    I don’t understand, I’ve told them that I’m hip, I’ve told them that I care about their issues, I’ve told them that I’m a better choice, and they just aren’t listening. They just keep asking questions, and demanding action, and insisting on something or other, I don’t really know because I wasn’t paying attention.

    Maybe I should learn one of those meme dances.

      Woah woah there on the meme dances, Mr. President. We don’t need to love or even like you, but we can’t have you defending democracy with a broken hip. We need our centrist, gaffe machine to hang in there, for a few more years, to keep this country from falling to a dollar store dictator. Pretty please.

      Vote. Next time for a progressive.

    He needs to take Dark Brandon mainstream. Anti-hero is so hot right now.

    “Brandon in my veins” has a flair to it.

      That’s right, a good campaign strategy I think would be to tout his accomplishments such as taking antitrust seriously, a major investment in public infrastructure and instituting a minimum corporate tax level, but under a veil of irony such as through a “Dark Brandon” character so that Democrat business interests don’t get upset.

    I mean, his admin could actually flex some of that executive branch power that the last 5-6 administrations have grabbed for and implement progressive policies. But hey, why do that when he can invite tiktok influencers to the White House for free?

      What kind of policies do you mean? Lowering insulin costs? Student debt relief? Protecting gay marriage? Reduced-scheduling weed? Major action against climate change?

      You can’t fake it. It has to be natural and authentic. Like Bernie’s grumpy mitten photos.

      Like that’s just who he is, rather than him being a hard.
