of course even white westerners here still simp for him after he's said multiple times how proud he was to help destroy our countries. Fuck the troops all day.

      i don’t really know what you’re arguing here, are you arguing against liberals moving further left? is that not a good thing?

      No, moving people left is a good thing - I didn't mean to make that as muddled as I did

      we’re talking about an electoralist who pretends to be on the left not being able to defend themselves or even realize that they too are/were at some point in their lives, a fucking bastard.

      My comments weren't all that well thought out - I haven't been following Carter closely enough to know exactly what he's said about his service, but I do know it's sort of worthless electorally to admit he was a bastard. Should he? Yes, absolutely, but if it doesn't play with his constituents, and it's only for the very online leftists, then it's a waste of time.

      personal morality is the only factor when it comes to representation.

      Who's he representing? The left as a whole? Did he claim to do that? Did The Squad ever claim to do that? Will socialism get support because all the elected representatives pushing left are paragons of virtue? I don't think it will. Having someone say "yes, I'm a socialist and I got you this school breakfast program/addiction treatment center/school funding" very well could.
