      I definitely would not. Bullshit theatre like that is cringe and a turn off no matter who does it.

        One reason they did this is because Harris worked at McDonald’s in college. Agree though, it’s a… weird photo op

      Legit visiting a McD’s and working with actual customers for awhile? Sure. An entirely staged photo op where nothing of the sort is done? Nah.

      Having said that, I don’t view McD’s any more negatively than I already did for this. It is reasonable IMO for any presidential candidate to put in a stop to wherever. I am pretty doubtful that this particular franchise owner isn’t a Trump supporter, but I bet most of them are.

      Whataboutism and a straw man in the same sentence. Smells like speed running trolling.

      Why the fuck would anyone praise Harris for something like this? Get a fucking grip. We would be lambasting the fucking idiot who came up with such a shitty idea and Harris for being dumb enough to go along with it.

      Because a politician in a suit and apron tOtAlLy screams “I struggle just like you”.

      Ffs, you should delete your comment. What a shit hot take.

        I’ve seen I don’t speak for everyone in this thread.

        But personally I would not publicly critique Harris the same as I’ve critiqued Trump for this public stunt, because it is in my interest as a European to not have him serve a second term.
