      Because he had to run in the democratic primary in order to have a shot. He’s a member of the DSA tho—I feel like it’s disingenuous to call him just “a Democrat” (same with AOC)

        AOC is a Democrat too, what is the issue? There are factions within the Democrats and she’s in one of them but afaict she is nowhere near as radical as she was depicted as being. Part of that is from getting slapped around by the leadership I’m sure.

        Yeah, he’s not corporate enough. Let’s kick him out. Why do we keep losing? Must be the progressives we keep insisting aren’t welcome.

      Shit I will amend that. Forgot he won the democratic primary. He is still heavily associated with DSA though and this is well known.
