When Trump ran for president he used controversy after controversy to get free advertising, the internet and television could not stop paying attention to him, the amount of time that was simply spent talking about Trump dwarfed the amount of time that was spent talking about other presidential candidates. Journalists and social media platforms have an obligation to not platform Kanye like they did Trump. Every article, every late night show joke, every single mention of him is only going to serve as free advertising for his campaign.

I know electoralism is a fuck, but please on the ghost of Marx anybody but fucking Kanye!

    It does seem like the media needs at least one stupid loud asshole to constantly talk about and right now Kanye and Musk have filled their Trump-sized hole.

    I'm guessing the CIA would probably just invite Kanye to their Minecraft server before actually allowing him to win though. Say what you will about Kanye, but he would be much more difficult to control than Trump.
