most politicians use it as a hammer - John uses it as a violin. I do not like populists and many politicians that use social media it is just a "ME, ME ME!" machine. John I believe is the golden standard on how to use social media. Oh and I love President Biden's social media. Just the facts but John brings the "funny" in as well.

Or maybe down home Cajun, but nope, a fricken veggie tray! 🤨 Wait until he finds out, most folks make Hidden Valley Ranch Dip to go with, and salsa, guacamole on side. 🤣🤣🤣

Not disgustingly dripping all over yourself and your host's flooring. Oz just needs to film his commercials from his mansion in NJ, and let PA voters decide. Gotta be a fancy imaginary store there he can exploit. 😆 I would love to see after every Oz ad, his congressional testimony, admitting his pills were medicine show snake oil.

his crudites are a lesson in how not to serve his veggie sticks and slices.

..... the Oz vs Fetterman .dispute, exchange about crudites, so...can someone explain what OZ said about raw vegetable platters that was untoward, inappropriate or insulting to voters, people who buy crudites bc if it's a bad thing ..him being a "Dr " and all--best not buy one bc was thinking of picking one up for my niece's baby shower...didn't want to go empty-handed, maybe get a fruit platter instead.

Anyway in the meantime..I'll search see what I find ..this is second post I've read that I have no idea wtf is going on.



Note: love the romantic languages so so ..passionate; a fancy little word for a simple veggie platter...

French crudités, pronounced kroo-dee-teh, are simply raw vegetables (sliced or whole), arranged neatly on a platter or board, and typically served with a sauce for dipping

He decided he could best relate to PA voters by purchasing a crudite. Many (most) of us had to look it up. It’s a veggie tray. He also bought salsa to go with the veggies (weird) and talked about getting a margarita to go with it.

He MAY have mispronounced the store’s name. No one knew right away which store he was referring to.

He also misread the prices.

Many of us concluded that he had never been in a grocery store in his life.

Oz is paying people to do social media and make campaign ads for him. But what he's actually doing is paying to make himself look bad. He's cutting commercials for his opponent.
