All of them are the people who wouldn't get offered coke at illuminati's annual meeting

They are the people snitching to the security at bohemian grove about all the drugs and extramarital affairs happening there

“I mean, being kind of a young guy in Washington, where the average age is probably 60 or 70 – you know, I look at all these people, a lot of them that I’ve looked up to through my life – I’ve always paid attention to politics.

“Then all of the sudden you get invited to, ‘Well, hey, we’re going to have kind of a sexual get together at one of our homes, you should come.’

“I’m like, ‘What did you just ask me to come to?’ And then you realise they are asking you to come to an orgy.”

The Republican also claimed: “You know, some of the people that are leading on the movement to try and remove addiction in our country and then you watch them do, you know, a key bump of cocaine right in front of you and it’s like, ‘Wow, this is wild.’”

Hey cde, could you share the source for that excerpt if you don't mind?

This is totally tangential, but this quote makes me think of that one Phineas and Ferb song.

"It's not a party, it's an intimate get-together!"

"Candace Party! Candace Party!"

Honestly it's because they aren't meant to be likeable for us, they're meant to be likeable for the ruling class. Of course as the ruling class continues to get more and more alienated from the working class, their representatives get further and further from being relatable to the working class.

But my problem is that I doubt even the ruling class likes these guys, it feels like the school bullies picking the bullied kid for some role with responsibility

I think, to some degree, they're concerned that actually likeable politicians are a threat to their control over the political system.

Jesus Fucking Khrist, how could you claim something so controversial

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Just to clarify, this wasn't for jfk but against cia

This. Social rules for chuds/ruling class hogs is completely different from what we see likeable. Even our ethics system is totally alien to the average western prole.

Read 48 laws of power for know-thy-enemy purposes. They pride themselves in being manipulative sleazebags. Literally half of the rules boil down to “trick people, backstab people, and make the world a worse place just because you can.”

Trump was the only one brave enough to party with Epstein. Y'all cowards.

most unlikable representatives

Are they? We hate them cuz we're super hip online communists, but yah talk to normies and a lot of them fucking love these dorks. I still meet Elon simps on the regular. People fucking love Trump and every middle class white liberal woman I know has a shrine to Hillary in their closet.

We're in a bubble, out there in the real world people get duped by the most obvious grifters. Ben Shapiro has fans for Christs sake.

My best mate is the most easily duped person I've ever known.

Honestly, I can ask him any question about current events and he'll trot out the CIA approved story.

Thankfully he does let me explain how he's wrong. He's got a heart of gold

It's the natural selection process.

They can only choose the people who are available, and these cretins are the only ones that want the job.

I think you have to be a ghoul to pursue politics but never recognise the true contradictions of capitalism, so you only end up with the most unlikeable out of touch mfers.

It's a flex

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

i feel like it just furthers peoples' disinterest in everything political -- makes perfect sense

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I'll tell you a secret, we don't like them either. illuminati

It's because they are career politicians. They dedicated their whole lives to this bullshit, of course they are boring and miqueltoast, because what other kind of person would do this?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

But you are choosing from the ruling class. They are a bunch of inbreed removed, maybe what we see is the best they got.
