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?

    He is not a socialist or a principled anti-imperialist and he is definitely not going to win, but he has the potential to split the Democrat vote enough that they could lose which would piss off a lot of liberals and create a lot of chaos in the upper ranks of the empire. That is a good thing for us as anti-imperialists. So yeah, critical support for him, i think leftist orgs definitely should champion him under the condition that when/if he drops out they do not endorse that his supporters switch their vote to the Democrats. Voting third party is good for destabilizing the control that the entrenched neolib/neocon duopoly has in the US.

      Something something a vote for a third party is a vote for Trump (or whomever the republican tube of toothpaste is next election) You must vote for the democrat tube of toothpaste (Biden flavoured!) and then, most importantly Do absolutely nothing for the four years. That’s the only way to make sure your voice is heard!
