1. Huh? Nt

[ExciteBike66]

2. Omg so did I. This guy tooooootally gets me!

[NoveltySocks]

3. Diet?

Faux hillbilly doesn't even drink the real thing.

[haele]

28. I know, diet Mt. Dew is so...IDK, Tech Bro or Nerd?

That's a product typically associated with someone who spends their evenings in front of a screen with either a keyboard or console in hand.

Sorry dude, how would Diet Mt. Dew seem racist? I grew up when it was still Kickapoo Joy Juice...

On edit - for you youngsters, that's a L'l Abner reference. Very culturally incorrect. Along with Pogo, which I loved even more as I became politically aware.
JD isn't old enough to remember when that brand was turned into Mt. Dew, unless his grandma told him about when it tasted better and had more of a kick.

(Schmooooo!)

Haele

[The Unmitigated Gall]

4. Whiney-ass snowflake much, JD? nt

[Wounded Bear]

5. He obviously has me confused with somebody who gives a shit...

[bamagal62]

6. What does that even mean?

[jimfields33]

39. It means in his thoughts that everything done today is racist.

So he’ll just do what he wants. They are deranged.

[SallyHemmings]

56. That was my thought?

[tinymontgomery]

7. Talk about a stupid laugh. n/t

[yardwork]

8. For real?!

[Prairie Gates]

9. What is this fool even yammering about?

And, really, diet Mountain Dew? Not very...XXX-TREME!

[Takket]

10. No that's not racist. It's the hating black people that is racist

Hope that clears it up for you JD.

[DBoon]

11. if he was a real man, he'd drink Red Bull

Mountain Dew is for kids

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

12. Oh STFU Vance

Better to be thought of as stupid than to open your mouth and prove it.

[unblock]

13. "Please clap." Bwahaha!

Aw, Vance himself laughed so the one guy in the audience who laughed wouldn't feel alone. See? Vance is as selfless as Biden!

[ck4829]

14. Meanwhile those racists he pretends that they don't exist are bashing his wife and kids.

[Gaytano70]

15. Vance is just. . .

A younger, slightly better smelling, Steve Bannon.

[NoveltySocks]

17. Idk...

Have any of us actually smelled him?

[TommyT139]

34. Betcha

I bet he smells like Axe body spray because he's not old enough to smell like Old Spice.

[Maru Kitteh]

32. That's not fair,

Vance is quite odious, and may smell just as bad as Steve Bannon.

[madinmaryland]

40. Vance hasn't been drinking a fifth of cheap scotch for 40 years.

[flying_wahini]

52. One??? Please, at least 2 for ol Bannon.

[madinmaryland]

68. Bannon's liver?

[ecstatic]

16. so he's going this route even with an Indian American wife and kids?

WOW!!

And he's bombing worse than tiny d. SMH.

Fucking fake lashes wearing clown.

[LuckyCharms]

18. What the fuck is that asshole talking about?

[newdayneeded]

31. Well, its simple....

Let me break it down for you;

You first drink a can of diet mountain dew, and then dems think you're racist.......or something

[B.See]

69. ..

[Deuxcents]

19. MAGA moron

[Renew Deal]

20. Vance is out of his depth

[demmiblue]

21. JD Vance says he's "pissed off" that he'll no longer get to debate Kamala Harris

Link to tweet

Good lawd, he is so awkward and cringey!

[Walleye]

27. I'm sure she would love to do an informal debate with him. But he's chicken.

[Dulcinea]

47. Maybe he's secretly a masochist.

Kamala Harris would chew him up & spit him out. I'd love to see this yutz debate Pete Buttigieg. He'd get his ass handed to him.

[sop]

80. Maybe he'll get to debate Pete Buttigieg?

That would be must watch tv.

[Mountainguy]

22. Man i love this guy

He sucks so bad it's fun.

