They're really trying to couch the narrative.

They could have memed it to hell and back with stuff like "I did not have a sexual relationship with that furniture mr. Clinton" or "only inanimate thing im horny for is democracy" but they had to go full serious damage control mode. Like, if they told us there are no aliens invading and put soldiers in the streets we would look out for ufos. What did they think they were going to gain by that kind of response? Completely detached from the ether, they are.

Streisand'd the narrative wonderfully

He still hasn't denied it!

If you're not gonna talk about it, just don't talk about it. This counts as talking about it.

[–] InternetUser2012 12 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I don't blame them. You don't want Vance to lose his concentration and start fantasizing about couches.

What happens in the couch, stays in the couch. But hey, loveseats got that name for a reason.

They don't kiss and tell! /wink

A lot of people are talking about couches and other sexy furniture.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 month ago

Don't wanna discuss it huh? So you've got something to hide about it?

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"..because now we fucking LOVE SEATS, y'all!!!"

The pig fucker strategy happened by accident for the Democrats. Thanks goodness for the tik tokr that started that. When Walz cracked that joke in his first speech as VP candidate it clearly upset Vance.

[–] 58008@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I heard he has a secret nest of tables with his mistress.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

How dare you talk about his ottomans that way!

[–] chemicalprophet@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

Technically, they’re talking about it!

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

This is just too much. Ha ha ha.

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

To the tune of “We don’t talk about Bruno”

[–] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago

Not evading the couch allegations.
