    Add to that he’s the only candidate for anything who came out and called the genocide a fucking genocide. Pretty easy test of character that 90% + of politicians seem incapable of.

      It’s not a test of character, it’s the bare fucking minimum character to be allowed to hold literally any position of literally any responsibility. Like you shouldn’t even be allowed to run a chess club if you don’t call the Gaza Genocide a genocide.

        and if we wanna get into it, he’s denouncing funding the genocide in Gaza while endorsing increasing funding for gencide in latin America. of the candidates left in the field, he gives us the most chance to organize on the margins, but he still sucks. the reality is he sucks because he’s a politician. people who don’t suck don’t get into office. the system isn’t designed for that. still, we have incentives as organizers to get more less worse into office. but we still have to confront that no one can liberate the people but the people themselves.

        shit. i broke my rule. time for another walk
