Tropical Soulvangelical has determined that Tim Walz made the Clooneycratic choice of withdrawing from public life rather than tackle baseless charges head-on that TSV believes a reasonable person sees as politically motivated. It's both Cloonycratic and reminiscent of Jerry Nadler and also fellow Minnesotan Charles Schulz who in life characterized himself as mostly too passive to deal with certain life challenges and that's why you got Charlie Brown. TSV anticipates that the intellectualists will try to tell people to go down to the proverbial library and "bone up" on the specifics of "fraud" charges against day care centers, but that it would be a waste of time. Now that Tim Walz had announced he no longer seeks reelection as Governor of Minnesota, you can best believe that -no one- will go back to the charges to see if they're legit. TSV figures that if they did so, they'll find that they're not. TSV also rewound the tape back to when Kamala Harris said she picked Tim Walz to be her running mate, and how now looking back the Harris Walz campaign was mostly a Clooneycratic exercise that forsook the Spirit Of 46 sense of principle that Biden followed. It wasn't as prevalent to TSV at the time, because he didn't know then what he knew now about how Kamala Harris most -certainly- was not Joe Biden, but in saying so, TSV figures that's a -bad- thing for Kamala Harris. Now that Clooney is out of the country, having forsaken America in favor of the south of France, TSV doesn't think Kamala has anything to lose by reconsidering Clooneyism in favor of the Spirit Of 46 as her one-time home base from 2021-2024, but he's not holding his breath. But what about Bernie and Bernieism? TSV sees Bernieism as the crux of the logical fallacy of if-not-one-then-the-other, that if Clooneyism is wrong, it -must- mean that Bernieism is "right," and it's not. Both Clooneyism and Bernieism are wrong, at least as much so as Trumpism is, so why is that? It's because all three philosophies are morally deprived and at the very least turn a blind eye to the social disease of personal corruption. Never did TSV hear Bernie, or AOC, or Mamdani -ever- say, with any sense of sincere conviction whatsoever, that -they- are the ones to tackle personal corruption, and there's a good reason for that: they refuse to do so (among other things, being pro-drug and not supporting straightedges), so why should TSV waste his time with them any more than with the Clooneycrats or the -trumpists-? TSV's flavor of None Of The Above is borne of the value of principle he has always seen in Biden with the Spirit Of 46, no matter those times TSV himself saw Biden as not correct on a couple of things that TSV can count on just one hand. This fact, in turn, informs TSV all he needs to know about the situation with Venezuela. TSV doesn't mind Maduro being taken out of power, but that the operation in Venezuela is a quagmire that all three of the above amoral sectors will use as a wag-the-dog distraction from their own shortcomings.
