A politician who tells it like it is? A guy you could, God forbid, have a beer with? A veteran even, but with working class cred and a love of video games. A total unknown on the national level, but beloved by his constituents... You couldn't order a more perfect veep off a menu. It's almost surreal
I gotta say, you write in a very similar way to Anthony Bourdain. The cadence especially. I actually read it in his voice, well done.
It was totally accidental, but that's one one of the finest compliments I've ever been paid. I read Kitchen Confidential at a formative age, so I'm glad to have memorialized him however fleetingly in my dotage.
Wait. He plays videogames?! I'm gonna pokemon-go to the polls next month!
He did a WoW stream recently that blew up in the news
Apparently it was another streamer playing WoW with half the stream as a campaign speech, but broadcast on Kamala’s Twitch channel. Still cool, but it wasn’t him playing.
Couldn't you have just fucking killed me instead
What's even better is that this is really him. Not a character, not adapting to the political race.
Minnesotans are sad to lose him as governor, but he'll be great as VP and definitely qualified to step in if something happened to Harris.
If it helps save democracy, its a sacrifice we're willing to wait. Our bisexual, indigenous lieutenant governor will be fine as his replacement.
Here, here!
I wanna have a beer with Walsh and share a joint with Sanders.
Or maybe visa versa. Idk either way sounds like a good time
I hope tourte right.

“the expansion of Israel and its proxies is an absolute, fundamental necessity for the United States to have the steady leadership there”
The average person you meet down the street has less thirst for blood and would make a better politician.
Watch how quickly all these accounts shut the fuck up about Gaza the second the clock strikes 12:01 Jan 20, 2025. I'm honestly kinda disappointed in the extreme low effort the troll farms are putting in this season. It's like they know Trump is gonna lose, so there's no fun anymore in it.
Hopefully Putin gives them the ole Window March for failing so spectacularly.
Citation needed.
But let's humor your point. That is pretty awful, but what the fuck is the alternative? Voting Trump/Vance who will let Israel dial their genocide up to 11; shit they will probably actively encourage it, if there is votes/power or money in it for them.
I barely have the energy to deal with such objections anymore. You're spot on, and it's unsatisfying, but when you're faced with playing a rigged game or losing everything, the best you can do is ante up and plan your escape.
