This wasn’t even worth it for the memes.
Hot off the cringey but popular and apparently triggering to the right wing, “White dudes for Harris” zoom that featured Josh Gad, Joe Burrow, and The Dude among other white guys, the Democrats put together a “Latino Men for Kamala” zoom to rally the pochos to the cause. Being totally honest I signed up just so I could creep and get some funny screenshots out of it, but I should have known better. I don’t know what I expected but I thought for sure beloved Gen Z bullying victim Lin Manuel Miranda (aka Tim Kaine in the membrane) would be there. Maybe Anthony Ramos hot off the success of Twisters. Oscar Isaac? Pedro Pascal? Maybe Bad Bunny? Minimo Houston Dynamo’s Hector Herrera?! I dunno, the white guys got Samwise Gamgee would we at least get Blue Beetle Xolo Maridueña?
Ni madre.
