This is not bait. I’m seriously not sure why, all of a sudden, these aren’t seriously disqualifying characteristics. In a fucking primary with 8 others.

I mean on the one hand I agree with you, in a primary setting there should be an easy way to get a better candidate That said, if (emphasis on if) this guy is the best chance dems have at taking a seat then unfortunately it might be necessary. The GOP has shown that people don’t care about candidate optics on controversy anymore they just care about rizz or whatever

I’m not confident in the fact that anyone has even taken a look at other candidates. This all feels incredibly vibes-based. He has no track record and barely any plan but he’s bringing in huge endorsements and $5M of donations in a primary

Don’t forget the Trump admin is pushing for even laxer regulations on campaign contributions than what citizens United already got. So in the future things will be even more swayed by who can raise the most money. But I do agree, American politics is no longer about who the best candidate is. It’s about vibes, marketability, etc. we got lucky with Obama actually being a good politician too, but he was the start of the cult of personality shift in politics
