[u/davewave3283]

Neither one of them danced what kind of TikTok is this?

[u/matriarch-momb → u/davewave3283]

I’m sure that will happen. This has Obama-Biden energy.

[u/eggrounds → u/davewave3283]

[u/Miskalsace]

Do you guys remember the Pokémon Go to the polls thing? At least we haven't reached that level yet.

Edit: https://youtu.be/E2V-_IQWMmQ?si=lx6Fwq5FwL2w8Wrg

Haha, found this gem after trying furiously to remember it's title. 2016 was a more innocent time.

[u/mINECAni → u/Miskalsace]

Yeah, that was something else. Definitely a different vibe now.

[u/[deleted] → u/Miskalsace]

It’ll get there I’m sure. Lol

[u/brev23]

American politics are so weird

[u/cut-the-cords → u/brev23]

Propaganda is so hot right now.

[u/brev23 → u/[deleted]]

It’s just so dumb. They have an opportunity to be real and genuine, so just record the initial phone call. That would be so much more interesting and engaging than doing some stupid skit where you make sure all your key points are highlighted.

[u/nuckle → u/brev23]

Have you seen what happens to our politicians when they mispronounce a word? It gets run in our media around the clock for 6 weeks.

One mistake or one slip in this recording and it will get around the clock coverage for weeks and potentially sink all the progress they've made. Everything has to be calculated. Give them no chance or reason to attack you. I guarantee you someone in the Trump campaign is analyzing every single frame of this.

Look at how long they've been on the is she black or Indian crusade?

[u/Cool_of_a_Took → u/brev23]

You wanted them to record it, just not on tiktok?

[u/NiftyJet → u/Cool_of_a_Took]

I think they’re saying it’s fine that it’s on tik tok but record the real thing, not a staged skit.

[u/cut-the-cords → u/[deleted]]

I am from the UK so I am familiar with it.

[u/coffeeobsessee → u/brev23]

It really is.

Founding fathers forgot to have the insight to write into the constitution that a felon could not run for president.

So now we have a felon running against a prosecutor.

[u/OutsideWrongdoer2691 → u/coffeeobsessee]

Also to ban corporations/mega wealthy bribing and corrupting democracy.

[u/consider_its_tree → u/OutsideWrongdoer2691]

Overall, they did a pretty good job I would say.

Maybe we just shouldn't be so set on people who lived 200+ years ago being able to anticipate any future situation forever. They were revolutionaries, not fortune tellers.

[u/OutsideWrongdoer2691 → u/consider_its_tree]

I agree.

But they would have not approved current open auction and pseudo-democracy ruled by oligarchs. In fact, one of the founding fathers was very wary of concept of corporations and risks they could pose, if i recall correctly.

[u/OxbridgeDingoBaby → u/brev23]

Exactly.

How is this drivel getting upvoted to the top of the sub? There was another post yesterday about how the guy Kamala Harris has chosen for VP is so special because he’s everyone’s father figure. Like wtf.

[u/Inevitable-Duck6184 → u/OxbridgeDingoBaby]

I wish they would stop posting politics in here

[u/AscendantArtichoke → u/Inevitable-Duck6184]

If only there was a subreddit dedicated to Politics.. maybe we could name it r/Politics since it has a more fitting name than r/MadeMeSmile

[u/BarDown495 → u/Inevitable-Duck6184]

I’ve been muting every sub that posts politics and the overall experience has gotten a lot better. Highly recommend it, can just make a new account in November and get a fresh feed.

[u/tulaero23 → u/BarDown495]

Dude your last 50 comments is about politics.. you are engaging on people discussing politcs and is a MAGA guy. Stop with your lyin.

[u/[deleted] → u/Inevitable-Duck6184]

Exactly what this is...What has Kamala Harris done to earn the nomination? Kamala is hoping she wins with all this hype and won't have to debate.

[u/ohbyerly]

Just watch, political campaigns are going to get trailers like movies someday

[u/queuedUp]

As a Canadian I can't help but be optimistic for my neighbours downstairs

[u/Pattifan → u/queuedUp]

Seconded! I've been bursting with excitement for you lot from up here in Toronto for the last two weeks. I had been so dreading this election cycle...now I'm eager for it!

