I mean, yes, the couch thing is funny, and it's been a while since Democrats have celebrated a good old fashioned nothing burger (something the right does far too often -- some of them are still not over the transvestigation of that one Olympic boxer -- and it's about time we fought fire with fire), but it's kind of run its course, hasn't it? I feel like we're beating a dead horse here.
I sort of agree with you. It's entering "That One Joke" territory.
I think the reason this joke gets so much play is because it annoys the Republicans and it's been a long time since the Democrats have been able to rally around a joke that annoys them.

That and the internet loves a running joke. Lemmy's no exception, what with the beans and the jeans and the stock pic memes 😁
I love the idea of a portmanteau here (and respect the additional pun of “transvest” being in the word itself), but I’d still put forth “transquisition,” as it IMO references its absolute nothing-burger-ness better.

I'm leaning positive on Harris but I'd give Walz my Netflix and Disney+ password.

I’d feel comfortable sharing my Amazon Prime. I don’t think he’d judge my choices.

I think its still funny because the right is very annoyed by it. As long as it still offends and upsets them, it remains funny to me.

Beating the dead horse is the joke
Now I've explained the joke, which makes it funnier.

Sort of like zippers on couch cushions.
Or so I imagine.

I hope so, otherwise we’ll have little racist futons in a few months.

Kamala/Walz memes > Obama/Biden memes?
