always do your research before donating to a political candiate to make sure you are donating to someone who actually has a chance to win and not some loser who has no chance thats politics 101

The thread itself was pretty funny too. But, it is hundreds of pages long, I can only remember a few of the highlights, and I don't have time to look through it.

I remember Nichael bragged about how they decided to start the campaign based on cold-calling her via DMs on Facebook as if it were a good sign.

Nichael posted:

how the jess campaign started on september 4th, 2019





this literally started from some dms on facebook

The thread was also named "Jessica Scarane: The last bastion of the American Left in 2020" for a while.

And Nichael convinced her to hold a "CSPAM after Dark" fundraiser on Twitch to livestream with CSPAMers who donated over a $100.

a lot of people and especially those who post in cspam dont understand the reality of politics which is that sometimes you have to vote for a piece of poo poo to beat an even bigger piece of poo poo and that even politicans like bernie and AOC have to make compromises to get things done so they would sit around and back no hope candiates and rant about fake leftists online all day it sucks but thats just how it is

Npr had something the other day about tipping and why it's still done, and the person described it as "An Adult Problem" where there is no right or good answer, just a bad choice and an even worse choice.

Pretty sure that politics brain goons don't understand this level of complexity

There were also so many goons being creepy and horny over Jess Scarene that the official Something Awful Act Blue Link was "The Horny Toll"

so out of curiosity i went looking for the campaigns youtube channel... and all i found was this

which, without getting too horny, was a let down the guys keep their shirts on

you might wanna setup a basic channel and stuff it with a few better interviews just to not-cede the top search results

She wasn't smiling, but at least she had a good drunk going.



People also kept posting links to their donations to her campaign and calling themselves her "Paypigs."

They also reacted with Pig emojis in the chat.



And tweeted out their Paypig donations to the campaign account:



And sent PMs asking about how to donate money directly because they were a Paypig for Jess.

there was a Nichael post in spring 2020 that was to the effect of "yeah Bernie is great, but you should instead send your money to Jessica!"

down ballot candidates and local politics are undeniably incredibly important. but that's all the more reason not to divert limited time and money to a no-hoper

I get the sense by the CPAM posts that make it here that some people genuinely believe in "meme magic", and that Trump was literally manifested to office due to 4chan shitposts, so therefore it's possible to do the same to other, leftist candidates. idk.

There are a lot of posts in that thread of people shocked when she only got 25% of the vote because "nearly every Twitter interaction I have ever seen is pro-Jess" and "I have never seen a single pro-C**ns meme."

Some people were also wondering if it was possible the election was rigged.

It's this and a tendency to have very very little ability to critically think about where they got their information from (twitter shitposts and goon telephone in fast-moving threads mostly).

You could actually watch goon consensus on issues form in real time, usually based on some tweet about a headline.
