i got that mayor pete song stuck in my head

yeah it in like 2 days became one of those dumb things I laugh at immediately, but I also know the loving song now

It's also pretty Pete: the singer expects great things of himself but doesn't know how or why he will get them, wants to be "that one in a million," and wants to create a legacy and manifest his destiny. It's all inspiring go get it stuff, until you realize it says nothing at all about what they will do other than become great and famous. He's certainly not interested in making much of a structural dent, he's okay with 999,999 other people failing as long as he makes it.

I've refused to watch those pete dancnig videos and this whole time I thought you guys were talking about the old high hopes song. Thought it was kind of weird that people would be choreographing routines to it, but now it makes a little more sense

Look, healthcare is a thing that requires bold action and I know the plan I have laid out on my website is the one to address these fundamental changes for access to healthcare. Under my plan we're going to move towards universal healthcare in a way that makes sense, that brings digninity to the working class, and frankly is fair to all stake holders involved in the process of this transformative step in our free market democracy.

Mayor Pete?

Okay, look America, we are all wanting something better for everyone but we have to examine how we get there. It's easy to get lured in by pie in the sky promises but we need to be pragmatic and look what is realistic at this time in the political climate we find ourselves in. I do not believe 180 million American's want to be kicked off the private health insurance they love in favor for a plan that's forced in them. That's why I've put forth my Medicare For All Who Want It plan that guarantees citizens* the right to afford access to a public option when and where they need it most. Under my Medicare For All Who Want It Program service will guarantee coverage!

People with lifestyles comfortable enough they can treat politics like sports and their favorite politicians like all-star athletes should be discouraged from participating.

There's always going to be some level of cross-over between a candidate's policies and "personal loyalty" to them, but there's definitely been a push to deliberately make it more about the latter, in order to paper-over the lack of good policies.

My understanding is it's been the case at least since Nixon with personality-centred merchandise and all that, and then at least by the 90s America had weirdos dancing Macarena with Bill Clinton or whatever. And now it's this utter insanity. I suspect it must have developed alongside with wide adoption of television, when people finally could see candidates speaking, and actually, like, recognise their faces consistently. And I think there was a movie not long ago about some American politician from the 70s, I want to say, where the plot revolved around media trying to tank his career by reporting on his marital infidelity instead of policies, which was novel at the time, and it worked.
But I would be interested to read something on the topic of how political campaigning evolved, and how focus shifted more and more to personalities.
