I think Wu is loosing it... more than usual.

Firstly, a politician does not connect with her voters, if she maintains her 'classic sports car' herself (a 2001 Audi TT being a classic sports car, good one), because that means that this politician apparently has enough time and leisure at her hands to repair her own car - while she should do her job. People who actually do repair their car know what a time-consuming, weekend-eating job that can be - if you don't simply change a spark plugs or do something similar trivial. And I am assuming here, that you are able to quickly identify the problem and get your spare parts from a shop, without having to order them.

The normal guy brings his car to the workshop, waits one to four days, while he drives to work with a replacement vehicle and then grows a couple of grey hairs when he looks at the repair bill.

Exactly. It's worth remembering that many of the people that do their own maintenance especially within nice car or performance car circles (though I struggle to call an early 2000s TT "nice" or "performance") do so because if they can do it successfully, they save enough money that they can afford to own that nice car day to day, whereas if they had to pay the mechanic the cost of maintenance quickly prices them out.

All it really means is they're making sacrifices to own something nice, it doesn't make them the salt of the earth or anything.

I do maintain that if Brianna actually had a nicely kept old "classic" (in the sense that wouldn't get you kicked out of a classic car meet) that could connect with some older voters but it's not the primary selling point of your fucking campaign, that's a pan shot of you waxing it with a loving expression for maybe a second, before you cut to significantly longer shots of you making speeches about issues, posing with your family, having serious looking discussions with other well dressed people, and wearing an earnest expression while talking to more averagely dressed people which we're supposed to believe are constituents across a large round table of some sort.

The Justice Democrats movement formed on the idea that Democrats lost all three branches of government because they were out of touch with what the American people wanted and need to focus on what people really care about. Wu, on the other hand, has spent the last several months doubling down on identity politics and literally saying that the Democrats needed to move even farther to the left.

At first I agreed that our Wu is Doofus Wu, but I realised, there's probably a world somewhere where Wu failed to ensnare a source of money like Frank and well, people often say that Wu is basically CWC with money. Our Wu isn't even the least successful Wu (insert Horrifying or Optimistic ratings as applicable).

Don't get me wrong, a CWC-esque peniless Wu is more pathetic, but Wu with money is much more entertaining, because it widens the scope of failiure possible.

So does that mean that there's a dimension where John is a True & Honest woman who is everything she claims to be, is a genuinely pleasant person, and little girls aspire to be like her when they grow up?

More like they need to move back to a left that actually includes a majority of the relevant voters that carry enough electoral votes to fucking win something. I know they detest poor people who "happen to be white" so much that this is anathema to them, but as long as they're going to take that attitude, they deserve their 40 years wandering in the desert. Because that's how long it's going to be for them if they keep up this horseshit.

If you've been following this thread at all you'd know John doesn't really occupy the same plane of reality as the rest of us.

That's one of the things that amazes me the most about this ride- the sheer levels of delusion and self-regard that I honestly don't think any other lolcow can manage. I often wonder how Wu sees the world, which to be fair has been pretty kind to him- from his privileged upbringing to his wealthy husband. He talks as though he's addressing millions of adoring followers when in reality his followers are us, some bemused Lynch interns and Jake Alley.
 
So how exactly did John get all the signatures needed to get his name on the ballot? Was Frank not allowed back in the house till he got them all?

There are places you can hire to collect signatures for any old thing. And if Massachusetts is like most other places, the signatures limit can be lowered if you're willing to fork over more cash up-front instead.
