They want you to emphasize more on name and word calling so people don't headline actual things they did.
In the US politicians embrace the name calling, helps you get away with anything else. Trump makes orange jokes at his rallies and supporters love it as a more recent example.

She didn't compare to a lettuce. She actually lost to a lettuce.
Digestive_Biscuit@feddit.uk · 6 pts · 3y
And the lettuce didn't try to crash the economy. It was miles ahead of her.

Yet another thing she's wrong about
ckempo@feddit.uk · 48 pts · 3y
I thought her being compared to somebody capable of leading the country was a laugh, too.
Free_Radical@kbin.social · 40 pts · 3y
How does she think the lettuce felt?
FlanFlinger@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 3y
Less limp and lifeless than she was
mustyOrange@beehaw.org · 24 pts · 3y
I sure thought it was funny
Griffith@kbin.social · 22 pts · 3y
I completely understand that for her it was not funny at all.
For everyone else, it was hilarious.

Yeah, I’m laughing right now, and everyone knows that denying something is funny just makes it funnier.
The only non-funny thing about this is that I can’t keep lettuce from spoiling in my fridge for a week, dunno what those people did
jaydev@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
Same! I think that was no ordinary lettuce. It probably would have been so qualified to run things over other lettuce. A true leader.

She is only sore because we made her leaf.

"Make like a lettuce and fuck off!"

Imagine all of the failures of your administration, and you take exception to the fact that your shelf date was compared to that of a vegetable.
If you weren't so bad at your job, the comparison wouldn't have been made. Work on it.

I think it's a clever form of deflection.

It was so fecking unfunny.
Lettuce is tasty, healthy and useful. Liz was none of those things. It's a shame we spoiled the good name of lettuce.
PelicanPersuader@beehaw.org · 3 pts · 3y
The only thing thing they have in common is that lettuce helps you take a shit and Liz was shit.
rameez@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 3y
Crashing the economy was not funny.
jerome@kbin.social · 13 pts · 3y
Liz Truss being bad at her job hurts real people.
FlyLikeAMouse@feddit.uk · 10 pts · 3y
She shouldn’t’ve been so bloody lettucey then.
pasci_lei@kbin.social · 9 pts · 3y
Because it was actually very funny.
DeathWearsANecktie@lemmy.fmhy.ml · 9 pts · 3y
It was hilarious. Liz Truss and her policies were puerile.
Jaysyn@kbin.social · 8 pts · 3y
No, it was hilarious.
There simply aren't enough bad things that can happen to Tories.
HumanPenguin@feddit.uk · 6 pts · 3y
Well she is correct. Having a PM that compared unfaverably to a lettuce. Was far from funny and should never have been allowed to happen.
atypicaloddity@kbin.social · 6 pts · 3y
I wouldn't trust her opinion on what's funny.
Timwi@kbin.social · 6 pts · 3y
Sounds like somebody was... not amused.
ten4@kbin.social · 6 pts · 3y
lettuce in her head rent free
KarsicKarl@kbin.social · 6 pts · 3y
Absolutely agree.
No-one ever took the lettuce's feelings into consideration.
Bloonface@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y
It was unfair for the lettuce, which still hasn't recovered.
Emotionally anyway. Career wise, it's doing much better.
Datas_Cat_Spot@startrek.website · 5 pts · 3y
It was though
z500@startrek.website · 3 pts · 3y
It wasn't funny. It was fucking hilarious.
Wigglehard@exploding-heads.com · 5 pts · 3y
Lettuce should really not be insulted this way

StarkillerX42@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 3y
No it wasn't funny. It was EXTREMELY FUNNY. Then it was even funnier when the lettuce won.

Your honour, I disagree.

What about her "astonishing rise to power" ? a fabulous book
TheLazurus@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
I'll be honest, I thought it was funny as hell.
dimspace@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y
There are a bunch of words I would use before funny...
Embarrassing...
Humiliating...
But, Funny too...
AcidOctopus@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y
Yeah, the lettuce deserved better.

It was fucking tragic.
thatwill@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y
The fact that she finds it unfunny makes it even funnier.
It's not surprising she completely lacks a sense of humour, considering she's lacking in many other ways.
ElectronSoup@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
awww, poor baby
the_right_god@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
It was funny, she had mo sense of humor

Just another thing she was wrong about.

Strong words for a person who thought running through a grain field was the naughtiest thing she'd ever done.
kybernetikos@kbin.social · 12 pts · 3y
I think you're thinking of Theresa May. It's easy to mix UK prime minsters up, since they seem to change at a phenomenal rate.

Wrong PM.
