Never in my life did I expect to see an ad like this from a political candidate..
He is literally asking that people stop sending money. This has to be freaking the pundit and consultant classes out. Their entire existence is predicated on endless campaigns fueled by endless amounts of spending. And along comes a guy with a funny sounding name that reaches across the political spectrum while openly running as a socialist saying, “No. No more money, we have enough.”
He’s leading in every poll that I’ve seen, he’s continuing to build a juggernaut on social media, and he’s not afraid to speak on any topic.
And I get it.. what he’s doing in NYC won’t work in Podunk, Iowa.. but it could work in big cities across the country.. and if people see that the Democratic party actually supports making life affordable for everyone it might just work in Podunk as well.
That is a future I’d love to see.
