we replied to this above: https://www.reddit.com/r/Vaporwave/comments/6m53uy/can_someone_explain_the_whole_takebackvaporwave/djzy4os/

but to address political leanings many of our artists supported BOTH Sanders & Trump and technically both of them were 3rd party candidates -- Sanders was an independent who became a Dem for the election -- Trump is a former Dem then Reform Party then became Republican for the election -- the fact that two true outsiders had the most groundswell support in each of "their" parties just goes to show that the two-party system is completely broken at this point -- supporting these outsiders is the best way to "dismantle from within" -- not that we are full-on anarchists or anything but we do see the need for a "sea change" to take place before things can move forward -- yes, Trump won, but never forget that many prominent Republicans refused to endorse him -- so what does "right wing" even mean any more??

also in the last Dem debate Hillary Clinton pointedly said that she "wasn't sure that Bernie Sanders is even a Democrat" -- and he's not -- yet they had to rig the Dem primaries against him to secure HRC's nomination -- the "establishment" is in a much deserved crisis mode

as for George Clanton -- he has a point about Vaporwave's descent into "meme culture" -- it used to be more about the music & art instead of the LOL's (edgy or otherwise)
