"Then we high fived" is the new "and then everyone clapped"
The size of the country has nothing to do with how many parties we should have. One political party would be fine or a dozen. It comes down to whether you have a dictatorship of the bourgeois or a dictatorship of the proletariat, but I'm speaking to the choir here.
I've said it before, but Yang strikes me as an op as much as a grift. His campaign was targeting teenage kids too young to vote with silly stuff like Yamg Bucks while saying M4A is bad actually. Seems like it was set up to lure younger people away from the Sanders campaign and socialism more generally. And I'd be suprised if Forward isn't more of the same
Yang heard the line about American excess in having two capitalist parties and decided we're big enough that we deserve three capitalist parties.
Of all the things that never happened last night, this never happened the most.
Extremely big "You know it's real when you get talked about at the barbershop!" energy.
It's 100% an op.
the Forward Party merged with—and thus took a great deal of money and personnel from—the Serve America Movement, which is majority funded by former vice chairman of Philip Morris Charles W. Wall. If anyone thinks a tobacco executive with a history of lying to the public about the health effects of cigarettes
From an Adam Johnson article about it, which also points out that Yang is super unwilling to name the donors to the party
I figured there was some major backer like that. So glad to hear someone else call it an op. Mostly i hear from people that he's either well meaning, which is complete bullshit, or just a grifter, which i think his primary role and interest for involvement.
This spurred me to a line of thinking that lead to "these idiots would accept Crypto donations"
And of course they do lmao
At this point in American history is there even a difference between an op and a grift?
Excellent question. I'd say the main difference is what the people who actually backed this want. Yang is a grifter, but he's being funded as the vehicle for an op to undercut younger peoples rising interest in socialism.
A country this suze should have more than two shitty generic light beers
He may be an op, but he's probably drunk his own koolaid. Lots of people honestly believe dumb shit and some of them have FBI funding.
FBI is to leftists what Russia is to libs and what China is to chuds
more like 25% of the time (as opposed to like, 5% for Russia and 0% for China)
you don't need an FBI to have half the population on stupid takes
Yeah, that sounds about right. I don't think he's the mastermind, just the face
I dunno high fives are super easy to get. You just get someone to agree with you on something then enthusiastically throw your hand up saying "high five to that". Almost everyone will participate.
It's mega nerdy though. I do it with complete self awareness it's nerdy.
And then he received 100% dollars from Albert Einstein. :congratulations:
Same energy as the "I explained the problem with the minimum wage to my 13 year old and he agreed with me, ergo Socialism is destroyed"
At this point he has to find kinds who were too young to remember Americans Elect
