Andrew Cuomo was the most carbrain candidate.

He doesn't walk.

He doesn't take the subway.

He doesn't bike.

He only travels in his Ford dodge

He has been caught speeding again and again in his Ford dodge:

Cuomo was supported by Wall Street and Car Companies:

You defeated him. And the guy who won the democratic primary doesn't even own a car.

Congratulations 🎉 · 🎉🥳

I don’t think it’s a joke, considering the average lemmy user I think op got confused on car manufacturers 💔

I don't think they did, the make and model is in the headline of one of their links and they take specific issue with this particular vehicle. And it's true, the dodge brand attracts a lot of asshole drivers that weave through traffic. The misnaming is deliberate and tongue-in-cheek.

But it isn’t funny like at all 😭. But yea you might be right.

God the joke was just so flat that it’s making me mad and distracting me from an otherwise good post lol

It's a pun, it's not supposed to be laugh out loud funny. It takes you a second to get it and then you groan and tell the orator to fuck off.

I like it because it will live inside the head of car brains who actually care that much about make and model even though we're all still on the same page and it literally doesn't matter.

Maybe that’s the joke 😂
