tbh 99% of US political discourse post-2016 has been “yup we gotta get more racist.”
cursed country, obviously
libs on reddit today were claiming that antifa are a russian plant because they damage property
love to fall for racist cold war propaganda to own the left
feel like pure shit, just want p_k back
King Krule’s “Man Alive!” is really solid
yup, he’s definitely nowhere near as bad as most dnc ghouls. but (in the rare scenario that i’m right lol) if he can successfully convince the party leadership that he’ll sell out, i think he could get the necessary backing.
of course, there’s a good chance the prediction is way off; it’s just a pet theory! i was inspired by an old chapo post that compiled all the times yang said he was “for the spirit of” policies like m4a but didn’t support them.
mark my words, there’s a timeline in which yang gang takes over the democratic party.
yang has positioned himself as a progressive that’s not too radical, an outsider that simps for the establishment. perfect for the party with two faces and two wings. plus there was that rumor about obama liking him, which is practically a sign of divinity.
if aoc (or someone similar) can’t capture whatever remaining “leftist” electoral energy there is (on a national level), i believe that most “progressives” who aren’t terminally online will choose yang - who already endeared himself to bernie stans and tulcels this primary.
yang gang could win the party just like trump did in 2016 - with a cult of personality and outsider rhetoric, but friendly to msnbc and pod save consumers (similar to how suburban boomers, the core of the republican party, love trump)
yang seems like an okay guy, but i don’t see him as a rebel - he’s made peace with the party, already has a speech at the convention. he could be here to stay.
