Don't know much about her but from a purely cursory glance she seems like Bernie Lite, which isn't a good thing

She's the only dem I'd consider voting for other than Yang and she has more of a chance than Yang, though she has no chance.

I am now on the final episode in the latest season of Peaky Blinders.

People said Trump had no chance tho, everything is on the table at this point imo. Plus you'd only vote for her cause she's cute

Trump is an anomaly IMO.

If I were American and Yang got the nom, I'd be split on whether to vote for Yangman or Trump. Otherwise I'd vote Republican, or just not vote at all

Trump is an anomaly, Brexit is an anomaly, Bolsonaro is an anomaly, Italy's recent election is an anomaly...

These anomalies are getting increasingly unanomalous

I was speaking strictly in terms of the USA. Yes, there has been trends of populists coming into power across Europe, etc.

For example, look at the stuff Trump gets away with where it doesn't impact him. Stuff that would normally destroy other politicians in this country. This has not caused us to increasingly lower the bar for what politicians can get away with...it is still Trump alone that enjoys this particular immunity.

A lot of people I know are getting sick of the current stuff that's going on, and want change. I think, or at least hope, that this trend continues, and that figures like Yang and Trump become more of a norm to see at the head of politics

He's the first, sure, but I highly doubt he'll be the last

Every first step towards change was an anomaly to begin with

Maybe, but idk. For now it still feels like Trump is the exception and not the rule.