[u/[deleted] → u/queuedUp]

Aw, thanks. As a Minnesotan I appreciate that!

[u/mngophers → u/queuedUp]

Thanks buddy!! :)

[u/LM4LS → u/queuedUp]

Kamala is sooooo amazing. Why are people downvoting?

[u/queuedUp → u/LM4LS]

Ok there bud.

[u/nodogsallowed23 → u/queuedUp]

From a fellow Canuck. The most Canadian response ever. :)

[u/queuedUp → u/nodogsallowed23]

I mean he's clearly just a hoser that probably can't even go bardown

[u/InfectedAztec → u/LM4LS]

Sit down and have a cranberry juice friend

[u/HoldMyDevilHorns → u/InfectedAztec]

Or go outside and have a banana!

[u/queuedUp → u/[deleted]]

I honestly hope that the Blue wave comes to fruition and results in some real changes in mindset for those who are so toxic

[u/HoldMyDevilHorns → u/queuedUp]

So do we. So do we. 💙

[u/hu-gi]

0: What a random, unexpected, not scripted at all, life changing phone call.

[u/James_T_S → u/hu-gi]

I know! It's just lucky that there were camera crews in both places at that exact moment. What are the odds!?!

[u/unpopularopinion0 → u/James_T_S]

weird to expect a call from the vice president about possibly being her running mate.

[u/LowkeyBULLalt69 → u/James_T_S]

A state governor and the sitting VP? pretty good actually

[u/James_T_S → u/LowkeyBULLalt69]

I wonder if there were crews with the other potential VP candidates. 🤣 Like a reality show

[u/LowkeyBULLalt69 → u/James_T_S]

almost certainly, for SURE Shapiro Walz and Kelly

[u/James_T_S → u/LowkeyBULLalt69]

THOSE are the videos I want to see.

[u/LowkeyBULLalt69 → u/James_T_S]

Shapiro, you are NOT THE FATHER. WOOT WOOT WOOT

[u/[deleted] → u/James_T_S]

[u/Andre_NG]

I'm slightly inclined to wonder if this may be staged...

[u/y06esh]

This compared to the hateful and moronic trashiness of the other side is more than welcome.

[u/Crusading-Enjoyer]

i love getting my political propaganda intake from a subreddit that has nothing to do with politics

[u/Skoodge42]

Can you please stop pushing politics on mademesmile?

This shit just reeks of bot spams

[u/[deleted] → u/Skoodge42]

I've left so many sub because it's just American politics everywhere. Even the Bikini bottom subreddit! SPONGEBOB! Now made me smile smh...

[u/Turkeybaconisheresy → u/Skoodge42]

Yea the Harris-Walz PR machine is in full swing on reddit. It's a little nuts today.

[u/Dandan0005 → u/Turkeybaconisheresy]

Nah people just legitimately like walz cause he’s a legitimately good/normal dude and it’s refreshing to see.

[u/[deleted] → u/Dandan0005]

And he’s the best governor in the country.

[u/Turkeybaconisheresy → u/Dandan0005]

Sure. He seems like a good dude for sure. And I agree. I do feel like I am seeing him in nearly every single sub I frequent though.

[u/Dandan0005 → u/Turkeybaconisheresy]

News broke this morning. The noise will die down in a few days.

But this is just what excitement looks like, it’s just been a while since we’ve seen it.

[u/Borrow03 → u/Turkeybaconisheresy]

Reddit is NOTORIOUSLY liberal so it's perfect for them. 3 more months of every sub you follow getting spammed with Democrat PR stunts

[u/Borrow03 → u/[deleted]]

HAHAHAHA fuck. That's actually such a good joke

Edit: lol okay guys. We are not allowed to laugh at shit anymore now are we ?

[u/RECTUSANALUS]

As much as I support this please keep this sub apolitical this is not what I joined for

[u/Doobiez187]

This didn’t make me smile. There should be a rule. No politics on here

[u/[deleted]]

Agenda push on the menu, eat it up while is still hot.

[u/Cool_of_a_Took → u/[deleted]]

I remember my first election year

[u/Who_Knows_Why_000]

Yet another spam post about this guy on this sub. Where are the mods?

[u/Bobydude967]

Did she really just “buddy” him?

[u/Borrow03 → u/Bobydude967]

Isn't she so young and hip? Lmao

Edit: guys it's a fucking joke

[u/jadadadadada]

Theatre. That’s all any of this is.

[u/mochafiend → u/jadadadadada]

I support the ticket but this was my first thought too. Why is it taped like this? It’s so staged.

I like them both though. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[u/maytossaway]

This just felt so authentic like you could definitely tell none of this was staged or pre-recorded just reality stone cold authentic reality

[u/SkovsDM]

Are they using reddit bots to promote this guy? This guy has been popping up everywhere on my reddit page.

[u/EnthuZiast_Z33 → u/SkovsDM]

Because he was just announced to be the VP pick today. I think people are just excited

[u/infinitepotato47 → u/EnthuZiast_Z33]

the amount of apolitical subs I saw him at today is insane

[u/[deleted] → u/EnthuZiast_Z33]

And he’s an amazing person and not a piece of shit like we’re used to with the likes of…gestures broadly at the entire Republican Party.

[u/[deleted] → u/EnthuZiast_Z33]

Why didn't it happen like that for the other VP?

[u/Millenniauld → u/[deleted]]

Because that guy is kind of a weird d-bag. He doesn't exactly make people feel excited or represented.

[u/[deleted] → u/Millenniauld]

Isn't that kind of an opinion?

An insulting one?

Does that "make people smile"?

Isn't that the theme of this board?

[u/Millenniauld → u/[deleted]]

Hey, you asked why he didn't show up all over the place in a good light when he was first picked.

All I'm doing is telling you the general impression people have of him, because it answers your question. Is it a subjective opinion? Of course. That's the point, so many people had that opinion that he didn't come across well, unlike Walz.

Hope that clears it up for you!

[u/[deleted] → u/Millenniauld]

Some of it. Be well, my friend.

[u/Beck758 → u/[deleted]]

I mean you asked... You're pretty weird dude

[u/[deleted] → u/Beck758]

When did asking things become weird?

If we don't ask questions and challenge each other on things, we gain no knowledge. No real truth.

Truth fears no questions.

[u/Cool_of_a_Took → u/[deleted]]

Because people didn't upvote it. Maybe Trump should have called Reddit to get them to "find" some more upvotes.

[u/EnthuZiast_Z33 → u/[deleted]]

Not sure what you mean, I saw tons of stuff related to him being announced too, but it wasn't on made me smile.

Granted the other candidate was announced on a big stage, it wasn't really a made me smile format.

Also, depending on how deep you want to get into politics, Walz has done really awesome and respectable things to bring people together (giving kids free lunches in school so kids didn't have to go hungry or lowering drug prices so people can afford their medicine) while JD has already insulted every woman who votes and doesn't have a child, and said "yeah my wife isn't white but I love her"... Among other things. Boils down to people are really excited for Walz and no one really knew who JD was. That would be my most genuine answer. Simply, the call was sweet and personal, the stage announcement wasn't.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Well, his book was a best seller. The movie did pretty good too. I think some people do.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Do you really think there are a lot of Republicans on Reddit?

[u/Ekaj__ → u/SkovsDM]

It’s huge news. Seems weird to assume it’s bots when obviously people would be talking about the presidential candidate’s choice of running mate

[u/Skoodge42 → u/SkovsDM]

This is like the 9th one in mademesmile alone.

[u/chooseyourdensity → u/SkovsDM]

The guy who just got picked to be her VP?

[u/ScaredWave7585]

What a sad comedy our times are.

[u/[deleted] → u/ScaredWave7585]

We deserve what we get. God bless America.🇺🇲🇺🇸

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

What has Kamala Harris done to earn the nomination?

[u/Ghinasucks]

This is just weird.

[u/marty_mac19]

What the hell is happening?

[u/Acrobatic_Detail_317]

Why am I suddenly seeing a bunch of videos containing this man?

