Americans, who would you rather vote for: a talking teleprompter, or a particularly unappetizing sandwich?

[ShiftingMonke]

The teleprompter is capable of speaking, but there is no guarantee the speech will be easily coherent, understood, or even in English.

The sandwich will occasionally be refrigerated to preserve freshness but it will never fully decompose. Toppings can be added or removed by cash donations to re-election campaign.

Please state the reasons for your decision below.

The Sandwich

The Teleprompter

[Gummy_Cluster]

I'm going with the teleprompter that talks. It could fly across the world to climate summits in Air Force One, along with hundreds of support vehicles and fighter jets, so it could sleep in the audience, while they talk about the existential threat of global cooling/warming/climate change. Someone might accidentally eat the sandwich at the summit. And the teleprompter would know the thing. Sandwiches don't know the thing.

That math checks out. Sandwiches rarely, if ever know things. I've never had a sandwich tell me anything while I was sober.

[Gummy_Cluster]

And if Jerry Nadler spots the sandwich in the crowd? Yeah, now Kamala is the president.

But I know what you mean about talking sandwiches and tequila.

[ShiftingMonke]

I dont think there's a buffet in Nadler's hometown that doesn't have rumble strips in front of it.

[Gummy_Cluster]

LMAO He probably gets frequent flier miles at those paces.

[ShiftingMonke]

"At those paces"? Miss Cluster, I'm sure Mr. Nadler does a great many things.. but "pacing" is not one of them.

[FunkyMonkee]

Ben, The Thing in The Fantastic Four or the Thing in The Addams Family or the Thing the Volkswagen made in the `60's?

[Gummy_Cluster]

No, he calls ahead for a table.

[Gummy_Cluster]

LOL And a forklift.

[Gummy_Cluster]

Thanks for the MHO

I'd take the sandwich and add tasty things that I know would make it more appetizing, and remove whatever there was that I didn't like.

[SnowedIn]

I voted for the teleprompter. The sandwich has just too many issues starting with the fact that you said it was unappetizing.

I can unplug the teleprompter. The sandwich might unplug my other end...

[SnowedIn]

Thank you for MHO!

[FunkyMonkee]

I'll take the sandwich! We've already got the teleprompter and it's done a lousy job!! I got a feeling the sandwich might be able to actually get something done!

[ShiftingMonke]

I have routinely said that I would trust someone as far as I could throw them; I believe I could throw a sandwich father than a teleprompter. By that logic, I would lean towards the Sandwich as well.

[Gummy_Cluster]

[FunkyMonkee]

It can't POSSIBLY do any worse!!

[Gummy_Cluster]

A sandwich wouldn't start WWIII. I heard a radio caller say that if we send troops into Ukraine, China will take Taiwan. I believe it.

[FunkyMonkee]

@Gummy_Cluster I don't think I would doubt it.

[Gummy_Cluster]

I heard a retired general on the news say that if we went to war with China, we would lose badly. I believe it. Canada had one of those flying objects, and they asked the US to shoot it down. There are 195 countries in the world, and they look to us to solve everything. Canada can't shoot down a flying object?

[FunkyMonkee]

@Gummy_Cluster I believe it, too!!

[AviatorTom]

I'll take teh sandwich. If I get hungry, I can always eat it.

[ShiftingMonke]

Pragmatist.

I like it.

[Anonymous]

Teleprompters have not said a thing worth listening to since Obama, so I will take the sandwich.

[FunkyMonkee]

Even then!!
I'd go as far back as Reagan!

[call_me_scar]

The sandwich because fuck why not it can't be worse than what we got now

[exitseven]

the sandwich.

[Hellraiser1984]

The turd sandwich.
