not sure tweeting yourself in a Dead Kennedys t-shirt is advisable when you're running for the Democratic nomination
but I gotta say "California Uber Alles" seems to be a winning campaign platform in the primary
He is coming for your uncool niece
nothing's more PUNK RAWK than mandatory electric vehicles
I don't think punk has ever been consistent politically, other than being DIY / semi-anarchist / anti-conformity. You don't really have to be punk to be punk. Greatest punk of all time was Johnny Cash IMO
There is just as much - if not more - evidence that Johnny Cash was left wing and not right wing.
And Johnny Cash also defied network executives and invited Pete Seeger to perform on his TV show, when Seeger was prime time radioactive due to his commie ties.
Punk rock has been around 45 years, or 60+ years if you want to go back to Link Wray, or the Wailers. It's always been anti-conformist, while left-right politics have cycled over who is the most fanatical conformists. Right now they're tied.
