Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Why in the world would they have Hillary Clinton speak? She's not a former president and is probably the only person more broadly disliked than Anita Couch.
Fairly or not (and, to be clear, it's largely unfair), Hillary Clinton is still one of the least liked politicians in the country. Visibly tying her to the democratic party and Harris just seems like an unforced error.
It's bad enough Bill Clinton is going to be up there, but as a former two-term president I guess it's hard to argue with. But a roundly disliked former presidential candidate that lost their bid due to arrogance? Who's next, John Kerry? The DNC is filled with idiots.
Who is Anita couch?
Jackin Dacouch Vance
Edit: If you hadn't seen it, there is a picture of him in drag about a decade ago that surfaced. It's been trending with both Anita Couch and Sofa Loren as tags.
The only mention of Anita couch here on lemmy is from you. So hardly tending
You realize I'm not the first person you replied to, to whom you asked "Who is Anita Couch" to, right?
It was also on Threads in response to the daily beast article, posted on r/LGBT, r/politicalhumor, r/djt_uncrnsored, whitepeopletwitter, etc all yesterday on reddit, as well as on x (mostly from @RightWingCope as far ss I know), others used #SofaLoren when posting.
As the picture came out yesterday.....
Yes, it's trending. You not having heard it yet doesn't change that. Next time, you could search for "Anita Couch JD Vance" (replacing with whatever recent shenanigans that come out of the Trump campaign), and you could get the info rather than respond in the way that you did.
As the initial post did not mention JD Vance I did indeed a Google search for Anita Couch and got a lot of furniture as result.
I am here on lemmy because I do not use Reddit. Nor Twitter or Facebook.
Yes, and I said it was JD Vance, and that was the point you could have looked it up yourself rather than give the reply you gave.
I don't use Twitter, Facebook, or Reddit either. I knew they were there because quite a few articles have come out and been updated since Sunday, many of which were linked right here on Lemmy.
i have seen it a dozen times in various comms since yesterday
