“Oh my God, I want a hot president,” Jennifer Welch of the I’ve Had It podcast said in an interview last week. “Hot democrat alert,” posted Democratic influencer Keith Edwards in response to a video clip of Sam Forstag, a 31-year-old smokejumper running for one of Montana’s two House seats. If you search Jon Ossoff’s name on X or TikTok, you’ll be met with a number of thirsty posts calling the Georgia senator a “total hottie.”
“Jon Ossoff—there was just something about him,” said the content creator Qondi Ntini, who runs what can best be described as an Democratic thirst-trap X account, where she frequently refers to Ossoff as “Senator My Boo.” She’s raised thousands of dollars for Democratic candidates through the account and has been invited to the White House and the DNC as a part of their content-creator programs.
“The way I see thirst and the people that I choose to support, it’s more about their values and what they can do for their constituents. The hotness stems from that, and it makes them hotter. It’s also kind of a rebuke of toxic masculinity,” she added.

We don’t fucking need “hotter”.
We need some fuckers who can start straightening out the rampant damage to the U.S. (ALL aspects) caused by the orange faced shitgoblin in the white house.
I mean, when Forstag’s press circuit looks like this…

Electing a random Lemmy user would even be an improvement
Implying we’re aren’t fire 10/10s.
Are we not chiseled by the Greek gods themselves? Are my superior calves and soft flowing locks a joke to you??
Those are the ones with the small pee pees right
A subtle sign of civility and refinement. 😌
Reeeally subtle
President Beep?
US podcast culture has speedrun world enshitification. Have some of the dumbest humans to have ever walked this earth spout nonsense for “content” and brainrot anyone reached by the sound waves…
some podcasts are better than others… e.g. philosophize this, planet money, darknet diaries…
I guess you mean the talk-radio type podcasts where 2/3 of the time is just banter…
There are some good podcasts, hardcore history comes to mind, however, the civilizational cost of people like Meathead Rogan, Theo Von, Andree Tate et al is too high to be covered by the good ones.
Whenever I see a leftist shilling for the Democrats, I always just want to say: "Do you have any idea how much they hate you? They hate you so much."
Leftist and Dems are incompatible. Centrist at best, socialized healthcare is centre, as is taxing those who have too much. A leftist would like to abolish the system that gives rise to the billionaires in the first place.
People want progressive candidates not hot shills.
OP article was prolly written by Clavicle
Unfortunately dnc only wants shills so will fight any alternatives harder than the gop
I don’t think the DNC really cares about winning. They just want those $$$ to keep flowing.
No. Give me a Danny DeVito type campaigning on nationalized healthcare and the end of ICE over a Chis Hemsworth clone spewing the same corporate democon bullshit.
That’s not far from what we had with Bernie.
But Danny DeVito is the biggest thirst trap of them all!
Hell yeah, he is!
It’s gonna be a very classy affaaaiirrr.
OOOOORRRRGY
Maybe back on Taxi, but it’s easy to look like an adonic sex god when you’re standing next to Judd Hirsch.
Give me a Danny DeVito type campaigning on nationalized healthcare
That was Bernie Sanders. He ran for the Dem nom for president twice. He lost twice.
That was the joke though?
This stupidity is what led to Trump. I don’t want a fuckable candidate. I want a capable candidate.
I’m actually seeing a real lesson from the Mamdani campaign here. Not the one I really want to see them learn, but they learned something, at least.
Are you admitting you find Trump fuckable? That’s… brave.
Ewwwww… You are banned.
Y’all don’t think Sanders is the cutest guy?
He hasn’t done enough cameos as Dany Devito’s cousin or whatever. Probably still invisible/“yesteray’s news” to these DNC shills even if that were to change.
😍
This whole article sounds like it’s really stretching to stitch together a narrative.
I’ve Had It podcast? Keith Edwards is a Democratic influencer and not a former reality show contestant? Qondi Ntini, an Instagram account with less than a thousand followers?
Half these “trends” that get articles are really just two people doing something stupid.
How many people were actually eating Tide pods? I seriously doubt more than a handful.
And yet, unsurprisingly, other commenters here are lapping it up and using it as yet another reason to hate the Democrats.
Real progressive thought leaders, this lot.
Also hinting about wanting non-geriatric candidates?
That’s ageist, the greatest sin of all in the DNC. You CAN’T say that, but you can always call Bill Clinton hot. What? You would rather Obama run again? Sorry, he’s too young, unqualified, soft on crime …
And wears tan suits! Unqualified.
Don’t laugh.
Oh I’m not laughing. They’re really pulling out all the stops to try and lose, and it’s appalling.
What would be motivating them to win? Does anybody even get fired when they lose? Do they lose any voters when they lose?
The I’ve had it women are generally not shallow like that on their videos. They are legit. Surprised about this. It must have been a joke.
Is that how they think Trump got elected?
I’m terrible at judging men’s attractiveness, but I remember someone who is much better at that looking very closely at his picture to recreate something and going, “holy shit that guy is ugly”.
