is it going too far to say that hero-worship of their liberal heroes fills a spot in the liberal brain where religion might usually fit

like, loyalty to the Democratic party seems to be their only real ideal, and they are fanatical about it

there was a time that being a "progressive democrat" meant having the politics of franken, howard dean, and markos and there are people of a certain age who've invested a lot in calling themselves "progressive democrats" who'd really prefer that's still what it means

Beto would be fine as a Texas politician, he seems to be actually popular there and a campaign for governor of Texas doesn't allow him to be used to try to defuse a national movement for change

y'know, until they decide to try running him for president again based on his governor career

iirc he bought the roses from his aunt, and that means im pretty sure the whole crowdfunding stunt was a bailout of a family business that had a bunch unsold product laying around

they have no bench and he's really good at getting a specific set of people to vote for him

those people are coincidentally also very loud and passionate about their opinions

it does. I consume a ton of political media on youtube and elsewhere and I've never gotten a recommendation for him ever. Even after clicking links to his videos here and on Twitter and watching through them I still don't get recommendations.

I'm not sad because he's really annoying and I'm not that interested in watching his content, but it is definitely a sign that he's locked down.

I dunno how much sense it makes for pride to be a happy parade for families to watch corporate floats from finance companies when it's always been a protest but I'm straight so

Only reason I don't like that nickname is that it associates a cool+good militant leftist like MalcolmX with a whitebread grifter like Shawn King.
