Dave Portnoy is one of those perfect examples of the fact that America is not a meritocracy. Please run Dave. Please put it on display. We’ll need a rich asshole from New York in politics to remind everyone what a disaster Trump was after he dies, hopefully horribly, hopefully on camera.
Man, be careful… that’s exactly the kind of thinking that got us Trump.
Remember how many Democrats were saying “I hope we wins the primary because we’ll get annihilated in the general?”
Yeah except now we have the lived experience of Trump
We had the lived experience of Trump from his first term. If people could learn from history, there would have been world peace decades ago.
History is long, but human memory is short and malleable.
It’s a fair point but I would argue this term is different
Lol
Portnoy has previously said he’s disliked the mayor, claiming last year that he had thought about taking Barstool’s office out of NYC if Mamdani won the election (which he ultimately did.)
“We have all those people who that (messes) up their life just because I hate the guy,” he said at the time. “It’s a catch-22. I may close the New York office … because I can’t stand the thought of Mamdani running … New York City.”
I watched the video and it really opened up my eyes to the psychology that underlies politics. Identity is so important to people, and people get really, really upset when someone they don’t share an identity with gets put into a position of power and authority over them. Portnoy feels about Mamdani the way I feel about Trump. I hate Trump, and I can’t stand the thought of him running the Federal government.
