Can you elaborate on why he's a shit stain of a human being? Genuinely asking, because other than his name being vaguely familiar to me, I've never heard of him before.
Maybe I was a bit too hard. He is a lukewarm left wing liberal. But he remains a US politician and is therefore opposed to the interests of the working class. He remains a capitalist or at best a reformer. And he both sides Israel committing a genocide.
Can we please stop saying "left wing liberal" or implying in any way whatsoever that such a thing does or could exist? Liberalism is a hard-right ideology down to the core and slapping vacuous identity politics stickers on it to get more votes does not move the needle a nanometer. At bare minimum, the left begins at anti-capitalism, otherwise it's just right-wing infighting.
He's not "lukewarm" or "left wing" anything, as this thread makes very clear he's a deranged Zionist freak. He isn't both-siding, he actively supports the genocide and advocates for brainwashing children into Zionism.
He supports Ukraine and advocated (if by presence alone) for a NATO no-fly zone over Ukraine.
