There have been two times in american history when VP suddenly became an important job, and the worst piece of shit available was in the spot both times.
The two times I was referring to were Benjamin Butler turning down the offer from Lincoln and leaving the spot open to Andrew Johnson who fucked up reconstruction, and Henry Wallace getting ratfucked out of the slot by the DNC in favor of Truman, who started the Cold War.
Bourgeois electoralism is a consequence of conditions. The players in that domain do PR for bourgeois interests. When they are in power and reveal themselves to be apologists, it is useful for us when recruiting disillusioned liberals. AOC’s role is yo sheepdog them back.
this is true. tbf a lot of the time it feels like the point of it is to make people disillusioned and withdraw entirely. so maybe it’s a good thing if they don’t bother with it at all
I actually want this to happen it will be great for radicalization. Many would be taken in, but AOC would deliver a huge disappointment sandwich.
idk i think it’ll be conditions that do that. i mean, everyone knows vice president is the least important job in america

no way that happens under newsom or booker though. maybe if fetterman got it somehow he could have a stroke or disappear or something
Even if it did, AOC is much more Truman than Wallace
oh i was thinking cheney

ah. that makes sense. yeah i guess any way it happens it won’t end good for us.

i just can’t see anyone getting their hopes up for a vice president idk
It’s not like Americans understand even their bourgeois electoral system.
