It won’t be things as usual in politics from here on out. Phoniness and bullshit are fading, authenticity and trust are ascendant. From el gato malo at boriquagato.substack.com:
how social media just ended legacy media’s political relevance
i am getting deathly sick of traditional political campaigns and paying attention to them. it’s all so contrived and so saccharine and facile as candidates ooze from talking point to talking point always managing to speak in half truths (at best) and somehow always seem to be angling 20 degrees off axis with their answers.
that’s just the game and the game is gross.
what amazes me is that it works.
it amazes me that people tolerate it, that anyone can stand these non-answer answers and never really getting to know a candidate, their capacity, their thought process, their values, or their character in any meaningful fashion.
the fact that candidates can get away with this speaks poorly of we the demos because let’s face it mis amigos, this one is on us.
they do it because they can and if we want better, we’re going to need to demand better. that said, i think maybe better is coming.
let’s look:
as we come into the home stretch of this presidential election, it seems like team harris and team trump have been giving precisely opposite advice to their candidate.
Does she know that Hitler always wore that brown uniform and said he would only take it off after the WAR was won?
It looks like Chairman Mao in drag as well.
Happy happy joy joy didn’t play with people who shop at the grocery and buy gas or pay bills?
Not everyone lives in a bubble like the clueless nose picking I’m helping drama kid useful idiots.
A free Beyonce concert?
You got played as suckers and marks always do.
