The guy sounds reasonable. I'd vote for him for president.

Too bad he's light on specifics here - basically "we have to DO something!" - but his more detailed message includes repeal Citizens United, increase billionaire taxation, improve public infrastructure, fix up and use old homes to create low-cost housing, and other things. Creating an economy of owners and renters and squeezing out the homeowner class has been the trend for decades. It's been called modern feudalism and other things, but it's not new at all, it's making steady progress, and it shows no sign of slowing down.
Stop boosting this imperialist warmonger.
Find someone better who lives in Maine
Isn't this the guy that said he didn't know his nazi tattoo he got while spreading imperialism and killing brown kids for money was a nazi tattoo and because he's still in the first stage of the Fetterman Tactic™ everyone moved on and pretended he was totally reformed from being a nazi-tattoo wearing storm trooper that definitely killed brown children for money?
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.
So the answer to 'hey this guy is a nazi who likes killing children' is 'HURRRRRRRR BUT ARE YOU GOING TO RUN INSTEAD, NO? WELL WE JUST HAVE TO HAVE A NAZI THEN HURRRRRRRR'
Fascinating how the far-right mind works.
Yep, kinda thought you were ridiculous. Thanks for removing any doubt.
its not ridiculous to oppose imperialism and nazism even if there is no electoral opponent with winnign chances currently thats silly talk. Stop defending imperialism so you can get more of a cut of the benefits you ghoul.
Enjoy being bewildered by him voting along side trump 90% of the time by his 6 month mark while upvoting posts with the tagline 'how could we have possibly seen this coming... again... for the 20th time in the last two election cycles.'
Dude. Just put the meth down already. It’s bad for your health.
Hey maybe I'm wrong and this won't be yet another '"progressive" cishet white guy with a clear history of far-right behavior and beliefs that turns out to just be far right and not reformed.' I'd be happy if that were the case. Hasn't been so far but hey I'm rooting for you guys. Maybe you guys can reform.
It's smart to be skeptical but not to be ridiculous.
I'm pretty sure 'ridiculous' doesn't enter into it when the dude had a nazi tattoo.
I saw the tattoo. I never would have thought it was Nazi. Sleazy biker trash, absolutely. I had to read up on it to know it was Nazi. And I was raised on The Discovery and History channels. So I'm not without some knowledge on the topic. It was an absolutely stupid decision but from what I've seen, tattoos before your mid thirties almost always are.
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.
who defends imperialism whenever possible and promises to continue who literally signed up to kill people for fun
He defends imperialism in what way? I'm not sure we're talking about the same person at this point
He supports the current military budget and joined to kill people serving four tours and then serving as a mercenary for the excitement of killing people. He argues for massive shipbuilding buildup to "combat china", he supports extended benefits for military members to increase recruitment and on and on. He is not quiet about this his main problem with the current military isn't its action but what he views as waster and bad spending.
I dunno, wouldn’t the right wing media leave him alone then?
No? He's an imperialist but some of his "domestic" policies aren't in alignment with the republicans? Thats not hard to look at
I'm not sure I understand what point you could possibly be making about the nazi you are implicitly supporting with this comment?
I’m saying if he’s about to pull a fetterman, wouldn’t the right be letting him fly under the radar?
That's the opposite of how they treated fetterman so why would they do that in this case? Fetterman was constantly lambasted by right-wing media when he was still stage one fetterman. If there were some precedent for your idea that right-wing media is competent enough to have a conspiracy like that I might agree with you; but lets be honest they're not.
