    I guess some people believe the US can become a social democrat country the day after the next midterms, and won’t settle for less than perfect candidates.

    I’ve said this elsewhere, but if the left is so obsessed with purity tests, fascism will win. Your in the US for crisssake, don’t be too picky choosing your allies…

        This is the better candidate. Of the options, he was the one saying “tax the ritch”, “Israel is committing genocide” and “Medicare for all”.

        Both centrists democrats and republicans are terrified of him and digging up anything they can and running disinfo campaigns to discredit him.

          He’s way more dangerous to them than Bernie or Warren, because if Platner wins in purple Maine their whole excuse for running bland centrists will be shown to be a lie.
