        Money. Family connections. They want to get into government. They want a job somewhere in the status quo such as the media.

        Take your pick.

          It's a grift. Family connections are not relevant in this case here unless he's lying in this quote:

          Pavlou’s parents have never been politically active. Both are lifelong Liberal Party voters and are far more conservative than their son, who is also a devotee of US democratic socialist Bernie Sanders. “My dad tells me to get rid of this obsession,” Pavlou says. “He’d like me to get a real job.”

            Oh, I wasn’t even referring to this situation, I was just guessing all the classic reason why someone this young publicly commits to the brainrot to such a degree.

      In Drew's case specifically it is controversial because nobody hires him, nobody interviews him, and if you open up his replies it's mostly people making fun of him.

      The only time he got some media attention was when he called a bomb threat on the Chinese embassy. He's a failson otherwise lol

    Why is Australia trying to influence US elections? This is election fraud, and the president needs to address this immediately by sanctioning Australia.

      It is done in a metaphysical way.

      You know those edgy people which say something stupid only to append "in Minecraft" at the end of the sentence?

      This evolves now to "Metaphysical".

      By the way, I voted for SPD when they were founded. Later KPD. Also I voted for the РСДРП in zarist Russia. I actually voted for many things. Yesterday I also did yoga with a penguin in Belarus. In a metaphysical way. In a metaphysical way, we all are dancing to Have Nagila right now.

    Somehow I don't think dem votescolds would accept me pledging to vote metaphysically but not actually blue no matter who.

      "All straight, white men by nature desire to vote (metaphysically) for Kamala. An indication of this is the delight we take from virtue-signaling online; for even apart its non-utility, this is loved for itself ; and above all others, virtue-signaling on twitter, which some call X. For not only with a view to action, but even when we are not going to do anything, we prefer posting on twitter (we might say) to everything else. The reason is that twitter, most of all social media, brings nothing to light and makes us better able to pretend that there is actually a difference between Democrats and Republicans.
