if Avenatti actually starts going in on leftist planks like uhc, ubi, minimum wage, etc etc, I have nothing against him. but afaik he is just another succ huckster using his 15min of fame from trump to grift. I suspect as soon as he gets his first round of donor money he is going to be talking about bipartisan solutions to cutting the deficit.

Avenatti is an obvious grifter, like the only way he could be more obviously a grifter is if he were literally carrying around flashing signs that read I AM A GRIFTER #BASTA.

I cannot think of one instance in my time as a Boston City Councillor when a constituent implored me to make repealing Citizens United a top priority,” she once wrote.

Nah hes just a Trump type that knows where the winds are blowing but has no real convictions

There is no way he wouldn't betray everyone except for yacht owners that have little yachts in their yachts the moment he takes office

He's runnin though

I don’t have anything against grifting off of political parties, per se. but when it also freezes out non-grift candidates that actually want to use the office to improve people’s lives, it sucks.

bastas gonna exploit every legal trick he knows to hey Trump on a stand then run on being the only person in the primary to gently caress with Donny in any real way.

Yeah, I mean the line between "grifter" and "politician" is usually a pretty faint smudge regardless, and also politics will not save us, so I'm fine with Avenatti running. I just don't see how anyone could possibly believe he's even a little sincere about anything other than, I guess, wanting to embarrass Trump.

He's too good at playing the media for them to do anything to him just like trump was. He even managed to poo poo talk fox onto letting him in where he owned them

Unfortunately I think this is the best indicator, but I’m hoping court packing will be one of the litmus tests for anyone running (amongst a plethora of other issues that are in dire need such as UHC, which we won’t get unless the courts are changed)

like trump, he's a grifter who's obviously full of poo poo

but since he absolutely doesn't give a gently caress about anything besides getting news coverage, he can just tell the base exactly what they want to hear

also lol if you were moved to tears and undying loyalty by his "I will refuse PAC money" bromide, the same one booker and some other besuited turd already signed off on.

the statement means nothing. the whole point of pacs is that they don't just give candidates money, and instead coincidentally happen to spend the money in ways the candidate would want, with zero cooperation between the two entities.

like, how big of a mark do you have to be to get swindled by that guy

"I do not believe we should abolish ICE," Avenatti said. "That's similar to saying we're going to get rid of law enforcement, but we should curtail ICE."

just close down or rebrand the baby death camps and everything will be fine :hmmyes:
