Dude, he’s Kanye.

Those Stone Mountain protestors should just blast the carving with their weapons.

I think I might have said that already or maybe I fell asleep.

I wonder if Kanye will cure the virus.

I don't care if he's Bezos with same-day service,
he's not getting on the ballot when, right now, a quarter
of the country is already closed to new candidates and
very soon it will be half the country, so, no, he will not
be on the ballot.

I didn't say Antifa and I didn't say it was a violent takeover. The cops could've run them out at any time. 3 or 4 shootings later and the mayor decided to do so.

Basically it was an abject failure, though it's not surprising some people refuse to see it as such.

I’m the triple crown champion of the MB elections and I know what it takes to get things done. Kanye will be on every mfing ballot you mark my goddamn words. #vision2020 biatch

Let's say Kanye manages to get on the ballot.

Of the candidates running for the two major political parties, which one would Kanye act as a spoiler for?

Was it really an abject failure though? What was the goal of those who set up the autonomous zone? Was it to permanently establish a zone that was self-governing without any kind of federal or state oversight? Or was the goal to amplify their message through media coverage?

Even then, regardless of their goal, the events that took place, I think, contain lessons for both the left and the right, if we're willing to look at the events without any kind of bias. For the left, one lesson that could be taken is that, without police, those who have the guns will likely fill the vacuum of power. For the right, one lesson that could be taken is that, rather than outright crushing opposition and protest like this with the use of state force, it may be more beneficial to let some things fizzle out on their own.

Was it the '3 or 4 shootings' that prompted Mayor Durkan to end the CHOP, or was it the fact that protestors ended up outside her house?

If Kanye gets on the ballot, Biden better hunt down Cornpop and make him VP.

Nope. It is an electoral impossibility.
... and you being in Florida (?), he might get the nearly 150,000 signatures needed and
fulfill the process within the next week before the deadline, but that would only give him
a potential chance to be on a Florida ballot ONLY and not even remotely guarantee him
to be on a national ballot. That’s a whole different process.

... and, OK, Mr. Neon. Did you win this last non-election too?

Biden would get completely stomped by Kanye in a general election. In the face of dragon energy, he's just a rambling old man.
