Well J D Vance has all those awkward pics of him as a young fellow and it hasn't hurt him. He made VP coming from nowhere.
They still get used to try and discredit him all the time. Same with the videos of AOC dancing.
Yeah but both of those are clearly ineffective since both those people won their respective elections.
I get your point but even if elected it can sway public perception of character
Any negative perception of JD Vance is due to his recent behavior and statements, not from his awkward youth.
I wouldn't be surprised if spurious criticisms about an awkward youth and couch fucking have inured him to very real criticism of his governance.
I don't know if that's the best example when the presidential candidate running has literal criminal records against him. We are clearly not in times where "binders full of women" is an election ending quote.
