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
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.
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
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

“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.
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.
Are you even following the conversation? The alternative for a better vice president off a menu is every peasant in the world who isn't a corrupted authoritarian warmonger. They are not even talking about red vs blue and you bring up the necessity to vote for a party.

I'm gonna humor your point too. Advocating for the expansion of Israel and its proxies as an absolute, fundamental necessity is already dialing the genocide up to 11. Stop with the twisted logic that one choice is necessary because less bad, there's already a disaster going on
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.
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.
Didn't he rape children overseas and that's why he killed himself? Because you knew it was going to get out?Nope I was WAY off. Don't believe anything you hear, I should have looked deeper before accepting it as fact
You gotta source for that? He literally doesn't have a controversies/scandals page on his wiki.
Couldn't literally be the opposite. His partner Asia Argento, ironically a big proponent in the #metoo movement, got outed by fucking a 17 year old actor on set. Apparently he didn't want her seeing him, despite being open, but after some posts of them together on social he killed himself a few weeks later.
I hope tourte right.
