Regardless of him being socialist or not the fact is he's just doing his job. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago Sure, but there a shit ton of people who say that because he’s a socialist, everything will go to hell.
