Serious question. I'm vaguely familiar with him as a political commentator on the left, but the more I see of the guy, the more I think he's just a liberal.

He's just another left-liberal who thinks THE solution is taxing the wealthy and having stronger unions, as if those are even viable options under a bourgeois democracy.

I stopped even paying attention to him when he first ran under The People's Party, a group of/closely-tied to LaRouchites. I assume the grift is to just get money from whatever Bernie supporters haven't moved further left since 2020? I dunno, anyone still falling for this song and dance should read "Left-Wing" Communism: An Infantile Disorder by lenin-pensive
