His band was called 'Foss'? Amazing. EDIT: Found elsewhere where he claimed it was called that because it's Icelandic for 'waterfall'. But now I'm thinking that was a cover story.

Isn't this the guy that just said that within a generation white people will be shooting up Asians? I'm not sure how writing off a demographic of people not even born yet is going to go for his campaign. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWQNiiC0AzA
Yang is going to gain steam. Might give Kamala a run for her money. I recommend you check out the Joe Rogan interview.
While it's extremely early (though in most recent elections, the eventual primary winner was at this point in first or second place, more often second), Harris is only polling third (consistently, across polls) and is way behind Biden (first) and Sanders (second, so arguably the most likely nominee).

#63I hope nobody uncovers the naruto fan fiction I wrote in my teens when I run for political office.
You joke about it, but it is kind of scary that some obscure tweet or facebook post one did in their teens might be used against them when running for (whatever) public office...

#65I don’t believe this. The GOP is desperate to discredit him because he puts Texas into play a couple years early. This smells like a weak hit job. I’m not sold as Beto as the candidate but this is a weak meme. 2/10 be best.
He agreed to be interviewed for this, so this would be a pretty poor attempt at a hit job if it was one.

> No one in cDc would talk about O’Rourke until I promised not to publish before the 2018 election. That was OK: I wanted the full story for my book, which spans decades, rather than 1 scoop ahead of a state vote. I offered O’Rourke the same terms. He accepted, and we spoke. (8/10)

#66My initial thought is this is quite provocative in the realm of federal political campaigns. I can imagine some interesting one liners during his future campaign, especially from the opposition, that will likely rile us all up. I enjoyed the story, and if any of it is legitimate and honest insight into O'Rourke's inclinations then I'm interested to see more of his policy proposals. Furthermore, I think the article's…
Unfortunately, he doesn't appear to have any actual policy platform related to the presidential run; at least, the other day when I visited the site I saw only merchandising.

> Voting twice seems like some kind of vote stuffing scheme Sounds like a commitment to do so in the primary and general election both, which is quite legal.
Ah, good point! As an independent I don't participate in primaries typically.

#68He's nice and all, but can we go back to electing Presidents who have had lots of executive and political experience ?
Unfortunately however, he may be too white and male to appease his party's intersectional hierarchy.
