Who exactly attends these rallys? Unemployed?
Lol thank you, who are these people? Is it the retirement communities that will do anything to get out of the center?
They are probably paid to be there. Boom, job market fixed!
Big /S on the job market piece
Ha that tracks. Republican government jobs program for the win! Also /S
I have never attended a political rally. I cannot fathom a reason to ever do that.
See you seem like a sane person. There is no reason to do so…politicians shouldn’t be worshipped and cheered on. Its just bonkers for people that should just be there to represent the people of a country.
Paid shills.
That is not a "pick up" sized kid.
Yea, I'm not going to bother looking into this guy at all, but I immediately thought "this guy can't possibly have kids". Anyone with kids knows that the regular pickups stop before they reach this kids age. I'm not saying no one could or should pick this kid up, I'm just saying that none of the kids in my life that age expect to be picked up with any regularity, and if someone went to pick them up I'd imagine they were extremely close relatives and accustomed to doing so.
I have made it my goal to pick up my kids as long as they want and I am capable. I will train to keep up if possible. I pick them up at least once a day to keep at it. They are turning 6 and 8.
Not just for my health. That's the least of it. It's for them. And for me. Picking them up for a big ole hug is the fuckin best. And I hope it imprints my love for them in their minds.
Not the way he did it.
I'm a short out of shape woman. I can still pick up a kid that size. Can't carry them far but I can.
It's about the heft. You gotta get like this momentum and use your arms in two locations. Around the armpits and the other under the butt.
The other way is if you are going to rest them on your hip. You have them face you directly. Hand under each armpit. Hoist. And again. Get momentum. So there is help pulling them up. And also the kid has to know they need to wrap their legs around your hip.
I guess I dont know for sure if this works for men. As they don't have hips that can stick out like that. ?
Kids can also do this thing I call the noodle. They go all limp. It makes them impossible to pick up the way that guy is doing it. You absolutely have to do the first method I mentioned.
I don't even have kids. I'm an auntie. And I used to babysit when I was younger. Which is why I decided to never have children.
But yeah. The "hoist" or "momentum" is necessary.

I can never get over the fact that americans go out to see their favourite politician talk, wearing all the swag and flags like it's a concert.
What's that?
Obama in Berlin? With 200.000 Germans watching him? Like it's a concert?
With their swag? Crazy Americ.... Germans.
There is a single German flag and it is upsidedown One American flag
Us politics is treated as a sport.
They are taught us vs them from birth. Everything is a competition with someone as an enemy

To be fair, it's mostly the red hat gang.
Another loser Indian Republican. (I'm Indian and tired of brown people thinking they are white and privileged. If I remember correctly, Bobby Jindal said he was white. Another terrible person)
wealthy indians tend to be super conservatives, especially if they are from a rich caste family back in india, the poorers tend to be more democratic.
This guy wants power do badly, so he can pull a Right-Wing Mamdani, and be a big conservative hero.
He tried president, he's trying governor, and if he loses this, I predict he'll try to be mayor of some city next, probably Cleveland. I grew up in Cleveland, they're dumb enough to vote for him.
There already was a right wing Mamdani. It was in Kansas with Gov Sam Brownback. He ushered in the Kansas Experiment. It was a resounding failure.

The epstein class showing off their toys in public now? Ok, enough internet for me today.
Vicious. Brutal.

Who is this man
Vivek Ramaswamy. He is a con-man running for governor of Ohio. He made his fortune by buying a failed alzheimer drug and then lying to investors about its potential in order to jack up the stock price of his company. He is also famous for going on a Christmas day rant, along with Elon Musk, about how entitled and worthless American workers are because we demand things like a living wage and want free time to enjoy things like recreation.
He isn't doing to well in Ohio fortunately.
Yeah being so physically weak that you can’t pick up a child probably doesn’t go over well in “big huge warrior country” places like Ohio lol
Sounds like a pretty stand-up guy other than that /s
He really is a shitty person. He had a moment during the 2016 primaries but was easily eclipsed by Trumps personality. He was suppose to work on DOGE with Elon but got canned after his Christmas day insult pissed off a ton of MAGA's. He's also managed to offend Christians in Ohio, he is a brand of Hindu that believes in a monotheists god but not necessarily a Christian god. He said something like "Jesus Christ isn't THE God he's a god" or something like that and you can imagine how that, along with his hindu-lite religious believes, went over with the Bible crowd.
I'm hoping he keeps screwing up.
I hate him already
Even MAGAs hated him. He recently tried to give a speech to a Red audience, and they booed him out of the room. These minority MAGA candidates think their money and their MAGAness will make MAGA voters colorblind. It won't.
he's crazy and brown, but mostly brown.
There's a reason we haven't seen a single campaign ad showing him or his name in Ohio.

I’ll never forget how he had Ann Coulter on his show and she said the most racist shit right in his face. He just sat there and laughed like it was a joke. Completely spineless turd.
This is the guy who dressed up in an American flag suit that you're talking about.
Holy shit he's actually losing. To a shitty dem sure, but a shitty dem can still be expected to fight against the extreme gerrymandering that's ruined the state I once ~~loved~~ well, called home

Did he go to the Pete Hegseth school of lifting?
Where they build strength by chugging Jack Daniels and doing key stands.
Ramaswamy is trash, yea, but tbf that kid was doing everything they could to be a block of dead weight.
For the love of all that is fucking holy Ohio, please send this dipshit packing.
If they do it'll probably be close.
Who is this?
Vivek Ramaswamy. He's the GOP candidate for governor of Ohio.
Amy Acton is the Democratic candidate.
