He look, a tenuous reason to cancel one of the left's most effective and popular leaders, get his ass!

Look who's posting. Anyone who isn't a literal communist is just too imperfect for them. Don't you dare criticize Russia or China or North Korea, though.

It's the 'tan suit' criticism with these people, just disregard them.

I downvote soley over blue checkmarks.

If the poster is paying for extra engagement on Twitter, at this point, there is nothing authentic about their posts. And I don't want to amplify that even indirectly.

harry truman ordered more nukes dropped than any other president too.

meaningless statistic though when reality is taken into account
