    I'm just tired at this point. This would have made me mad like three years ago but now, it just washes over me. My one solace is the thought that this affect is just an act and he finds playing the "epic sassy gay best friend" minstrel show he's doing to try an appeal to zoomers appropriately humiliating.

      “epic sassy gay best friend”

      Is that even a thing anymore? I thought that kind of stopped being a trope five or six years ago.

    Lmao I want twitter to burn so much because if these ghouls all had to do tiktoks they would be SO fucking bad at it. The hate for the poor pouring off of this fuckhead is so strong.

            Yup, there's a reason only crazy conservatives can do it since they're interfacing directly with the hogs that speak their language. AOC is the exception that makes the rule

      If you want to get elected you have to do whatever dance is tending on TikTok. This is the law now.

    amazing that a guy like this is saying "if you want to get elected, you can't be too polarizing"

    Atleast now r/neoliberal will have a large son who we can correctly say was more cringe than Joshua4Congress.

      Look at this extreme loonytunes Sandersphilia candidate that ran against Boebert last time.

      Mitsch Bush, who moved to Routt County in 1976, was a two-term Routt County Commissioner, then represented Routt County and Eagle County in the State House of Representatives for three terms (2013-2017). While in the House she was chair of the Transportation and Energy Committee and vice chair of Agriculture and Natural Resources. She also served on the Joint House-Senate Water Committee for five years.

      She was a tenured professor at Colorado State University and she also worked on the faculty at Colorado Mountain College, where she taught and did research for 11 years.

    This is such a good way to reach voters. Talk to them like babies. Everyone who has no idea what he is talking about will absolutely love hearing him baby talk. Very solid strategy for replacing an existing politician many hate cause of how annoying and rude she is. The Hilldawg school of elections continues to deliver

      Dude isn't running for Congress, he's chasing clout. He'll keep posting this shit over and over again, lose in a landslide, personally threaten the life of AOC for ruining his political campaign, and then start running ads for Doritos on all of his followers a day after the election is over.

      I met a trans guy who was a true Hillary ghoul - always ranting on and on about Bernie bros and such. His family was both wealthy and accepting of his identity, which certainly had an impact on the way he viewed being trans in America. For some people LGBT+ rights are about liberation for all, but for a lot of people it's just about ending their own personal oppression. I think this is likely true of any liberatory movement, unfortunately.

    Stuff like this makes you realize how many years have passed in your lifetime since you first started following politics. This kind of thing would have had me fuming at 18 or 20. Now I just kind of roll my eyes because everything he's said has been said by someone else for decades.

    At least it's honest and leaves no room for grifters to come in and say "oh he's actually progressive and we can drag him left" 🤷‍♀️

      I tried reading a little about his platform and it reads like just a regular Business type right winger draped with his gay identity. (He is running as a D too) Lol just lol

      My nonpartisan policies are rooted in values, not politics: lean government, fair treatment, hard work, and no bulls**t.

      🤝 Small government The government can barely get out of bed in the morning. Why should it tell us what to own and how to care for our own bodies?

          "I am available to sleep with your husbands" must be the message. I accept no other explanation.

          wait is the "i'm a bull" isn't about the stock market?

          please don't tell me politicians are going to start calling each other c*cks, and bulls?

    democrats: "we need to win"

    also democrats: yeah lets go for a another slightly different shade of corporate bootlicker instead of even pretending to grapple with the economic issues of the district
