International Conor withdraws Irish presidential bid

[DragRacer]

He’s young, rich and got life by the balls.
Even if he actually was a good candidate that had a chance (he doesn’t) why would anyone like him want the bullshit that goes with politics when he lives the life he currently does?
Plus, some deranged leftist cockroach might try and blow his head off if he actually got elected.

 

[rearnakedchoke]

You mean the guy who was found liable for rape didn’t want anymore history on him dug up? It probably also means that another scandal is about to rear its ugly head. Who knew substance abuse and a god complex would lead to this!

 

[Madmick]

To be honest I'd imagine he's pretty immune to that as he's already got so much dirty laundry that's been aired in public and he doesn't seem ashamed of any of it.

Tell me you know nothing about Ireland or it's politics, without telling me !

He doesn't have a reputation to ruin here, the majority of people just think he's a coked up little knacker, with notions.

I mean right?

What do they got on this guy beyond raping chick's, banging midgets, dick pics with weights, cocaine benders, being a drunk, and general douchebaggery?

There are but you need to stick your head out of the basement and realise Ireland is nothing like the US.

We're not in the habit of voting for coked-up, right wing, rapists. He didn't drop out to protect his reputation or for fear of political assassination. He dropped out beause the general public hate him and his chances of being elected were zero.

How tightly wound are you? It feels like you've been sitting in the dark just waiting for any subject about Ireland to come up so you can prance and preen about the forum holding a bullhorn to lecture everyone in the hopes everyone will suddenly care what you have to say about something.

I didn't say anything about Irish politics. I don't care about your politics. My comments were generalized, and rooted in political culture across the developed world. It's not about mere reputation. Do you believe Conor is perceived as some saintly figure over here Stateside? LOL.

Hell, it possible it wasn't even his family that dissuaded him. Once things got real, he might have gotten sat down with a suit who knows how the sauce is made. Someone like that could put the fear of God in Conor telling him exactly what he could expect if he went through with his campaign, and the potential consequences. I don't know. Neither do you. None of us do. It's all speculation. Understand? You know fuck-all about why Conor made the decision he made. So spare me your "I'm Irish! Pay attention to meeeeeeeeeeee!!!" jig, you knob.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

He probably got in trouble again and its going to be made public soon.

 

[KaNesDeath]

More likely they are smart enough to understand the impact of a campaign to them, and to him. You become villains for a huge amount of people to despise, and cheer against. Your privacy is annihilated. They dig up every bad thing you did or said, not just the candidate, but everyone close to him, and also the people close to them. They scrutinize your finances. A crowdsourced mob passionately pours through your biography and your past with a fine-toothed comb looking for anything to weaponize against you.

The more you succeed, the higher you rise, proportionally the greater this scrutiny and hatred becomes, and the longer it endures. If you rise high enough, if you do enough on behalf of your supporters, you eventually reach a point where it lasts forever. You can never go out in public without someone shouting "Fuck you!", or harassing you.

It's a Faustian bargain like celebrity, but instead of money or the love of strangers, the only meaningful compensation that is guaranteed is power. So if the President is largely some bureaucratic figurehead...holy shit, why would anyone do it?

You are completely glazing over the deplorable acts that are public knowledge regarding Conor. While completely ignoring the facts of his incompetence when it comes to actual governing and how it conflicts with his current redpill lifestyle.

Such messaging by a political candidate has always been a cop out to avoid inevitable public humiliation. Where Conor has been viewed as a national Irish embarrassment since before 2020.

Poor Artem, always a hand short of catching the coat tails to prosperity.

Typical Yankard raging into the void, trying to push some conspiracy based off an American mndset about how things work.

I'm not wound up or sitting in the dark, it's 19:44 here, it wont be dark for at least an hour. You're just projecting because you're clueless of the facts here.

He's unelectable, can't secure a nomination from any party or council and dropped out because he can't even start, let alone win. So go push your conspiracy theories of men in suits, on Twitter, you tool.

Probably missed weight AND pissed hot.

Conspiracy? You're condescending while using words without even knowing what they mean.

I didn't speak of any conspiracy. I speculated, in reaction to a post opining that his family talked him out of it, that if they did talk him out of it, it would be more likely to avoid the scrutiny and harassment being a political figure provokes. This isn't about mere reputation. It's about skeletons in the closet. It's could be about family secrets. It could be about financial history. Nowhere did I justify his past misconduct, portray him as a victim, portray him as someone of conscience or shame, or portray him as politically competent-- much less astute.

You are hyperventilating over the most innocuous, casual speculation into motive.

 

[fingercuffs]

Unfortunate.

Im sure he would have been quite entertaining. And that is what politics has become: Entertainment.

Literally reality TV here. Thankfully didn't turn into it in Ireland. I married an Irish Eamon so I'm kind of involved by the skin of my teeth.

Yeah, it could that all that or it might be that he can't even secure a nomination and he's polling at less than 7%.

Maybe where you live it has..

[BForrester]

That's a shame. I was looking forward to seeing him publicly embarrassed yet again.
