Ironic considering how he’s the most vocal Zionist on the campaign trail. Not so different after all. It’s sickening some “leftists” and even “Marxists” support this guy.

Maybe now disaffected progressives will stop championing this douchebag's campaign?

I am pretty sure this guy had zero supporters outside of Twitter and Qanon.

Eh I've met a few. Self-described "leftists" who don't actually engage in anything beyond the theatre of electoral politics.

Tell that to the rightist trot in the patsoc student group I left. He was whining about his freeze peach to assign RFK Jr’s book to his students (he was a professor I think). I spent too much time debating him before I stopped responding. He responded to my disengagement by calling me an authoritarian Stalinist.

I’d classify trots as a type of terminal Twitter ideology.

The second they can set up a successful revolution or government; then I’ll consider looking at them like a legitimate organization.
