I dont know what 'the couch' is and they don't explain it. Also they just say 'bed wetting' and don't explain that. Fucking gold!!

    "losing to the couch" = people not voting at all instead of voting for Genocide Joe

    "Bed-wetting" = ineffectual whining

        I’ve had similar experiences with Fox News. All I can say is that their boomer (age cohort or mindset) audience may get these terms more readily than others. For one article I think the headline had something like “100 grand” instead of “$100,000”

        Bed-wetting is pretty much only used for the dems.

        I never heard "losing to the couch". It might be the phrasing of a particular aide who was anonymous but wanted people "in the know" to know they said it.

      Do you think you just fell off the hot couch? No, you exist within a hell world all around you.

      Are we sure bed wetting doesn't equal an 89 year old man having trouble holding it through the night?

      Losing to the couch = continuing to sit on the couch after you've soiled it

      Biden probably does have age appropriate difficulty with incontinence. He probably wears adult overnight diapers

    "bet wetting" is when he pisses on a mattress for fun. not even while asleep or anything, he just does it because he wants to and nobody will stop the president

        imagine signing up for special forces thinking you'll be a "high speed operator" or whatever but your job ends up being bringing out a shop vac at high speed to clean up after joe

    Do you have any idea how hard it is to clean old man piss out of a couch cushion? They have White House interns working around the clock to get the smell out each day before Joe's naps at 10, 1 and 3. He is extremely sleepy and his bladder retention has seen better days.

      "Generic unnamed sofa" would beat harris by 10 points if you slapped a "I'm a democrat" sticker on it

          Or it would if they hadn't drank too much cheap booze the night before and had to sleep it off and then not really feel like going anywhere today.

          But if you're going to go vote can you get them a pack of camel blues and they'll pay you back when they get paid on Wednesday?

    I like to imagine that the couch is just a really nice, comfy couch and the dem establishment is so unpopular that they're considering going for "comfy couch" as Biden's running mate in order to try and boost his poll numbers.

    Considering how many incontinence related ads there are on cable news, this is very confusing language.
