Im no Trump fan. I want him as far away from the White House as possible. But a fundamental part of his appeal has been that its him against a corrupt government establishment. This raid strengthens that case for millions of Americans who will see this as unjust persecution.
It seems like this was authorized by a local judge and a particular FBI office without buy-in or notification of higher levels of government. But literally no one will believe that or make a distinction. Its probably bureaucratic but it seems political.

He might run a 3rd Party Spoiler Campaign in 2024. What Dem, in their right mind, wants to do that?

Poor Andrew Yang, he gets no respect. But he doesn't deserve any.

(54,509 posts)4. He's still bitter at Dems from losing two high-profile elections...
so now he's siding with trump. And starting a third party to take votes from Dems.
He's turning out to be a pitiful guy.

(71,046 posts)5. Somehow, primaries reporting doesn't get us the info on who-candidates-ARE.
And all the campaign people and reporters *know* back in real time. It's a tiresome disservice to have, after everything is all over, all the tell-all books.

They've gotten away with far too much because people like you are afraid of rightwing social media poutrage. Enough.

Andrew Yang Is Already Talking About Running for President in 2024
Yang told his staffers that a strong showing in the New Hampshire primary this Tuesday would help build a base of supporters he could draw on if he ran again in four years.
Every bit of good we do in the state of New Hampshire gives us a chance to make history right now on Tuesday, but it also enables us to build a following and support base for the ideas that energize this campaign and for the future, Yang said on the call.
He went on, Imagine a world where we put up a really great number on Tuesday, and then lets say we decide to run this back again in four years. If you start with that base in New Hampshire, plus everything that we have the next time around, were going to be even better positioned to see the goals of this campaign through, eradicate poverty, improve the human condition, and help move this country we love forward in the right direction.

Even fucking FOX News is bragging about it.
Andrew Yang spoke with Fox News Digital about his intent to disrupt the two-party system

(37,181 posts)16. Yang is an adherent of a pernicious political theory...
"Both sides". Also known as "not a dime's with of difference."
It's the political equivalent of sportscasters emphasizing that both teams need to move the ball down field... when the ball is at the 5-yard line. Not the thing to focus on.
