I'm still not convinced these people aren't lizards in suits of human flesh.

[Trainbike]

Imagine needing instructions on how to appear to be a real human being that enjoys human things like smiling and cute animals.

politicians being reminded to act "human" in the presence of "humans"

[Piggo]

This is the price of your politicians being boomers

[Deathtrooper]

i wonder if past generations every had to deal with this kind of cringe from the older generations of their time.

Though, this could be the result of how quickly Human technology has been advancing. Making it much more difficult for older generations to understand this type of shit.

I guess a kind of parallel would be the Nixon Kennedy debate where Nixon didn't understand how to come across well on TV

[BepisMax]

Literally this

Some of these are okay, they feel like they did it for fun like the guy at the Goat Farm, the guy posing with James from Monsters Inc, and the Cat one too.
Those are fine, but stuff like Jeremy throwing a snow ball on a balcony, a picture of a red briefcase, lawnmower, the aforementioned Woman caught with a cup of water in her hand is garbage.

The way to get my attention, is to have your instagram not be political in anyway.
Or at the very least, not the main subject.
I don't mind the odd Political posts here and there but if it's constant, and the post just oozes with "pls vote for me" that I can feel it crawling on my skin then I don't want any of that shit.

Just be yourself, not your Political self.
The best way to do that is just to use Instagram as a fun little thing to waste time on, not for political advantages.
If you do it right, then chances are you might be getting some advantages politically without even knowing.

Isn't there a thing in the UK where they ask politicians how much common groceries like bread and milk cost in order to see how down to earth they are? And then like, the PM or something was caught with a cheatsheet?

[smurfy]

Yep: Cameron's cheat sheet on prices of everyday goods

Ed Miliband also got shit for having two kitchens

This is what the people of pre-2016 thought of as a "political scandal". It was a time of innocence and simplicity

[Fulgrim]

Yeah, i remember a story about one mp not understanding what the big deal was when disabled people were having their welfare slashed by £30 a week because "that's what he spends on pre-drinks before a night out" or something like that.
