      Maybe by "Maverick side" they mean like Tom Cruise in Top Gun: really enthusiastic about guns and missiles, and just fighting imperialist wars in general?

      Don't forget other people bestowed with the "maverick" title: John McCain, Sarah Palin

      Real. Cool. Club.

    As a leftist, Fetterman, Sanders, and AOC have done more to make me give up on the US electoral system than any right winger possibly could.

      Imperial core socdems just want social services on the backs of global south. Its why they vote for more war and US military interventions every time.
