I think it’s £500 in the UK to stand for parliament.

Sucks that Lord Buckethead didn’t win

Perhaps the outcome we deserve?

We being the United States at large totally deserve it. A ridiculous celebrity candidacy derailing the doddering old establishment candidacy that got rammed down our throats by the wealthy elites in order to hand the election to the hugely racist fascistic McDonalds-guzzling right wing celebrity who somehow already won once?
What could possibly sum up American culture better than that?

I’d agree if he won the popular vote
I’m not saying I want the outcome we deserve, obviously. But we’re an incredibly selfish, apathetic society. We deserve whatever we get.
It being remotely close means we deserved it. And now the reckoning has come for all of that anti reality shit we tolerated in our culture. We were in denial because it was good for us personally. I was a full bore full throated moderate before HRC lost. I was a little more woke on some stuff maybe, but I didn’t even get credit for that because any edge I had was purely from personal experience and having actually studied history.
Like we lost to that dude. We deserve this. All of this. We did this more than he did TBH. And you know what? If we had won the country would have just kept sleep walking toward a cliff for four more years… and maybe COVID wouldn’t have blown up the world. But something would have eventually. We’ve been living in a bubble for a long time and whatever comes in the popping we deserve. It’s not the pins fault the balloon has a lot of air in it.
Good. Tucker’s playing with fire. His audience is almost all Trump leaning. If he wants to tell them Kanye West is great and give them something to consider at the ballot box, well that’s fine by me.
They love the black Republican because they’re “one of the good ones” . It’s the seemingly mythical black friend they bring up to deny their racism.
I suppose FOX knows that their video clips eventually get to everyone. If they can somehow get Biden supporters to vote for Kanye them that’s fine. They know their deplorables are on hook, line and sinker for Trump no matter what they say.
Lindsey said she was shopping near Holton and Capitol when she was approached first by a woman then by a man to sign her name.
“She said that it was for funding for the community and a couple days later I was contacted by the Democratic Party to tell me the petition that I signed was actually for Kanye West,” Lindsey said.
Lindsey, who is a black woman, said she trusted the volunteer and didn’t read the fine print on the sheet she was signing.
“It’s how she approached me. She was a middle-aged black woman. She said ‘Hey, can we get you to sign this to get funding for the community?’ Like I said, there is so much is going on now with COVID and people need help. So that was me trusting her,” Lindsey said.
Tucker is probably trying to target the Trump>Biden voters. The dumb Republicans who are smart enough to not vote for Trump a second time but are looking for any reason to not vote Biden.

You know how Rs still get like 10% of black voters? Yeah, those are the potential Kanye voters… Those and starfuckers who weren’t going to vote before anyway and most likely still won’t.
Can you imagine thinking so little of black people that you believe they’d vote for Kanye over Biden because he’s a rapper?
Kanye used to be one of the coolest people out there who would be at the best parties, hanging with the coolest people. He now spends his free time with Jared Kushner.

Let’s stop dunking on Kanye. Guy is profoundly mentally ill. Because he’s so profoundly mentally ill it’s hard to know what to blame him for and what not to blame him for… which is hard because he’s SUCH an asshole.
Like when you get into how he’s viewed inside his own industry the depths of his assholery really come into focus.
