There's a deep and dangerous grandiosity in thinking that there's any pros in this pro-con argument That you'll actually have the power to do ANY of the things you're talking about as a state rep, that opposing your candidacy is holding back The Revolution https://twitter.com/Aaron4KS37/status/1303480676491186178 …

It's fucking insane, obvious nonsense -- the idea that one state rep (replacing a moderate Democrat, not even cutting into the GOP majority) will legalize cannabis, decriminalize sex work, socialize medicine, send everyone a monthly UBI check, etc, etc

Those girls are just paid DNC shills, anyone who points out Aaron's plans are stupid is a neoliberal sellout, anyone who says he's obviously an insincere asshole is the civility police, etc

Aaron is very clumsy and incompetent in executing this strategy, which is why he doesn't have very many defenders But a lot of the people who instinctively rallied to his side at first did it because game recognizes game

A lot of people have used this exact playbook very effectively to cover all manner of sins and to build a career in being a professional asshole (all while, of course, things continue not to change but it's their critics' fault)
