In a telegenic age, ensuring that candidates are pretty people to appeal to shallow, ill-informed voters is a great Trojan horse for our enemies.
It is obvious that one part of the plan to use communists and Islamists to fundamentally change America is to use good-looking people, mostly men, to get the votes of mainly women. (Although attractive young women like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who makes herself every girl’s best friend, are meant to appeal to both men and women.)
We have three good-looking, well-dressed, well-spoken men in office or running for office who are communists. Mamdani, to the shallow-minded, is handsome, with a crinkly, benign smile. He speaks well (if you don’t listen closely, and too many women don’t), is confident, and is thoroughly malevolent in his intent. He is not a “Democratic Socialist.” He is a communist, just as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was communist, so let’s get that out of the way right quick.
Ditto the latest two handsome men: Abdul El-Sayed, the Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, and Oliver Larkin, who is running against U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz for the 2026 Democrat nomination in South Florida’s 25th Congressional District. They are making the rounds of TV interviews in hostile territory, such as Sean Hannity’s TV show. Both men are fit, handsome, and well-dressed. Eye candy for the female voter prone to feel rather than to think.
The problem with this approach—running good-looking people—is that they are very unlikely to be the ones who actually run the offices they win. You can bet good money that, like Biden, others will hold the power and the reins, controlling them from behind the scenes. The pretty public candidates are merely placeholders for the death-cult communists, socialists, and jihadists around the world.

“”just as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was communist, so let’s get that out of the way right quick.””
Yes, absolutely - please do get it out of the way! There should BE NO OTHER WAY of defining these people than what they really are - “communist”...Don’t feed their delusion...say it over and over - COMMUNIST!!!! Make them own up to it and THEN perhaps, their voters will get it!!!!!
There is an old episode from “Bewitched” called “My friend Ben.” where (adorable!) Aunt Clara messes up a spell, and brings Benjamin Franklin to modern day (1966) and he puts rude people and hippies in their place.
He also is amazed by a Fire Truck, because after all, it was his idea!

It works every time.
“ Are women really that shallow?”
Liberal ones are. I was once married to one.
Too cute to fail?
Here in TX we have the gay boy talifreako running for senate.
He is a dork. They run his commercials every day. And like clockwork, AT&T runs their ads with a doppelgänger for talifreako. Why would they pick someone who looks like the candidate. He doesn’t speak, he is just there for AT&T.
Facial recognition and trying to make “freako” appear normal. Nothing happens in commercials by accident.
Are women really that shallow?

Ask Bill Clinton and Barak Obama
FWIW... By and large, “pretty people” don’t have to try as hard, or “know their stuff” really well, to succeed in life.
“she was an outlier ...”
Same with Margaret Thatcher.
Women have a lot of good qualities but being good leaders or choosing good leaders, ain’t one of them - too emotional and short term thinkers.
The 19th wasn’t such a good idea.
I have to admit, with the GOP running Stacy Garrity for PA governor I’m sorely tempted to either sit it out or hold my nose and vote for Shapiro. Placing women in positions of power in this country has been a disaster at every level.
Worth repeating ...
My high school US history teacher once commented that while he and his wife were at a Nixon For President rally his wife found herself at arms-length to Nixon. She could see beads of sweat and a 5 o’clock shadow on him, and decided then and there she would never vote for him. Presumably she went for lady’s man JFK. Her history teacher husband seemed to regard it as a just-shaking-my-head moment; there was nothing he could do.
They always say, if you listened to the debate on the radio, Nixon won, and if you watched it on TV, Kennedy won.
Always be smiling.
We liked IKE because he looked like our father should look.
We liked JFK for his looks.
We liked Reagan for his looks.
We liked Bill for his looks.
We liked Obama for his looks.
Even Trump looked better than Hillary or Kamala.
The same is true of most congress critters, state politicians, mayors and local politicians.
When a primary, or final, is 51% vs 49% every 2% counts. 2% on looks, 2% on race/ethnicity (Irish is best in most areas), 2% on taxes, 2% on guns, 2% on life, 2% on this, 2% on that.
My mother a big time Republican, worked in state & local GOP politics from Eisenhower election to the Obama election. She was very serious about it. I always pointed out to her it was strange that it was always the handsomest candidate she favored. She would then get mad at me and tell me it isn’t true!
yeh that nails it!
Oliver Larkin ... activist ... organizer ...
Aren’t they all “activists” and “organizers” now?
