    I think he’s foolish enough to get on board with a presidential campaign which is purely designed to benefit conservative candidates.

    Several people on Lemmy have told me they respect his view or his insight on American society or etc. I’ve listened to a couple of his speeches (including ones that were specifically recommended to me), couldn’t really arrive at anything that was being argued within them other than an occasional vague nod to the idea that imperialism and corporate oppression are bad, came back and asked okay what specific things do you like about what he says? No one yet has even attempted to answer that question.

    He’s a pure spoiler candidate, and one of his top two campaign priorities I ran across trying to get a handle on him was to stop aid to Ukraine. He’s bullshit.

      Several people with discourse worthy of respect or like several “leftists” from .ml instances who took some time between penning love letters to state capitalist authoritarian countries?

        I try to not to prejudge. But the fact that I asked, hey what things, after they told me they love the things that he says, and they didn’t answer, kind of implies one specific answer to the question.
