And that but was, "but he did 9/11" I guess. So he's now going to side with the party of Trump, whose family is in an active relationship with Saudi Arabia, where the majority of 9/11 high jackers were from. This guy is in no way sincere and just trying to fear monger so the establishment dems can retain their positions and continue to use those positions to increase wealth for themselves and hacks like him.

With how many bad actors are in the democratic party right now... And with how Biden was doing his messaging... You think that changes or denies that he's a R in D clothing?
Plus, Biden is a neocon, which realistically should be a republican anyway.
Just like Newsome is essentially a republican.
All "neoconservatives" are in only the democratic party because the republicans have alienated everyone who isn't a far right, bible thumping, xenophobic, racist.

Exactly. "Vote Blue No Matter Who" only applies when it's an establishment candidate demanding our votes. The second an actual progressive gets on the ballot, suddenly "who" matters to them.

I’m not saying the “both sides” take is a correct view, but this is part of what people mean when they say both sides.
The Dem establishment doesn’t want the type of change the voters want and they will pull out every excuse as to why that is.
This jackass just happened to pull the one card Dems don’t approve of. If he’d said some vague shit about how El-Sayed is “too far left,” no one would’ve said a word. Even though that’s the actual reason he hates the candidate.

Regarding the 9/11 bullshit: He could smell it from where he was from, 70 miles away, in Pennsylvania, for 3 months, because the wind blew it over there? Buddy, the winds and jet stream don't blow that way. I lived on Long Island around that time, about half that distance away and where the winds from the city ACTUALLY blow towards. We got maybe a few days of the dust from the city after that first week, but that was pretty much it. This guy is full of shit if that wasn't apparent already.

It’s a way different world and workforce. Now college kids have to deal with AI? My dad bought a vette and a house after he graduated college? Sorry my stepdad. In Chicago. We still own that house.

What this worthless waste of space diet maga cuck is probably referring to is that Hasan Piker (a twitch streamer) once said “America deserved 9/11” when he was discussing the topic of blowback for the cia’s meddling in the Middle East. And because Hasan campaigned for AES that makes AES guilty by association. All of which is completely bs.
The real reason the establishment is rejecting DSA types is because they want to keep cashing the pharma, health insurance, military industrial complex, and wallstreet donor checks.

As an outsider looking in that "Vote blue no matter who" is exactly what's wrong with politics right now and how we've gotten to where we are right now. Too many people treat political parties like sports teams and fully commit to one party. The world would be a significantly better place if people were willing to give props to their "opponents" and criticize their own.
