    I wish I could. I have a friend who is very good at imitating accents, including mine. I can't get rid of my German accent.

    I hope the GOP keeps up with this attack line. It will play well to the MAGA crowd, but will be so distasteful to the rest of the country.

    But even German accents vary. You probably don’t speak the same way to Bavarian audiences the exact same as one from Baden-Württemberg despite speaking German to both.

    Except it's not because they're trying to. It just is what they are.

    I speak how I speak. People in Bavaria would rightly laugh at me if I were to suddenly try to speak Bavarian. And people were right to laugh at Kamala.

    No big deal though.

    Her failed socialist policies are the much bigger issue.

    Theil is super weird too. There are credible stories that he transfused the blood of young men. https://www.inc.com/jeff-bercovici/peter-thiel-young-blood.html

    He financially backed Hulk Hogan's lawsuit against Gawker because Gawker outed him as gay. https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2018/02/hogan-thiel-gawker-trial/554132/. The lawsuit bankrupted Gawker.

    Why would they laugh? Is it because you’re very obviously not Bavarian?

    lol yes they mocked that in Silicon Valley

    I don't know if that is weird. They got him; he got them back. But everyone in tech has known that he is gay forever. No problem.

    Yes, when "Zugereiste" or "Saupreissn" try to speak Bavarian, the locals can detect it immediately, it just makes you look ridiculous.

    As if you were to suddenly speak Ebonics because you are meeting some black people.

    Yeah pretending to be someone to try to promote yourself is weak.

    My understanding, in the weeks prior to Biden's decision to drop out, was that an open primary at the convention would not have been feasible to set up. I'd take the the NY Post's reporting of gossip from an anonymous source with a grain of salt.

    LOL!

    Hence code switching can be off-putting if overdone and performative.



    But it can also be hilarious if overdone but authentic.



    But like you said, code switching and especially not her racial or ethnic identity should be what Trump focuses on. But he will because he is a showman and not able to debate on the policies. And if he did debate the policies he’d stop being a showman and why would ever consider for voting for Trump if he wasn’t a showman.

    You sound like an incel just saying. Maybe you are not. But the shear amount of generations you have of the opposite sex falls in line with the ideology of incels.

    Try harder. I swear you are either the dumbest person here (that’s saying alot) or you are the biggest troll here. I give you the benefit of the doubt and choose the later. It is really pathetic though.

    Case in point: I asked for reference material on her proposed policies, hopefully legit sound bytes. >>IGNORED<<

    Instead, I got a triggered response about her skin color.

    Why would you ask for it?

    Are you going to lie and say you looked into it yourself?

    Do we need to hold your hand?

    Google.com. I understand the site is a SEO mess now but at least it's a starting point. Maybe watch her entire campaign rally speeches.
