Political Authenticity In The Modern Age

Authenticity is the key to modern political battles. Trump won because he’s authentic — a racist piece of shit, sure, but authentically racist and shitty. With Trump, you know exactly what you’re getting — whether you like it or not.

Hillary, on the other hand, always read like a politician — regardless of her inestimable experience and ability. Nobody knows what Hillary Clinton truly thinks about anything — other than that she should be president. Whereas everybody with an internet connection knows everything that Trump thinks” (for lack of a better term).

Which is why I find pieces like this:

Bernie Sanders is a risk we can’t run at this moment of national peril 1

-to be utterly misguided and politically inept at best.

And at worst, well — you know that ole chesnut: I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action…”
