"If confirmed, she would give the Democrats a majority at the FCC that would enable them to impose a radical left-wing agenda, including investment-killing and job-killing so-called net neutrality rules, otherwise known as Obamacare for the Internet" Cruz said.

What

It's just right-wing buzzword scrabble with that guy. No need to even speak in complete sentences, just say a bunch of words that your voters want to demonize, and take home the money.

"Radical" "Obamacare" "Left-wing" Triple word score!

I was honestly nodding my head in agreement until I got the the word investment-killing. Then I realized it was meant to sound bad lol

[-] jettrscga@lemmy.world 59 points 9 months ago

God damn, Cruz will molest talking points into a sentence by any means necessary. It's like he rolls dice each morning to decide which random words he has to slap together.

Drag shows are literally banning gas stoves through an Antifa deep state Obamacare abortion.

Political madlibs except you can't call them that because it has libs in it

Reminds me of the dolphins from South Park who write tv episodes. We already know all the lines and ideas, they just shuffle them now and then to break up the monotony (but will never help small businesses by breaking up a monopoly)

HOLUP You're saying these drag shows are going to force abortions onto everyone in the United States and they plan on INCREASING TAXES!? Thanks Obama.

[-] TheBenCommandments@infosec.pub 42 points 9 months ago

His constituents love Obamacare as long as you call it, “The Affordable Care Act” lol what a nutsack

[-] Countmacula@lemm.ee 38 points 9 months ago

Anything that comes out of his mouth is BS at best.

[-] jigsaw250@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

I don't even know if he actually believes it but rather just wants easily fooled people to believe it.

[-] frododouchebaggins@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

He's pandering to his base. They don't understand Net Neutrality. But they know Obamacare = bad. They are this stupid.

[-] bobman@unilem.org 36 points 9 months ago

It's just saying a bunch of bullshit and hoping that one of the things you say resonates with everyone.

If you don't get them by the first 3 lies, saying 'Obamacare' is guaranteed to rile them up.

As a Canadian I think it's hilarious that anyone thinks Joe Biden is the radical left.

Ted Cruz reminds me of a lot of people, but I hate him more than any of them.

[-] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

I hate Ted Cruz so much.

[-] jvisick@programming.dev 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

No worries, the Democrats will do what the party does best with a majority - pretty much nothing.

Enough to say “see? We’re better than the other guys”, but not enough to even nudge the status quo.

[-] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I wish it was going to be radical left wing. Gimme that socialized internet!

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago

He said "buttery males"

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world -2 points 9 months ago

That sounds... hawt. Republicans make Democrats sound cool.
