If bourgeois democracy is sham anyway, the spectacle could at least be entertaining. "Mr. Christman, you're saying that January 6 should no longer be a national day of remembrance?" "Uh no, miss me with that one. I'm saying that Congress is made entirely of depraved freaks. They do one thing: push the button on the economic thresher that says: meat-grind humans for capital accumulation."

    I know electoralism is silly, especially running for president as a leftist outsider without an already formed support apparatus, but jeez it would be funny to see.

    "You once on a live stream told viewers to 'Kill themselves and everyone around them' before crudely miming a murder-suicide. Do you still advocate for nihilistic murder and political violence?"

    "That was actually before my religious awakening where I understood Communism as an updated form of Gnosticism and that we can find comfort and purpose in collective effort trying to combat the embodiment of Satan, that is Capitalism. So to summarize, no, my views on the subject have changed"

    "You often refer to conservatives and the right-wing as CHUDs, which according to our fact checkers stand for 'Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers'. Do you think such dehumanization of your opponents provides a constructive political discourse?"

    "You are neither hot nor cold and I spit you from my mouth."

    I’m saying that Congress is made entirely of depraved freaks. They do one thing: push the button on the economic thresher that says: meat-grind humans for capital accumulation.

    That's what I've been saying, but when I do it nobody laughs or takes me seriously.

      Gravel was a complete lib who just had unreasonably based foreign policy opinions too, and they were just like "nope, no chance that's getting on stage"

      They own the game, don't play by their rules. They can change any time
