          And Donald Trump being president right now is my fault right? Despite the fact that even if every single person that voted third or leftist party voted for Kamala Harris she still wouldn’t have won? That is the leftist’s fault for protesting for free healthcare and not the Democrats for losing easy votes from Center left people?

          That is a fact, by the way. It’s been reported on. No matter how many childish insults you throw at me, even if EVERY SINGLE VOTE that went to Jill stein, Claudia, and. EVERY OTHER SINGLE CANDIDATE COMBINED VOTED FOR KAMALA HARRIS SHE STILL WOULD NOT HAVE WON.

          Now, DSA is a tiny bit different but the DNC is actively working against “you”, and people like Platner keep toeing their line of American military exceptionalism and nationalist rhetoric against brown people.

          No matter how much you insult me, it also doesn’t change the fact that this guy went to the Middle East during one of the most brutal, violent, genocidal, torturous campaigns ever seen. And then he went on Reddit and bragged about it. About killing non white people.

            Graham platner has never been close to power, your attempts to stretch his own sins to the level that both the Dems and Republicans have is intellectually dishonest. Its just about on the level of people given him hell because he made a joke about beatin it in a portajohn while he was in the middle of a warzone.

            Your analysis of Platner’s “military exceptionalism” falls flat considering how many times he has openly opposed it and used his platform to denounce stupid wars of choice, like Iraq and Iran.

            That’s why I “hurled insults” at you, because I am tired of the ever changing cavalcade of purity tests (.ml exemplifies this) that leads you intellectually impotent clowns to shoot yourselves in the foot EVERY TIME.

            Platner is a person, flaws and all, and has lived a life that has put him in positions that have no good decisions. I can relate, since my life has been jumping out of one frying pan and into another to get by. I hope we can build a future where everyone has the ability to hold the luxury beliefs that you Marxist-leninists get to indulge in.

            We need practical solutions, not theory. That’s why nobody listens to you or people that think like you.

              Nobody listens to me, is that why people like Platner are using progressive “antiwar” policies to appeal to leftists? Or is that socialism and reading books is stupid? lol, Graham’s most popular and most progressive policies are based off 100+ years of Marxist economic theory buddy, as Neo liberalized as it is.

              Ever wonder where the “socialist” part of “Democratic Socialism” comes from?

                We’ll he did call himself a communist as early as 2021, long before he had any political ambitions. Which leads me to the conclusion that his beliefs are sincere.

                And if the Epstein class is going to piss away all the money that they are putting towards trying to stop him, it leads me to believe that they believe he is sincere as well.

                  Yeah and Obama said he’d end the war. Liberals will believe anything. Also, if be willing to bet you would call real communism, meaning places like USSR, Yugoslavia, Vietnam, Venezuela, Burkina Faso, China and Cuba are bad because authoritarianism right? And we have to lend power to fascist neolibs with Nazi insignia tattoos because real leftism would challenge the billionaire class and the military industrial complex as a whole, and Capitalist politicians are beholden to the same companies and donors that the Epstein class is? Mind you, democrats, republicans AND Apolitical powerful people were involved with Epstein and pedophilia. Yes, democrats other than bill clinton.

                    All you are doing is trying to enforce credendialism. He is telling people to organize and unionize in their communities, speaking on class warfare openly in the US, which is crazy to think id live to see the day that happened, seeks to end the wars of choice the US has engaged in, end the genocide being conducted by the israelis, etc.

                    Authoritarianism IS bad. Saying otherwise just proves you are not actually for working class liberation, but just want to be the ones to replace the Epstein class.

                    Your attempts to pin the current failings of the system on him are meaningless, he has not ever been close to power. That’s the whole point of class solidarity, bud, trying to nitpick about his “working class creds” is just doing the Epstein class’s work for them.
