yeah, i wouldn't deny the outsider charisma. and of course we are living in a time where people are sick of the establishment across the political spectrum. but the vibes versus policy binary is badly mapped on to that in this piece.

not convinced by this. i think a large part of mamdani's appeal (like bernie) is a focus on leftwing policy. people are fed up w democrats because they have no policies that aren't vague compromises. harris was the "vibes" candidate

mainstream legacy media then reinforces its manufacturing of consent aground all the popular "crazy" stuff on online media.
the "crazy" stuff can be qanon or socialism. no doubt some version of this dynamic existed in relation to alternative media before social media. but it seems amplified.
