Frank’s low center of gravity gives him an edge but I think you could certainly out last him in. Stay strong!
I'm not afraid of being beaten up or sued. I'm nervous about posting anything that might partially validate the narrative here, if y'all are right about Brianna attacking people for even posting here.
And also I'm not the vindictive type (except maybe sometimes as a keyboard warrior) and I don't wish Brianna any ill will. Whatever y'all may think, it's pretty hard work running for office, and I have to give props to anybody who even gets this far. And even if it's lip service, I'd rather vote for somebody who gives lip service to progressiveness than somebody who doesn't even do that.
But I may step back from as much involvement in the campaign. Being heckled is funny and kinda flattering, but it's also exhausting and stressful. And if I'm doubting that Brianna might not be progressive, that makes my job of convincing people way harder.
And I get enough heckling by right wingers in Malden. Whether Brianna's progressive or not, she's kinda built her career on how she gets heckled, and kind of baits it sometimes maybe, and love her or hate her, she has a legendary number of hecklers. That might be too much for me. The majority of y'all might be just an ordinary level of mean like me (I'm probably kind of a mean guy), but saying that my girlfriend who loves cats dearly "kills cats"? Arguments that my telling a story about my friend Robby's mean hecklers was "asking for" that one pic?
I'm not trying to be judgey here and I don't hold a grudge about any of it, I just get creeped out and kind of bummed out by some of the more ice cold stuff. Big time politics might not be my bag because of that. I definitely had a rough time working around large numbers of comedians. Comedians can be ICE cold. The stuff they say on stage is not nearly as dark as the jokes they tell each other. Or to their camera guy. Yikes.
I like working with celebrities and being near the circus. I also like having "cult fame" or "berniecrat fame" where it's only certain people who know who you are. But I don't think I would like being *in* the circus. Regular big-time fame means so many hecklers. And for Robby and Brianna, even small to medium-time fame means that.
Maybe I'm a spoiled snob like y'all accuse Brianna of being, but I'd rather do my fighting in Malden where my number of hecklers is about equal to my number of supporters. Who wants their every 3rd or 4th FB post made into an insulting meme?
Kermit the Frog was cool with it. He gave Statler and Waldorf box seats. But he's more chill than me maybe. IDK maybe not. These past few days have been very confusing.
I am excited to post the meeting description but also still kinda scared. IDK. Y'all make Brianna out to be this really really retaliatory person, and I really already have enough stress if that's true.
Please don't take this as me saying y'all are overall "mean". This has been one weird ride and sometimes very flattering and hilarious.
