Eh, I had a libertarian stint in my past. I hate the villany of changing your opinions. "Flip flopping" is one of the biggest failures you can supposedly have as a modern politician (or even person). We should praise people when they change thier views, not condemn them for it.

At minimum, he must be better than Collins. That's the alternative. Even if he doesn't actually believe this stuff, it's still a significant improvement.

I do think he believes it though. I think he has a bad past, and that lead him down some dark roads. However, I think this has taught him some lessons that he's learned from. He sees how shitty he was in the past and has improved. I hope this is true for everyone. If you still hold the same beliefs you did in the past, you're a failure of a human. If you don't see how stupid and ignorant the younger you was, you aren't living a life worth living.

Every article I've seen has this person conveniently unidentified. If a real person wants to put their name to that claim it would carry more weight

The wild part is how the DNC doesn’t even want this guy

You can certainly dislike this guy on his own merits, but DNC approval doesn't mean shit to me these days considering how they snubbed Mamdani. DNC lost any and all credibility with me years ago.

I got to say his interview on the John Stewart podcast a while back made me a teeny bit nervous. He talked about power a lot in a somewhat fascistic framing. Of course a lot of the other things he was talking about was fantastic. But there is that nagging doubt in the back of my mind about him. I really can't say.

I will say I certainly don't believe any of his excuses for the tattoo, and he completely dodged the topic on that interview.

I get where you are coming from. But the idea doesn't jive with his leaked Reddit account and the posts he made. Dude is a Bernie bro in the best possible way.

I dunno, wouldn’t the right wing media leave him alone then?

Ok.

So I guess we’ll just have Sue again then? Or are you planning on running or supporting someone better?

No? Just shitting then?

Ok.

Couldn't care less if he's not learned on symbology.

I care that he thinks people should actually be able to earn a living wage in this country; something apparently no other Democrat is willing to commit to, sans Bernie.

Find someone better who lives in Maine

imperialist warmonger.

I'd want some kind of sources on this one. This here looks a little libelous otherwise, and while I don't expect it's true it's just not a good look.

You're right.

We should all be paying Hillary to make speeches and devastate whole-ass countries again.

That's what represents a good Dem, no?

Totally.

Must be why he's one of the few people labeled 'Dem' who actually publicly opposes war.

Because he's imperialist.
