Right, it is only in juxtaposition of the Trump Vance ticket that theirs seems so... idk, righteous? Wholesome? But were this 20 years ago, they'd be pretty normal. It's only with the looming threat of another Trump presidency on the backdrop of what he and the GOP have wrought on modern politics that what should just be normal is so hopeful. But I'd love me some fucking normal right now so I'm gonna go ahead and still be excited about that if you all don't mind?
And JD Vance isn’t really from Appalachia, but Tim Walz doesn’t hang out with Donald Trump, Peter Thiel, and Curtis Yarvin, or degrade women who don’t have kids, and isn’t creepy as fuck, so what’s your point?
Nothing in the article is negative except for a quote from a conservative saying he’s “full of shit”. Got ‘em?
Nothing wrong with being a politician when you've positively contributed in other capacities earlier in life. Career politicians from the start are the problem.
There are always exceptions. Unlike most politicians who start their career by networking in college to accumulate potential donors later, Sanders was on the frontline of the civil rights fight.
The Atlantic falls into the “both sides” trap and every so often throws out one of these af if they need to prove they aren’t biased. It’s Overton window shifting dumb.
The person running for office is a politician? Say it isn't so!
I wonder why this article is being released before the election, rather than later when the cooling of support isn't extremely likely to lead to a strategic disadvantage? 🤔 Oh well, it's probably just a coincidence. 🤷♂️ Definitely no ulterior motives here. 👍
I think the meaning is fairly obvious; an imperfect ally is better than an all-out enemy. If you wanna do politics, you need to learn who you can safely ally with, who your actual friends are, and who will always be your enemy.
Edit: oh wow, look at all those comments on ML. I wonder why this person would object to lesser evil rhetoric favoring the democrats.
