Slop.

It's not a fucking Rick and Morty tattoo, Ben.

It's not a fucking Rick and Morty tattoo, Ben. This goes well past a "bad tattoo choice."

Sentences that feel like they were written by Guy Ritchie and would sound right at home being said in a cockney accent

Doing the thing where they frame it in the vaguest terms possible because they know the details are extremely damning. It's the equivalent of "this SNOWFLAKE got offended because I voiced a non-mainstream opinion" and then it turns out the "non-mainstream opinion" was some shit like Holocaust denial.

military brainwashing is no joke and doesn’t just go away because you decide poor people should be allowed to live actually

I feel like it would be okay for a political official to have PTSD, there are lots of ways to get it. But yeah, the other factors are really bad.

if they really believed or cared that he was "repentant" they would have scrutinized his current views on the military, if only to win an internet argument about him.

Jerkoff emojis as scare quotes is pure fucking art.

i'm leading protracted person's war so that jacobin is referred to either as la jacobiña and el fedcobiño on the hexbear, depending on the current opportunism of the authors. *some might call this quixotic, but those people are haters

doesn't matter, hexbear search is hot garbo

Stalin: Socialdemocracy is objectively moderate wing of fascism

Jacobin: takes it as praise

my beef as person outside of usa is that allegedly leftist influencers torching their cred on him, not him existing as political entity.

i don't give a fuck that some usa state elects a nazi, that's par for the course, their whole senate has been filled with people of this caliber, if not so hands-on. i care that dude that was giving off nazi vibes just by his history alone (nevermind sicko posts or tattoo or current and past sa allegations) somehow passes smell taste of allegedly leftist people (as exemplified by three different authors in fedcobin image in the post). it's like they don't talk to different people and can't clock him in 5 minutes of surface research.

and what are they left with? morally naked, electorally compromised

*and two points for caring about it: (1) local politically plugged-in people are also fed by usa media empire and (2) shows the extent of solidarity usa will have with anyone outside (which is approaching nill, even for alleged leftists)

he already got away with murder multiple times for the military and for private mercs and you were letting him off the hook for it?

no amount of vetting will ever fix the structual problem of putting the cart before the horse. The fundamental strategy of horse in back, cart in front, is flawed at its very core and will never work. You won't find a magic horse that will make it work. Stop searching for magical horses, and start putting your affairs in order. First things first is to create a workers party who will lift up their own internal candidates for nomination, who are subject to party discipline and retraction.

Squishy electoralist leftists often think the critique we issue from their left is that their chosen candidates aren't "pure" enough, so when they inevitable fail (like they always do) their supposition is that they need to go and get an even more pure magical horse this time. You fundamentally do not understand our critique of your entire method of politics and why your succ dem politics always ends up like it does in 100% of cases.

Until there is first a disciplined worker's party from which candidates emerge, electoralism will be a pointless dead end and complete waste of resources because the uncoordinated newcomers will just be subsumed into the system or unable to do anything useful and just blocked out, that's if they even had good intentions and weren't just naked opportunists or feds like this guy. Even once you do have a disciplined socialist party, you can't actually win total control via elections but it may be useful to run in them to gain influence, a foothold of power and to demonstrate the cheating nature of the establishment. A revolution will eventually be required.

And no, the DSA is not a party - nor do they require membership in it to endorse candidates and give resources to them, meaning that every single opportunist can easily grift off the resources of the DSA and there's nothing the DSA can do to enforce any kind of discipline over them.