[madaboutharry]

23. He is a titanic fraud.

Even his tangent comments reveal he is full of it. In reality, he is insulting the campaign’s own supporters by making the assumption that they drink Mountain Dew and will relate to him drinking it too. He said that because he thinks it’s lowbrow and he wants them to think he is like them.
J.D. Vance’s estimated net worth is $5,000,000. That seems a conservative estimate to me.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

84. As far as I am concerned

He is worthless, ok needs an amount? I think that asshole is worth about $0.04

[madaboutharry]

87. I only mentioned his wealth to shine a light on how big a phony he is.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

89. He's still

Only worth four cents to me.

[Prairie Gates]

92. He drinks diet...not the full sugar version like the rubes

He learned to love it in New Haven. It enhances the flavor of the Frank Pepe.

[dawg]

24. Diet Mountain Dew, baby, New York City ...

Never was there ever a girl so pretty.

Do you think we'll be in love forever? Do you think we'll be in love?

[lame54]

25. The only thing worse than diet soda...

Is J.D. Vance

[Freethinker65]

26. Who is they?

[BoRaGard]

29. Nope

They's call you an a-hole shit-pot stirrer

[Kid Berwyn]

30. Zero calories. Zero personality.

Thank you ,Thiel! Thank you, Putin!

[sakabatou]

33. As Mori Calliope once said to Bijou Koseki, "I don't know what that means!"

[Blue Dawn]

43. So cute....

...while simultaneously being so freakin' hilarious!!

[sakabatou]

63. Go check out the animator's channel if you want

Another channel is H and Mr.H.

[Blue Dawn]

67. Thank you.

I will do that!

[Raven]

35. Well, isn't he pathetic!

[debm55]

57. Maybe they didn't turn the clap lights on or the laugh lights on.

[kimbutgar]

36. Isn't Mountain Dew what white hillbillies and magas drink?

I’m confused by his comment. Is he trying to sound racist against his own race?

[eShirl]

74. I thought it was PC gamers

or was it console gamers?

[beveeheart]

90. For my Democratic gamer 36 yr old grandson, Diet Mountain Dew is his drink of choice.

[betsuni]

97. They believe anti-white racism is a big problem, they're the true victims, system is rigged in favor of non-whites

and minorities have all the advantages, Democrats shower them with free stuff with hard-working white people's taxes.

By drinking Mountain Dew he will seen as rural white and stereotyped as racist when it's really the liberals who are the racists. Or, you know, something like that. It's confusing.

[Dulcinea]

37. Oh JD, bless your heart.

I drink Diet Mountain Dew when I need extra caffeine. Nothing racist about it. If you're trying to troll people, you suck at it.

[Abolishinist]

38. I guess it has to do with this 10+ year-old ad. More of an anti-goat ad IMO.

[Wednesdays]

70. Yeah, EVERYBODY knows that commercial

Especially after Pepsi pulled the ad right away!

[Prairie Gates]

93. He goes for the deep cuts...strictly B-sides in the Zeppelin catalog

[crud]

41. Hey look, that guy is drinking Diet Mt. Dew...he must be a racist...

said no one, ever.

[Bettie]

42. He is so strange

I even asked my son (23) if this has any meaning or if it is just a weird statement.

He says, nope, it's just a weird thing from a weird guy. Then he asked me if I know why he wears so much eyeliner.

[dalton99a]

44. Fucking fraud is clueless

[oasis]

45. That's why he's called J.D: Jocular Dud.

[Retrograde]

46. I'd call him clueless

He may also be racist, but that statement is definitely clueless.

[Sympthsical]

48. I did not think about this implication of Vance's age

Bro's about to go out there making cultural references his audience doesn't understand.

We have our first major ticket candidate whose cultural consciousness is significantly shaped by vines and memes.

My mind is currently blown.

[kacekwl]

49. A middle aged doughboy

shouldn't drink soda it's bad for your health. Guys like you are at risk for diabetes and heart disease

[Montauk6]

50. I blame Ron Howard, Glenn Close, and Netflix

[claudette]

51. What does

that even mean?

[Diamond_Dog]

53. Nothing to see here! What a dud.

Thinks he’s being funny? Go crawl back under your rock, Hillbilly.

[Irish_Dem]

54. His comments are as stupid as Trump's.

And Vance has a law degree from Yale.

