This is old news BUT hasn't reached it's Apex by a long shot. Candidates that are aggressively transparent, speak with brutal truth, and accept it may cost them an election... They will ironically be hard to beat long haul in this environment.
- i_am_nomad 7y agoIn some ways, that’s what Trump was - he didn’t stick to the predictable talking points and empty platitudes that form the language most other politicians speak in. He spoke much more bluntly and aggressively than we were used to. It seemed to have helped him enormously, even though the things he actually said turned out to be pure falsehoods. On the other hand, we have had actual honest and realistic candidates, like Larry Lessig. And they were so honest they got squashed by their party apparatus before they ever had a chance.
