Idk he did introduce me to socialism and communism and turned me from a lib to a commie but idk i guess im more to the left of him now? Im just tired of him being the talking head of the dnc at this point

I think this is just role. He's "mellowed out" to try and exist as that missing part of the radicalization pipeline. You don't have to think he's perfect or anything, but that role does have a major impact on future organizing efforts.

He's also unique in that most people I know who have followed him are now to his left, he doesn't have the rabbit followers that someone like Destiny or Asmongold have who literally do crimes when their god is offended.
