Crosspost from TYT thread:
So Ana's given indications for some time that she's getting worn down by her TYT spotlight:
While she's probably paid in a sum only second to Cenk, and must pull at least high-five- to low-six-figures, she's made some comments that indicate she's unsatisfied with her pay. Oftentimes on air she's barely able to contain her contempt for Cenk's cringe jokes and playacting; she also seems to be more of a "true believer" lefty than obvious grifting "how do you do fellow progressives" Cenk, and has voiced her disdain for Biden and establishment Democrats, even if she knows she has to reign it in now that he's the nominee. She can't handle online criticism, going so far as to whine to the U.N. about her online "harassment." Four years of Trump have put her in a state of perpetual exasperation.
Given, all that, I wonder if Wu could be a wedge for an entertaingly acrimonious separation of Ana from TYT. A steady trickle of tweets and YouTube comments that both praise Wu and conversely highlight what a pandering shitbag grifter he is. A healthy mix of stuff along the lines of:
"It's great Cenk found a strong tech-savvy woman that can stand up to harassment to partner with for his new PAC."
"Ana's been looking stressed recently, so it's nice Cenk was able to find another smart woman to partner with. And Brianna actually has fundraising experience!"
"I hope this PAC focuses strongly on women's issues. Brianna has the strong voice we need to really get them the attention they deserve."
"Brianna Wu rides a sportbike, speedruns video games, does her own welding, and is a world-renowned expert on online harassment. And she does it all while looking stylish and professional. Could Cenk have picked a cooler partner?"
"Keep fighting, Cenk! Both you and Brianna have the conviction and experience to know we actually need to get involved in politics, and not just complain on YouTube!"
vs
"How much salary is Wu paying herself to sit around all day making these terrible ads that do nothing to support progressive values?"
"How come Wu hasn't campaigned for or endorsed the highly qualified progressive candidate that's challenging homophobe and corporate Democrat Stephen Lynch in her home district?"
"This fake progressive has been shitting on Bernie Sanders and his supporters since 2015. (citations provided)"
"Has anyone ever been able to produce a diploma or actual list of work experience or research for this "software engineer/cybersecurity expert?"
"Is Brianna going to steal all Cenk's fundraising contacts like she stole the designs for her game from John Flynt's "Election Eve" comic?"
If she ended up seeing too much of that, I think this might break Ana.
