Game developer Brianna Wu plans to run for Congress in 2018 - Polidicks

Brianna Wu has a very interesting interpretation of what "fight" and "win" mean.

[quote]a game developer who stood up for women facing harassment in the game industry[/quote] Like that time she forgot to sign off her developer account before harassing herself? Heroic. [img]http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/911/071/09d.jpg_large[/img]

[QUOTE=Sombrero;51560308]Please don't. Someone who blocks anyone for daring to have a conflicting opinion shouldn't be able to run for any authoritative position.[/QUOTE] ... it's twitter (presumably.) If someone tries to proselytise to me in public, and I tell them no I'm not interested, or worse, tell them to go away. Am I an authoritarian that should never hold office because of that?

As much as I very dislike Wu, a part of me wants to see her win.

[QUOTE=Naught;51560310]imagine if she actually wins[/QUOTE] Pretty sure chat logs with her lauding an incestual pedophile will contraindicate that.

This woman is the poster child for "die cis scum". The two are not in any way similar.

[QUOTE=SenhorCreeper;51560329]"She fought the Alt-Right and Won" Eeeh, not so sure about that :smug:[/QUOTE] apparently blocking people on twitter means you win [QUOTE=27X;51560340]Pretty sure chat logs with her lauding an incestual pedophile will contraindicate that.[/QUOTE] you could say that, but trump won and he's said some pretty damning things. you can't really be certain of much anymore.

well Trump has meme magic so...

[QUOTE=RIPBILLYMAYS;51560325]This is literally what happened to Donald Trump[/QUOTE] so when can she expect your full support

"Fought the Alt Right and won" Won how? All I remember is her making a shit game, saying if you don't like it/her you're a misogynist, and the audience she was desperate to pander too laughing their ass of at her.

After the bizarre outcome of the general election, she might have a chance. I've come to accept that stupidity is welcomed when it comes to politics, so hey, good luck to her I guess.

please don't affiliate with the democrats or greens, please don't affiliate with any respectable political movements and further the notion that the left has been taken over by SJWs

[QUOTE=Naught;51560348]apparently blocking people on twitter means you win you could say that, but trump won and he's said some pretty damning things. you can't really be certain of much anymore.[/QUOTE] Yeah but the difference here is Trump was running as a republican.

If Brianna Wu gets elected then she is directly related to the attack on one of the most influential Canadian video game commentators. [video=youtube;0xC8rdqdTDk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xC8rdqdTDk[/video] For this I will not let this stand and overtake my government through the power of Candidan Mist™ and Timmy Horton's.

[QUOTE=Zephyrs;51560344]Trump appealed to a white majority. This woman is the poster child for "die cis scum". The two are not in any way similar.[/QUOTE] That's not why Trump won, though Trump won because nobody took his chances seriously to a point where the Clinton campaign hardly even bothered to campaign because they just assumed that there was no way Trump could possibly win

It really depends on where she runs and if the DNC backs her, so it's actually annoyingly plausible that she could win a seat somewhere. Though the DNC backing her over better candidates is a pretty big "If".

The right felt marginalized and we got Trump. Now the Left is going to feel even more marginalized so I think we can probably expect crazier and crazier candidates from here on out. Especially now that the status quo has been completely butt-fucked this election. Welcome to the future.

[QUOTE=Svinnik;51560269]didnt she just bitch and scream instead of actually handling things like a rational adult[/QUOTE] it worked for trump

She's literally the female Leftist version of Trump. Perfect candidate if 2016 has taught us anything. I congratulate Senator Wu well ahead of her victory.

[QUOTE=1239the;51560402]it worked for trump[/QUOTE] Trump was also a household name and had millions of dollars.

[QUOTE=AaronM202;51560424]Trump was also a household name and had millions of dollars.[/QUOTE] To be fair, Wu also started up her company with a small loan of a shitload of money. (I think hers actually was a million from her parents too. It was definitely six figures at least.)

[QUOTE=Zephyrs;51560322]20 dollars says she's just being an attention whore and [B]has no intention of actually doing anything.[/B] There's so much dirt on her that she has no realistic chance of winning anything.[/QUOTE] She can't even make a good game let alone a decent "campaign" poster. If anything, she'll just scream more.

Welp 2016 has been weird

Looks like she is even threatening to abuse her power to subpoena people if she wins: [media]http://twitter.com/Spacekatgal/status/807291474668912641[/media] [media]http://twitter.com/Spacekatgal/status/807291801296142336[/media] EDIT: She deleted the tweets, you can find the [url=https://archive.is/PRbwk]archive here[/url].

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;51560430]To be fair, Wu also started up her company with a small loan of a shitload of money. (I think hers actually was a million from her parents too. It was definitely six figures at least.)[/QUOTE] 200k from daddy iirc

Doesn't she demonstrably have mental issues? Isn't there some sort of law about giving mentally ill people power?

this is going to end like when Deray McKesson ran for mayor of Baltimore and there were more write-in votes than votes for him

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;51560430]To be fair, Wu also started up her company with a small loan of a shitload of money. (I think hers actually was a million from her parents too.