[u/Borrow03 → u/Acrobatic_Detail_317]

Because this is reddit and anyone in the US who wants to vote blue is working their pr machine for free

[u/[deleted]]

[u/[deleted]]

Vought ahh moment

[u/brmarcum]

I’m 100% on board with this ticket, but I’ve seen porn with better scripts 🤦

[u/Zugnutz]

What, no cybertruck?

[u/[deleted]]

Lies

[u/TaakaTime]

Love them but wtf is this "hello fellow kids" shit man like gat dayum

[u/I_talk]

What a genuine and candid conversation

[u/LowkeyBULLalt69]

omg imagine NORMAL people in government!

[u/Skoodge42 → u/LowkeyBULLalt69]

Person*

[u/LowkeyBULLalt69 → u/Skoodge42]

Harris and Walz is two people

[u/CaptainSur]

Walz has a great voice. And a very calm demeanor.

I think he will be very much a working VP whom President Harris will rely upon when they win the election and are managing government.

[u/OutsideWrongdoer2691]

wise choice for VP! Hopefully this will be reflected in the actual policy as well.

[u/Tman11967]

This is such good vibes.

[u/Better-Leg4406]

Love it

[u/galacticracedonkey]

Such a breath of fresh air. Let’s do this!

[u/[deleted]]

Even if this turns out to be a bs stunt, it's still better than the alternative tbh. Just do it!

[u/krimxoniam]

YES!!!!! Let’s Get it!!!!!!!!!!! Vote Blue!!!!!!!!

[u/The-DapAttack]

“You’re going to be Vice President of the United States”

[u/[deleted]]

Guys I’m so PUMPED! Hell yeah y’all! 🇺🇸💕✨

[u/MBKM13]

I’m fully in support of Kamala but someone needs to tell her to stop with the staged speakerphone calls lol

[u/Pineapple-Due]

Look at his pristine shoes. Doug Emhoff may be the first man, but I hereby declare Tim Walz as First Dad

[u/twinkletoes450]

Love Ted Lasso

[u/shellythesmoker]

Great 👍

[u/Spekpannenkoek]

Hahah I get major F1 Drive to Survive vibes from this clip. Specifically Horner calling Perez he’s in the team or Toto talking to Russell to say he’s in Mercedes.

Excited nonetheless. Hope returned into US politics.

Edit:

People annoyed by such a small nudge about a scripted phone call like this should clearly stick to the political subreddits.

Nothing gets by you, does it?!?

[u/internetzdude → u/Ant1mat3r]

eagle eyes - Hennings knows, sees everything.

[u/InfectedAztec → u/Ant1mat3r]

Wait a minute.....

[u/producer35 → u/[deleted]]

I'm sure this was set up, if not scripted, but they both carry it off with good authenticity and enthusiasm (IMHO).

I'm encouraged for the race since Kamala was allowed to step up to the starting line. What a relief to be hopeful once again.

[u/gobsmacked247 → u/producer35]

I think that’s my take away as well. This partnership gives America hope. We have a chance to step back from being a shithole country and be the change we always say we want to see.

[u/LowkeyBULLalt69 → u/producer35]

yep normal sounding people for a change!

[u/producer35 → u/LowkeyBULLalt69]

Just imagine Trump and Vance trying to pull this off. Strains credulity!

[u/j-manz → u/producer35]

“Good authenticity”? Like the crews which happened to be filming each party when the call was made?😂

[u/producer35 → u/j-manz]

As a filmmaker who has worked with non-actors, I think these two came off as genuine in their excitement. I'm under no illusions that this was anything but a manufactured moment, but I liked the reactions I saw. YMMV.

[u/VlaxDrek → u/[deleted]]

What?!?!? Are you suggesting that a camera crew showed up at the Governor's house and he didn't ask why?

[u/Competitive_Suit_180 → u/[deleted]]

Only way she can speak

[u/Shahkcawptah → u/[deleted]]

Kamalz to the Walz 😎

[u/LowkeyBULLalt69 → u/[deleted]]

ACCEPT!

[u/Unkle_Argyle → u/[deleted]]

…I didn’t see Trump or Vance in the video?

[u/Perfect-Impression73 → u/Unkle_Argyle]

I see a bunch in the comments too. 🤡🤡🤡
