Like, not knowing about it when you have had nothing to do with it is one thing. American education legitimately sucks, I get it. Not knowing about it when it has been tattooed on your chest for the better part of two decades, though? Come on now. Even if that were true (it is not, he absolutely fucking knew) it should be disqualifying because you shouldn't want to put someone in a position of power who is so incurious that they wore a Nazi symbol on their chest for nearly 20 years without ever looking into it!

Not just a position of power, but a ‘progressive’ who’s going to take on both the democrats and the republicans without getting sidelined, co-opted, or paid off. If he were genuinely that clueless, we could expect him to be a talked into staunch zionism his first week in office, and then a year after his term ended, say he just found out that that meant supporting isreal.
