Was watching Vivek Ramaswamy speaking yesterday...

Just fuking lol at these politicians, ded srs.

The manipulation of the masses (in order to get votes) that they are ALL trying to do is so obvious, they can't even hide their mask anymore. Republicans say exactly what republicans wanna her, democrats say what democrats wanna hear. None of them think what they say (the only exception is probably Trumpl but he still does it to a certain degree). I wouldn't be surprised at tall if they were in fact... friends. Its all an act.

I know Vivek is not a "career politician" but he acts/talks jus like one. You just can predict his answers before he gives them because you know that is going to be the answer that appeal most to conservatives.







I dunno if this is clear because I am getting older or if they are seriously loosing abilities.

It's beyond obvious at this point. GOP politician sees Tucker and Trump's popularity, makes emulating them the main campaign strategy.

I can help you with those answers:
1. It is an act, and it should be an act. Politicians are in the business to get votes just like Denny's is in the business of trying to sell grandslams. A politician doesn't have an opinions(that he tells us).He is the corporation trying to get votes,so that forms his opinion. When the public changes is when politicians change

2. Why would Vivek want to appeal to you? I assume you are white or Asian, upper class and smart. You are less than 5 percent

I don’t find him as authentic as Trump. He’s clearly in used car salesman mode.

He is faking it BUT he’s doing a better job faking it than DeSantis.

Watching DeSantis collapse has been bizarre. From a shoo in for 2028 to near irrelevancy. That man has a horrible team around him.

Vivek seems to have a solid one.


Neither are actual MAGA but even Trump didn’t do most of what he said he would. I was hoping he would during a second term.

Neither Vivek or DeSantis will do any real reforming either. But I’ve decided if I show up on Election Day and Viveks name is there instead of Trumps I will vote for him. If there is no Trump or Vivek I won’t vote for the GOP as they need to be punished.

Again, this is me talking about US politics as a foreigner because I like politics in general and everything that starts in the US, eventually reaches the rest of the world.

Yeah, I believe Vivek gonna overtake DeSantis if both keep their current strategy.



And yes, I agree with you on your last point. If Trump was not an options and if I could vote, I would definitely choose Vivek.

Go watch his long form content and you'll see the dude has an answer for every issue and can think on his feet when getting pressed by any random person or question. Dude is just one of those straight up overachievers. I know a few of them.

It might rub people the wrong way because they are used to having fuking idiots run the country so an actual smart person might seem "too good to be true" but I believe the dude is the real deal.

Honestly, for the past 5-6 years I've really felt our political systems aging badly. I still like human law makers, but the executive branch has just turned into a binary us vs them system, and none of them keep all their promises anyway. We elect divisive leaders that are only there to try and maintain their stranglehold on half the country.

I dont have any answer for what would be better, but I feel like voting more to legislature and local policy would be an overall net benefit. Watching election victory speeches where people treat these lying politicians like gods (only in the name of "MY SIDE WON!) is disgusting.

The only thing I want out of politicians is for them to once in a while give a speech saying how great America is to pump up the crowd and make us feel proud.

Thats it. They can spend the rest of the time with their feet up on the desk smoking fat cigars for all I care. Just leave us the hell alone and be the nations biggest cheerleader.

Vivek appeals to me too much

It’s basically scripted

So fuk him

Obvious I would prefer his policies to everyone else’s, it’s what gets slipped under the rug while I’m happy about how things are going that’s the issue.

They just decided to have him fill the MAGA void that DeSantis started stepping away from.

Viveks long form answers are good but then again so are a lot of DeSantis interviews. You get more time to bull**** and present ideas slowly.

Sometimes Vivek says something and it makes me lol because it comes across very forced (yelling about the American dream etc).

I personally dont believe there is such a thing as the “American people” anymore. The BLM/ANTIFA terror riots demonstrated that. Imo there are 2-3 nations housed inside this country. So when politicians say “The American people” I almost immediately shut down.

I have nothing in common with a person of color queer from Portland, a loud mouth Yankee from Boston or those freaky fake-nice people from places like Minneapolis.

The system is designed to allow these people to enrich themselves. That’s exactly what DeSantis will be busy doing if elected. Vivek and Trump just don’t need the money though I think Trump actually loves the country. Vivek is Indian and has no real historical connection to British common law, Roman republic principals or Greek free thought (though a bit more than most due to British control of India).

I no longer expect people from certain parts of the world to even understand what America is or is supposed to be.

Even if they came in with 100k, those immigrants came in and made hundreds of millions in 1 generation. What did you do while your ancestors lived there? Sounds to me like they were really smart and worked hard for their money.
