    he is becoming more reactionary

    how? He was always kind of a radlib but I don't really see a shift in his tone.

    So did a lot of self proclaimed leftists, it was clearly a tactical error but I don't see that as evidence of him becoming more reactionary. Platner's platform by itself wasn't more reactionary than AOC's or any other mediocre socdem candidate. It's not exactly the first time he glazed a bad candidate, he gets caught up in electoralist bullshit regularly.

    "uhh who's similar to the Neo Nazi SAer who did 4 tours in Afghanistan and Iraq? let me think of the first brown liberal I could remember"

    Fuck AOC for being a lib, fuck her for talking about "defensive weapons of israel", but she wasn't on the field bombing Afghan kids, she doesn't having Nazi tattoos on her, she's not even remotely comparable to Captain Swastika over here

    He is probably only going to be more reactionary, but it's because of the DNC, not fucking Haaretz. Why would Haaretz convince him of anything? They just gave the same dogwater talking points that he has been refuting for years.
