-Don't vote for El-Sayed to "punish Donald Trump" (lmao) vs

-"How do you feel about not voting for Kamala Harris" 'righteous' furor

El-Sayed isn't even that leftwing.

"When it comes to the question of socialism, I'm not a socialist. I'm just a capitalist who understands how capitalism works."

...has cited US actions during Russia's invasion of Ukraine and in Serbia during the 1990s as examples of beneficial US intervention.

In September 2025, he said that military aid to Ukraine was about "enforcing the rules of the rules-based international order in accordance with our allies"

He's a garden variety liberal that isn't easily cowed and has a handful of good positions, but one of them is opposition to Israel and another is taxing rich people, so out the window they throw him.
