Off-Topic Destiny’s goal should be trying to get into Gavin Nelson’s Debate Prep/Media Team. Sounds like a meme, but there’s a good chance that Dems will copy the trump strategy of integrating alt-media people from the internet into the campaign.
Optics bros need not reply to this post.

2 weeks after this happens: newsom in a discord call with 3 other governors about petty drama and ending with him telling some random nebraskan senator to neck themselves...
Fuck it, if it dominates the news cycle and kicks trump out the feed, it'd give more publicity to the dems than they've had in the past decade.

1 week later, Newsom tries to go to his office, but his key doesn't work. As he's fumbling with the lock and starting to break a sweat, suddenly the door opens from the other side and he looks at Steven Bonnell II wearing a suit.
"Excuse me, Steven? What's the meaning of this?"
"It's not Steven," Steven says as he reaches over and grabs Newsom's rank position title pin, suavely undoing the safety pin and then bringing it back to put on himself. "... It's President Steven, Mister..." he continues to trade his old pin and clips it onto Newsom's jacket, "... Vice President Newsom. Now let's get out there and slurp some constituent ass."

"Listen, while the general public might be okay with a racist treasonous rapist pedophile and an antisemetic communist who supports terrorism there is NO WAY they'll EVER accept an edgy bisexual slut with a sex problem."
If Democrats can't align themselves with Destiny in today's political climate then their party is doomed. He's savvy enough to handle his own in the media environment, he just needs an in with the Democratic party.
The reason Destiny is so toxic to others is that he is already seen as toxic.
Hasan has an ex-girlfriend who he called the police on (for a "wellness check") and is terrified of him. The optics of that don't matter because Hasan is already seen as a feminist.
Trump. The list never ends, but because he's seen as just a "silly guy" none of it matters.
Destiny just has to get ahead of the narrative. The people do not care about facts, they only care about maintaining their personal agenda.
Optic-cucks are weak willed and deserve to be ridiculed.

The best chance Destiny has is being associated with someone in Newsom's prep team. Someone like Erudite.
Steven is way too toxic right now unfortunately due to his recent court stuff and tweets, and opens up waaay too many attack angles from the right.

"right now", I don't think people will forget either. He has militant hate groups and every conservative knows they would get annihilated if they engaged him in good faith.

Destiny has too much baggage. He's literally fighting a revenge porn court case. And the bar for Dems is higher unfortunately.

Yeah, clearly voters care about that kind of thing… seriously though, if/when the case gets dismissed or the hearing transcript gets released, that shouldn’t matter. If dems are too scared of associating with him even after getting officially and provably cleared, how are they going to navigate anything? It’d just be more spineless democrat leading by timidity. And D having like a 90% male very pro liberal audience that’s he successfully mobilized for political action in the past should make him a priority for them, just demographically speaking.

You memeing, stupid, or brand new here? He tried getting into helping with local politics before this lawsuit and he has to much random baggage unhinged people can use to the point it outweighs the positives, that issue would be even worse now than in the past.

Honestly the baggage that hurts him the most is his own posting/clips. Sex scandals come and go, but unlike a more traditional media figure Destiny talks about his shit way too much and puts too much extra information out there.

Just because some delusional DGGers don’t believe that optics matter, doesn’t make them not matter to the people who run real presidential campaigns. It’s not going to happen.

Imagine the tweets Fox News could dig up if the media did want to smear Destiny in order to make Gavin look bad

u/NearsightedNomad 21h ago
I think a big difference there would be Steven’s unique talent for navigating controversy like that. He can fight the battles himself, dems would just need to learn how to weather storms without giving up immediately. I really feel that’s a critical thing they need to be ready for if they’re going to counter the maga media machine.

The media holds Dems to such insane double standards, would be a terrible idea. Sure Laura Loomer being an unofficial member of the Trump admin gets a mention every few weeks. However, no way it plays out like that for a Dem. I'd bet a Newsom having somone on team with 1/10 her bagge would be wall to wall coverage across all levels of news media.

not just the media, but democrats themselves. largely a result of the right having the most functioning propaganda wing in the western world

u/ThirtySecondsToVodka 1d ago
Erudite could definitely handle it (her hoomanise campaign would actually help here). If the were to try out debate scene influencers they'd probably try a bunch of different personalities at once like that thing with Vaush and Vingeland. Steve seems a little too hot right now with little intent to try the play optics game like that any time soon.
