    Eh, most political streamers are just entertainers that engage in political action or speech. Locke and demosthenes eventually won office through their eloquent writing. H3 for example has a pretty big following, but his engagement with political topics is often Joe rogan level “woah that’s crazy” with no substance. He did do well in debates after coaching, but still leaves a lot to be desired.

    Let me know when he or destiny or someone wins an election.
