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:

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

Congratulations 🎉 · 🎉🥳

"Ford Dodger"? Are you intentionally messing up the make and model of his car? Is this a sort of joke I'm not getting? Ford and Dodge are different car manufacturers and the Dodgers are a baseball team. I dont even know why you're are referring to its make and model (twice) in your post in the first place. I know it doesn't really matter, but it sounds like an old person calling every video game console a "Nintendo Genesis". If that's the goal, kudos.

I didn't get it at first either but it's definitely a clever play on words referring to dodge chargers being driven by reckless drivers, i.e. used to "dodge" other vehicles including fords.

Seems like a stretch of a joke, but aiight.

Maybe, but I appreciate the semi-alliteration between "ford-dod-ger" and "dodge-char-ger". Don't read it like a make/model but as a descriptive term (the syllabic stress changes a bit) and it makes a little more sense.

...and I've analyzed the joke to death now. You're welcome!
