facepalm

Look, I'm not any kind of politics whiz kid, but I'm pretty sure it's not widely considered to be a good idea to write the other guy's ad copy for him.


You have got to be deep in some Very Online ideological bubble to think that all of that sounds bad. The sort of normies who don't spend all their time ranting about politics online are going to listen to that and nod their heads and go "Well, yeah, Marge. Isn't that we elect presidents to do?"

Most voters don't have accounts at political discussion websites where they sign in as "WhoIsJohnGalt" or "SamAdams76" and complain about FDR being almost as bad as Stalin. They just think he's the guy on the dime who won WW2 or something.

This was an hilariously unforced self-own on Marge's part.