[lapfog_1]

55. Actually, it might be racist from maybe 40 years ago.

Mountain Dew ( or Kickapo Joy Juice ) was always sort of a "hillbilly drink" when I was a kid. Associated intentionally with back woods of the Appalachian mountains... and associated with NASCAR ( of course NASCAR started as contests between moonshine drivers in the back woods too ). Almost entirely white people ( poor white trash is what we used to call them ). Very racist if you were of person of color that "didn't know your place" or you didn't like to be called "boy". Haven't been around any of those people or NASCAR events or such for nearly 50 years now, so that might all have changed today.

The only thing I will say about Mountain Dew is... DIET Mountain Dew? Seriously... ewwwww. That shit is horrible.

[RJ_MacReady]

58. huh?

I don't get it...

[moose65]

59. Say what??

Good grief.

I haven't listened to Vance talk much, but he sounds like one of those "educated" men that Republicans just hate! And what is up with his face - looks like he's wearing makeup like Gaetz.

[KentuckyWoman]

60. I don't even understand.

On any level.

[Emile]

61. Where do they pull this stupid shit out of?

Never mind

[hatrack]

62. What?

That doesn't even rise to the level of MAGA-logic.

[jalan48]

64. He's trying to bait us in to making the issue about race and not on the issues affecting all Americans. Project 2025.

[Starry Messenger]

65. He makes Dan Quayle look like a statesman

[Pinback]

77. At least Dan Quayle told Mike Pence he couldn't refuse to certify the electors on Jan. 6.

I will always think of him as a dolt, but he sure made a positive difference there, so I’ll give him some major props for that.

And Vance has said would’ve grabbed the monkey wrench and thrown it right in, letting the House appoint Trump as dictator. So, against all expectations, Vance actually does make Quayle look like a statesman!

[fishwax]

66. you're a racist, JD Vance, but it has nothing to do with diet mountain dew

[wishstar]

71. Slick smooth talking Yale grad, Silicon Valley venture capitalist isn't very convincing

as a wannabe populist "man of the people".

[BlueKota]

72. WTF

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

73. cringe!!!!

[videohead5]

75. He's a complete fraud

He did not grow up in Appalachia. He grew up in a 4-bedroom house in Ohio. His real last name is Bowman.

[Klarkashton]

76. I'm sure they will be calling him an out of touch

Goon with a chud beard that looks like a proud boy. In fact that's the exact kind of victim shit that proud boys rant about.

[PortTack]

78. No...but that stuff will kill ya..so drink a couple everyday...please. I'll send you case or two..what's the address?

[I_UndergroundPanther]

79. Vance is weak

I had 2 ultra (sugar free)monster drinks today.
And I still hate republicans.
My stimulant intake eats twits like you for lunch, Vance

I usually drink one a day. It helps my adhd which I take meds for.

[still-prayin4rain]

81. He's a Trojan Horse, right? Nobody is naturally that unlikeable. nt

[The Magistrate]

82. Boy Ain't Been Around Long Enough Ta Know From Mountain Dew....

[Solly Mack]

83. Didn't some idiot Republican claim Biden would be "jacked up" on Mountain Dew?

Wouldn't that mean Vance is the one "jacked up" on Mountain Dew?

[JI7]

85. He comes off as awkward and cringe

[gay texan]

86. How the hell does that work... n/t

[Metaphorical]

88. Doonesbury has his mascot?

Many years ago, Doonesbury depicted a number of presidents and related celebrities as various shorthand - (GW Bush, for instance, became an asterisk after the questionable 2000 election).

I suspect that JD Vance has just become a can of Diet Mountain Dew.

[DFW]

91. Racist? No. Boring? Yes.

This guy wants to be one heartbeat away from the presidency, and this is the best he's got?

What is the Repubicanese word for "pitiful?"

[Fla Dem]

94. What an utter JERK!

[republianmushroom]

95. With or without the Mountain dew you are a racist. IMO

[Dem4life1234]

96. He's dumb as fuck and annoying.

Where did they find this jackass?
