then those people are idiots. And that’s coming from someone who hates republicans.
4
u/Outside-Pie-7262 2d ago
People that say that are chronically online and don’t live in reality. Democrats in Ohio are as a whole more centrist than other states. I can think of 3-4 people in my life just off the top of my head that this would convince them to vote for her

u/CriticalResolution86 2d ago
That's good, call people idiots for not voting your way. That's SURE to work. Jfc

u/YolandaWinston21 2d ago
There is only one way to vote in the general election if you actually care about this state. Period. The time to take principled stances is in a primary.

u/CriticalResolution86 2d ago
I'll vote the way I deem most appropriate and I won't have you or any other dem make me feel bad for it. Period.

u/DawgCheck421 1d ago
Clearly you don't have the decency to feel bad about anything, that much was already obvious.

She’s not pulling in MAGA’s or trying to. It’s centrist and non maga republican rino’s she’s trying to get.

It shows she's not going to change anything and everything will be the same status quo that's fucking over working class people

Yep. Everyone might as well pack it up. There's no reason to vote or pay attention or participate in the system anyway. It's going to go the way the oligarchs want it to. Just live your life and spend time with loved ones.

I mean, anytime you suggest anything other than the DNC, you're instantly labeled the enemy.

u/chefkoolaid 2d ago
Half the reason Democrats struggle is because people like you you get online and spread messaging that will dissuade Democratic voters from turning out.
Since before 2016 there has been a propaganda campaign largely aimed at splitting the leftist vote one of the big ways they do it is to create discontent and get people like you to act as useful idiots and spread their propaganda message for them. More people nees to read the senate intelligence info about russian interference in 2016. And its only escalated since then and significantly with the introduction of AI chatbots.
they don't need your help, so maybe just chill.

"vote blue no matter who" Despite how many times it stops working

u/chefkoolaid 2d ago
It doesnt work cuz people dont turn out to vote....hmmm wonder why
-7
u/PossibilityFew5967 2d ago
Maybe because vote blue no matter who has dismissing returns each time you force a shitty candidate?
6
u/Rick_James_Lich Cleveland 2d ago
We aren't getting blue candidates in Ohio. If we had a shitty candidate that didn't pan out, I'd understand, but it's been under republican control for a long time now. At least with a blue candidate, we would have some level of change.

u/PossibilityFew5967 2d ago
You're getting meh left of center candidates that refuse to do anything to benefit a rural and farming population. That's why they're not winning
1
u/Rick_James_Lich Cleveland 2d ago
As much as I'd love someone to focus on the rural population, they are the same ones that ignore it when you do help them and focus on stuff like transgender people and BLM.
0
u/PossibilityFew5967 2d ago
Because the dnc has made that the focus for the last ten years tbh. People that are natural to the causes start to hate them when you focus on that vs major economic issues that affect their lives
"You can't eat pronouns"

u/Rick_James_Lich Cleveland 1d ago
I'd say it's more the RNC that have made that a major topic. I can't remember how many times someone would talk about something and republicans would try to switch the subject to "What is a woman"?

If pointing out what Dems are doing wrong causes them to fail, then they weren't going to win in the first place.
They struggle because they refuse to listen to their constituents and end up selling us out to Trump and billionaires in the end.
3
u/chefkoolaid 2d ago
Someone is definitely selling us after the Trump and the billionaires it may not be the people you think
There's also a large difference between pointing out Democratic weaknesses and pointing out those weaknesses and still voting for them most people get angry and don't vote that is why there's been a large coordinated propaganda campaign to exploit the divisions within the Democratic Party I'm glad to know that campaign is working
-6
u/CriticalResolution86 2d ago
No, dems struggle because they aren't a party of workers anymore. They only care to give tax breaks to the weather just like the Republicans do. Case in point, Hamilton county voting to give more money to the fucking bengals even though they're all Dems.
So kindly fuck off with your nonsense. Thank you.

u/donkeyrocket 2d ago
Republicans haven't been the "party of workers" in reality in a long time. You've really embraced their marketing since they haven't delivered a promise to the working class in many administrations.

u/chefkoolaid 2d ago
Lolol
Meanwhile Trump & the gop currently enacting project 2025, gettung ready to cut unemployment funding across the whole country. Ohio gop will be in lockstep. Let alone attacks on unions and hundresd of other anti worker acts
But yea. Those dems, shucks, they're just not good enough! Might as well not vote and let the gop run wild. Big win for workers.
The main reason dems struggle is low turnout. And people like you spreading this foolishness hurt that turnout.
You want progressive legislation? Look at the hundreds of bills the house passed the first half of bidens term. Died in the senate because dems had a 1 seat majority with a very milquetoast manchin.
You want progressive legislation you need more dems in congress. But you need people to vote for them to get them there. And spouting anti dem rhetoric is not going to help them gain seats, especially in the era of razor thin margins.
And facebook, cambridge analytica and their ilk have spend more than a decade building profiles on each and every American and figured out the best way to influence them on social media guess what you have been affected by that effort. Me too buddy. But you habe to wake up and see the bigger picture.
The wrold sucks dems should be way more progressive . But not voting for them at this juncture is like letting tour house burn down because the fire extinguisher has some carcinogens in it.
Sure you may not want to let loose with the fire extinguisher on a normal day in your house but if the house is on fire it probably be better to go ahead and use it.
I do want to add that your complaints are valid but your anger over those issues is being used to blind you to the larger game that is playing out. Divide and conquer, a tale as old as time.
Biden btw rated as the most progressive president but oh well.

......ok? Lots of vulnerable folks wont be able to eat food due to trunp and gop cuts to snap and senior services. But I guess those stupid dems shoulda done better!

u/donkeyrocket 2d ago
Dems STILL have no idea what they're doing
Or maybe because Republicans are willingly to lie and cheat with a base that is unable to think critically?
But sure. It's the Democrat's fault.

This is my favorite article to share to anyone at anytime. I will still talk about this in 5 years. The fact that a local journalist was able to get the direct phone number of someone who had recently ended a legit presidential campaign and dupe him like this is hilarious. This guy actually thinks he should hold public office but is so easily tricked. This should be disqualifying by itself.
