I don't give a fuck about "splitting the Dem vote". One reactionary mainstream party down is one reactionary mainstream party down. But yeah: this dweeb ain't it. If shitty, counter-factual beliefs about vaccines weren't enough, the political dynasty of his family should at least push people over the edge here.

Glad Cornel West is running, and hope he winds up with the Green nomination so he has a chance at decent ballot access. Unless the GP has an even better, more radical leftist in mind like Howie Hawkins again. He was the nominee of at least two leftist parties last time around, and I'd love to see those parties doing more of the same, like the "left unity slate" a couple of them did in California last year. Good stuff.

I love escalating war and feeding more working-class people to the meat grinder for the sake of capitalists and nationalism.

Uh huh. Your country, too, fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian, I see.

No, but the uni-party that's in power in the U.S. is quite fascist. That has nothing to do with leftism, and I never implied it does. Apparently you missed in my original comment where I made it clear that Biden isn't the only fascist being promoted ("either").

Plenty of fascist policy in Biden's career of politics: mass incarceration—including concentration camps—the “War On Drugs”, union busting and strikebreaking, mass surveillance (e.g. the Patriot Act, which he happily takes credit for), militarization of the police, attacks on journalism and whistleblowers, etc.

Yes, you really should work on getting in the loop.

Or maybe there actually is no progressive side.

Hint: it's this one.
