I haven’t looked much into him yet but he checks a lot of good boxes.

Is he someone that leftists could back?

Is there any dirt that people have dug up that I’m not aware of?

If we wanted to champion him, could the leftist orgs unify and help him?

Do I sound like a dirty reformist(God pls no)???

Thoughts? Opinions?

    I’m positive about his figure but knowing bourgeois Democracy he will 100% lose.

    Aside from that, his campaign will be a net positive, I don’t have a crystal ball (for now) but I hope we’ll see a Bernie campaign 2.0,with a lot more people pushed to the left. He’s a lot cooler than Bernie too. So that could help radicalizing people more to the left than simply “let’s curb the excesses of corporatism” and more towards “let’s find a better system period”

      The main reason I made this post was because he gives me big Bernie energy. Someone that could help scoot a few more people over to the actual left hopefully. Even if he won’t have a chance to win. I’m way more left than Bernie, for example, but he did help me wake up to healthcare, education, worker rights and other issues in the states.

      Aside from the freedom fighters tweet, he could be useful for agitating at least. I’m probably be way too hopeful though.
