I mean to be fair, legal processes take time

I mean yea he worked for blackwater, having a sticker on the fridge doesn't make that any better or worse lol, I think if someone is okay with him being in blackwater or not this ain't gonna change that

Oh boy I'm so surprised :O

Yea sounds about right lol

I literally did watch the video last time, and tbh I thought I did respond after you sent the timestamp but I'm guessing I like half wrote out a reply, got distracted and never finished lol, gotta love ADHD

Okay so I did actually watch it, basically what I'm getting is that purity testing is good and the only true leftists are the ones he agrees with, and only the furthest of the left deserve that label.

How is this productive? Is coalition building not valuable at all? Id even agree platner isn't a leftist, just progressive at best. But even still, is there no value in supporting him against his conservative opponent?

Also, his comment about the amount of people who have military skeletons in their closet being miniscule is simply wrong. I looked it up, 6% of the population in the US are veterans. In Maine, where platner is running, it's 9%. That's a lot of people, for whom platner being a vet is a massive plus, and on top of that the general culture of respecting vets in the US cannot be discounted, as bad as you may see it.

More candidates like him are needed all over the place, from mayors to congresspeople. He proved that Americans want policy-focused progressivism, on the things that have been broken in this country for far too long.

Mamdani himself may not have the power to implement any national policy, but the race was so national I believe it showed people what is possible.

I mean, he basically had both parties, the president, all the billionaires, and the whole media apparatus working against him, and yet he proved that people like policy-focused progressives, getting more votes than any nyc mayor in like 20 years or something like that (I forget the actual number)

I'd say that was pretty good competition

I watched your video last time, and you just responded with another timestamp. I might go watch it later, but it just takes so much more time then if you cared to write out the core point for once

Text posts are one thing cuz at least it's readable but I don't wanna watch this fuck in order to argue with you

Please just stop posting bad empanada videos

At the very least post a summary of the argument being made

Bruh Is there any politician elected in the last 20 years that you like?

And what the fuck is even your idea of improving this godforsaken country? Armed revolution? Or peaceful nonviolent revolution because nobody is subhuman and deserves to die, and armed revolution would make you a genocidal maniac
