Feel this is a good accompanying piece for all the folk insisting on caping for a Blackwater merc wth a nazi tattoo because he said something they liked.

Eh. It is really just the same populism we see with trump (actively NOT going to list the “leftist” version of him…).
People don’t actually care about his policies. Otherwise we would have immediately said “Yo, is Smith-Rodriguez willing to get back up there?”. Instead it is all about wanting to capture the excitement of a candidate that Spoke to them and immediately attacking anyone who isn’t via “purity tests”.
I mean… look at how many people clown on AOC because she didn’t actively snub a conference on antisemitism (?). I’m sure that people will eventually find a reason to get mad at Mamdani because he just isn’t <REDACTED>.
And… look at Kamala. Yeah, she is a cop and has shitty views on the genocide committed by israel. But her shitty views were still NOTHING compared to trump’s shitty views. But the discourse IMMEDIATELY became how she is horrible and the worst candidate ever and blah blah blah let’s let trump win to make things even worse for everyone.
Which is why the platner shit is so infuriating. The Left™ will throw away any candidate that is not The Chosen One over ordering the wrong cup of coffee. But when we have a fucking blackwater merc with a nazi tattoo, fucked up views on sexual assault, and zero political background? Yo guys, we need to win elections so let’s give nazism a chance.
Which… REALLY fucking highlights what women, people of color, and our LGBTQIA+ “friends” have been saying for over a decade now.
