It's pretty clear they don't, in point of fact, have mass political appeal, the test of having mass political appeal is being able to get votes from the masses

As far as the populist underdog narrative, lol The Chapos are absolutely just the frustrated angry young wing of the wealthy media class and the idea that they're outsiders to it is absurd

Lol the "appeal to credentials" is another off base attack on "Sorkinism" The core feature of Sorkinism absolutely always was that the applause itself was the credential He said it so well and so convincingly and he owned that guy so hard he MUST have won

The idea that you can make a really good speech and just FEEL totally right and everyone around you claps and you STILL LOSE THE ELECTION is an alien thought in Sorkinland As it is in the Chapo bubble

I don't really care about "credentialism" per se The person going the analysis can have a PhD or not, whatever It's just pretty fucking annoying seeing people make broad sweeping narratives based on their own obvious psychological issues and refuse to test them against reality

Okay and do you think if your job is politics you have some obligation to TRY to win, to actually change your behavior based on using the brain God gave you to figure out what works and what doesn't (using tools invented by "credentialed" experts)

Or do you think you should just do whatever it was you wanted to do anyway and whatever the fuck feels good, and if you win you win and if you lose you lose Because Chapo seems to fall back on that as a defense just like Jon Stewart did
