He doesn’t establish a platform. He doesn’t appear with any supporters or do anything organizational. He doesn’t seem to do anything except post on TikTok about running for Congress.
Democrats: omg it’s the perfect candidate :so-true:
But mainly, what I was responding to is him having invoked Bernie’s policies in general as unpopular, which is a tired dem move at this point. In general Bernie’s policies were pretty popular across most of the electorate
him having invoked Bernie’s policies in general as unpopular
Sure. But then he’s not running against “Bernie’s Policies”, he’s just running against the Bernie Brand Name.

So popular that they were cannibalized by the rest of the party as soon as he wasn’t an electoral threat. Of course, they never delivered on any of them. But that’s why we need big electoral Ws, right?
Still, I haven’t actually seen what this asshole is running on. All I know is that he’s not Lauren Bohbert and he’s not Bernie Sanders. Oh, and he’s gay, which is a selling point in a district full of homophobes for some reason.

Right and part of that strategy is being the 12000th “what we need is Pragmatism and Hard Choices^tm” dem to lie and say helping poor people is some unpopular, pie in the sky unachievable goal we need to sacrifice for dumbasses like him to get into power and do ??? … something? Lol
Like you say he has nothing hes just hoping to coast on being opposition to republicans and a more “grown up tee hee” choice than the wHaCkY leftos bc it’s honestly somewhat of a proven strategy with a certain type of liberal voter
it’s honestly somewhat of a proven strategy with a certain type of liberal voter
Eh. Its a proven opposition strategy. But I’ve yet to see a Democrat win exclusively by being oppositional to other Democrats. Most successful Dems have some kind of platform, even if it is espoused insincerely. And liberals support the candidate for the platform, not for the left-punching.
