No. Give me a Danny DeVito type campaigning on nationalized healthcare and the end of ICE over a Chis Hemsworth clone spewing the same corporate democon bullshit.

Y'all don't think Sanders is the cutest guy?

People want progressive candidates not hot shills.

Electing a random Lemmy user would even be an improvement

This stupidity is what led to Trump. I don't want a fuckable candidate. I want a capable candidate.

Don’t laugh.

Oh I'm not laughing. They're really pulling out all the stops to try and lose, and it's appalling.

Also hinting about wanting non-geriatric candidates?

This whole article sounds like it's really stretching to stitch together a narrative.

I’ve Had It podcast? Keith Edwards is a Democratic influencer and not a former reality show contestant? Qondi Ntini, an Instagram account with less than a thousand followers?

We don't fucking need "hotter".

We need some fuckers who can start straightening out the rampant damage to the U.S. (ALL aspects) caused by the orange faced shitgoblin in the white house.

Is that how they think Trump got elected?

I'm terrible at judging men's attractiveness, but I remember someone who is much better at that looking very closely at his picture to recreate something and going, "holy shit that guy is ugly".

I mean, when Forstag's press circuit looks like this...

The I've had it women are generally not shallow like that on their videos. They are legit. Surprised about this. It must have been a joke.

Makes sense. All the Bernie bros were probably just lusting after a septuagenerian grandfather and that's why he was so well liked.

What truly stupid things to support. In a world filled with celebrities getting/lying about cosmetic procedures many people can never afford, people generally being more aware of the halo effect, attractiveness being much more attainable for the wealthy, and most importantly, a large part of the voter base that was stolen from Dems being young men who have been lead to believe they are simply genetically disadvantaged and unable to have a good life because of it, we should select our elected officials based off looks. Amazing. Love this. This is the political take we deserve. Our country is over and it is now beyond satire.

What the fuck kind of article is this?

Gotta get the shallow voter bloc. I mean it's supremely stupid, but if someone votes for a Democrat because they're hot at least they aren't voting MAGA, so that's good, I guess.

Let's tell the truth: it's a popularity contest that rarely has to do with merit.

Counting a candidate's looks, provided they can stick to the script, is just sane politics.

Is someone not pure now unless they're decrepit and falling apart?
