That’s absolutely not true, Graham Platner is running to unseat Susan Collins in Maine with a very “no war but a class war” mentality, and it’s really working to bring people back into the light of reality. It’s a tactic that works, drop the identity politics, focus on the blatant unfairness of our current model of capitalism and try to make working class people’s life better instead of demonizing them for having been taken by propaganda and fear.
I think the point he’s trying to make is that there’s a certain combination of beliefs and personality that make Bernie so enticing to people, and his “successor” isn’t clear. Which… I half-agree with. AOC is a great contender for filling his shoes, if those coal country people aren’t too racist/sexist.
Trump is similar on the other side. Decades of name recognition. He has a charisma that attracts people who could fall for a cult. His nonsense way of speaking lets people fill in the blanks in a way that want to see. When he goes, who do you see as being the face of MAGA? Vance has the personality of a raw potato. Desantis has views virtually identical to Trump, but nobody really likes him.
Yeah, I’ve seen wet blankets with more charisma than those last two. “JD” “Vance” definitely gives off a lot of failson vibes - weirdly, he seems a lot like Uday and Qusay Trump.
And then DeSantis seems he’s always trying to be this fake alpha dickbag with that “take that mask off” stuff being growled at a goddamned KID and stomping around in those high heels of his, LOL.
At least with Taco, many dipshits seem to think this fancy-pants Manhattanite that never worked a day in his life and skipped out on service due to “bone spurs” is not in fact a gigantic pussy, but a real Man’s Man. I just don’t see the slack-jawed yokels going for couch fucker in mascara or the height-challenged guy prancing around in high heels.
But then again, I’ve been wrong before. I thought they’d see right through the guy with a 2 hour hair and makeup routine who was known for decades as a bullshit loud-mouthed con artist…
Dude, he’s filling stadiums with his anti-oligarchy tour. What rock have you been living under?
You misread me. Bernie is cool. But there is no one else. Once he’s gone, that’s it. There’s no group, he’s one man.
