    While I don’t agree with your opinion on the situation I appreciate your overall composure here.

    I will share that, from my perspective, he speaks for a far more radicalized and younger left voice (read: that does not mean I am arguing against the reasoning behind that radicalization nor against radicalization either) which is a voice that crucial to be heard.

    The left in America, overall, has capitulated far too much to the center for the sake of ‘stability’ and yet, here we are, with a populist radical conservative destroying the foundations we need to progress forward.

      Yeah i just dont get why hes treated like a saint. He seems like a pretty bad person, but a usefull one. I completely agree that politics need to change in the us, in the whole world actually, but people like him are useful to gether and teach masses in the beginning but after that are a bad influence.
