    Sadly I’ve seen some folks on true anon fall for this charm offensive. He’s not our guy, even though he is a recovering addict and pseudo dirtbag adjacent he’s still apart of the bourgeoise class.

    i think what annoys me the most about hunter biden shitposting is that he comes across like exactly what he is: a gen X boomer doing performative liberal millennial. who’s it working on? only the most narcissistic millennial posters.

      I’ve only seen the highlights. This shtick has got to get old fast, even faster once the pitch gets serious. I saw that post earlier where he was trying to list his “accomplishments” and it just fell so fucking flat. It’s still a rich fail son trying to sell the same old shit-- more of the status quo with a change in leadership.

      it’s also working on the same group of constant online posters who claim to be ‘leftist’ but also love electioneering lol. “Sir, sir please come on my podcast” omg Mr. Biden is gonna go on the Adam Friedland show??

      If you think for a moment his involvement is more than signing a contract, you’re less cynical that you should be

          But to even entertain idea that it’s gen x boomer doing or being something (as opposed to signing contract and let them handle it), implies his involvement is more than paying some twitter guru 50 k for 3 months of shitposting to whitewash him

            i said the posts come across as what hunter biden currently is: a gen x/boomer guy whose posts are in the language of “performative millennial.” this is agnostic on the level of his involvement. you seem to be putting a lot of weight on whether i think “it’s him” posting or a guy he pays way too much: i know that i don’t know one way or the other, and i don’t think it really matters anyway. so what if it was him? would that make it any less bullshit? i don’t care about his level of involvement personally because i don’t care about anything hunter biden could say on twitter. he’s a corrupt fail son making a pass at running for office.

      sort of, but gavin newsom’s team has been doing that for like a year+ now much more successfully than civility fetishist establishment types, so it’s also just the obviously better tactic to employ.
