A politician who tells it like it is? A guy you could, God forbid, have a beer with? A veteran even, but with working class cred and a love of video games. A total unknown on the national level, but beloved by his constituents… You couldn’t order a more perfect veep off a menu. It’s almost surreal
I gotta say, you write in a very similar way to Anthony Bourdain. The cadence especially. I actually read it in his voice, well done.
It was totally accidental, but that’s one one of the finest compliments I’ve ever been paid. I read Kitchen Confidential at a formative age, so I’m glad to have memorialized him however fleetingly in my dotage.
Didn’t he rape children overseas and that’s why he killed himself? Because you knew it was going to get out?
Nope I was WAY off. Don’t believe anything you hear, I should have looked deeper before accepting it as fact
What’s even better is that this is really him. Not a character, not adapting to the political race.
Minnesotans are sad to lose him as governor, but he’ll be great as VP and definitely qualified to step in if something happened to Harris.
If it helps save democracy, its a sacrifice we’re willing to wait. Our bisexual, indigenous lieutenant governor will be fine as his replacement.
Wait. He plays videogames?! I’m gonna pokemon-go to the polls next month!

“the expansion of Israel and its proxies is an absolute, fundamental necessity for the United States to have the steady leadership there”
The average person you meet down the street has less thirst for blood and would make a better politician.
Citation needed.
But let’s humor your point. That is pretty awful, but what the fuck is the alternative? Voting Trump/Vance who will let Israel dial their genocide up to 11; shit they will probably actively encourage it, if there is votes/power or money in it for them.
Are you even following the conversation? The alternative for a better vice president off a menu is every peasant in the world who isn’t a corrupted authoritarian warmonger. They are not even talking about red vs blue and you bring up the necessity to vote for a party.

I’m gonna humor your point too. Advocating for the expansion of Israel and its proxies as an absolute, fundamental necessity is already dialing the genocide up to 11. Stop with the twisted logic that one choice is necessary because less bad, there’s already a disaster going on
Watch how quickly all these accounts shut the fuck up about Gaza the second the clock strikes 12:01 Jan 20, 2025. I’m honestly kinda disappointed in the extreme low effort the troll farms are putting in this season. It’s like they know Trump is gonna lose, so there’s no fun anymore in it.
Hopefully Putin gives them the ole Window March for failing so spectacularly.
