Lawrence Lessig, patron of our boy Brian Boyko, is running for President. You know he's a serious candidate because: quote:Lessig stressed that because — if elected — he plans to resign and leave the presidency to his vice president as soon as the Citizen Equality Act is passed, Sanders could still end up as president. If you don't know who Brian Boyko or Lawrence Lessig is and why this is the best news since Trump's announcement, read this entire thread http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3634476

heres chief strategist brian boyko's take on Lessigs chances:quote:I've worked with Lessig before - I co-created the Mayday PAC with him, and I would be part of his campaign team if other responsibilities (bad timing, I know) didn't come up in my life.

drat, I knew Lessig was a scampaigner after that Mayone PAC (and the hilarious thread it created). But this is a whole new level of craven self serving poo poo. Any votes he receives may as well be a rounding error (lol @ planning to give delegates to Bernie at a brokered convention.) This is just more of the same poo poo so he can funnel more money to his "professional campaigners" so they can take a winter vacation in the Bahamas or some poo poo. Say this for Brony Boyko, he knows a gravy train when he sees one.

This bullshit again? Remind me again how well MAYDAY PAC did? The defining issue of the 2014 midterms was campaign finance reform right? Good thing r/politics gave him all that money.

Money well spent chums! I remember talking about return on investment on their big reddit thread and someone told me "Lessig is a Harvard professor, I'm pretty sure they'll invest in high RoI tactics" as if they had any inkling what those were. I could rant all day about how stupid their strategy was, but I'd rather just marvel that Brian Boyko posts to NSFW MLP forums under his actual birth name.

When Lessig did the voice overs for some of Mayday’s early ads, even some of his defenders blanched. “He does not have a radio voice. He sounds like a Harvard professor. That won’t go over well in New Hampshire,” said one operative who has been generally supportive of Lessig. “They may be the worst political ads I’ve ever seen or heard, and I’ve seen and heard a lot of them.” Another reform advocate who has worked with Lessig said “The last thing that the progressive movement needs is another ivory tower egghead trying to play political operative and sucking up valuable donations and resources for his personal vanity project. For the sake of reforming money in politics, I wish Larry Lessig would please stop.”

Is Lessig delusional enough to think he's a household name? Someone needs to tell Lessig that politics is not a game and you don't get points for trying.

Why isn't Boyko working on Lessig's campaign, you ask? Note: I generally try to stay away from "doxxing" people and will delete this post if there's a consensus that I'm crossing a line, but c'mon, his reddit username is his actual name. The only thing we don't know about this dude is his social.

What would Brian Boyko do, if he was here right now? He'd gently caress a pony rear end or two, that's what Brian Boyko'd do.

Seriously one of my biggest pet peeves is amateur "poets" that don't even seem to know what meter is or what words rhyme with other words. I never got to post in the goldmine thread, but I was sort of amazed no one made fun of his posts talking about what a great writer he is because every time he strings more than five words together it comes out as unreadable garbage. I guess it fits with his terrible colored pencil drawings, his unendurable comedy videos, his ear-burning songs and all the other tossed off art "projects" he's so inordinately proud of though.

Didn't The Young Turks jerk this guy off surprisingly hard, too? I remember some legitimate mainstream source was blowing him and his dumb 'no see if you make a SuperPAC for ME, then I'LL stop superPACs, with your SuperPAC money! Get money out of politics by putting money in my politics!"

Then again, my version required robbery and money laundering to actually work, so it was a more realistic approach.

I think every political nerd who gets hosed up has thought of that. My plan was to run as a 'pro-business' type and suck up to all the rich guys and then when elected cackle and reveal that I was a socialist the whole time and then...I dunno not get elected again?

Some day, I hope a shifty-eyed "pro-business" Republican with a power tie and Reagan hair will pull me aside, quickly scan the vicinity for potential narcs, and then launch into an unhinged stoner rant about how he's taking the system down from the inside. Even if didn't believe him, I think I still might be impressed enough to vote for him.

It's obvious that he's not electable and his campaign is just a waste of time and resources. Anyone who knows even a little about politics can see that

The Slate Political Gabfest podcast dedicated a lot of time this week to point out how "silly and dangerous" Lessig's plan is. Needless to say, it's loving great. Actual quote: "I don't think [the message] is that bad because I don't think that many people are going to care about what he has to say." Fuckt Tupp has issued a correction as of 21:20 on Aug 14, 2015 |
