      Low-key one of the most interesting things in American politics is just how dead Obamaism is as political affect.https://twitter.com/OlufemiOTaiwo/status/1527409924535373824 …

      in an era of imperial decline, ecological collapse, and historically unprecedented protests against police violence, you really gotta admire Obama's total commitment to not being about shit.

      Biden might have been Obama’s VP, but he is very much *not* an Obama-style politician—the well-polished meritocratic “pick me!” Ivy League lawyer type.

      The KHive has tried to make Harris a thing basically along these lines, but she’s never going to be any more than where she is now.

      Buttigieg flamed out because people of his generation actively hated him in 2020 because he was every grandparent’s Platonic ideal of what their Millennial grandchildren should be, which is a toxic vibe for young voters.

      And Fetterman just kicked the ass of an Obama-style clean-cut moderate through the power of his Big Guy Shorts energy (which also helped nullify his own Ivy League background.)

      I’m sure there are examples of Obamaesque politicos who have done well—you could make a case for Ossoff and Warnock here—but we’ve definitely seen a vibe shift, as they say.

      He’s young. He’s got time. But I also don’t really see that happening given the direction the country’s going. America isn’t France. Macronism is not going to happen here.

      Even in France, Macron is immensely unpopular and only won because people (rightly!) hate Le Pen even more.

          Right—the precondition for Macronism is the unlike in the United States you can’t win a presidential election in France with minority support.

          Fine essay. As I pointed out in 2016, you can’t do a cordon sanitaire in a two party, plurality win system. The GOP is a Euro extremist splinter party in the bloated body of a US major party. And revanchist, racial nationalists control it. A major party can always win—or “win.” https://twitter.com/ryanlcooper/status/1527635093426212866 …

          To be fair, *every* national political figure in France is unpopular, Macron is just the least unpopular.
