That's not treating him like Ben Shapiro. The point was that when people here make fun of trivial bullshit like appearances here, the reason they do it is because they dislike the person's politics, and Shapiro is just a common example of that.
But yeah, I don't really disagree with you. NJR has some bad takes but the US is probably never going to have a viable leftist movement that is too sectarian to see him as an ally. People seem to think that because communist movements a century ago in another continent were powerful enough to not always ally reformist socialists and instead fight against them, that we should do the same now.
Leftists express much more contempt when making fun of Shapiro. Just because you ridicule 2 different people doesn't mean you are treating them the same.
It's often hard to see the difference. For instance, I haven't seen a Ben Shapiro dunk thread on here in maybe a month, while NJR gets bagged on every other day.
We need a much lower tolerance for leftist infighting if we're going to get anything done.
Is that true? Tbh I feel like I don't see a ton of either. A quick search of "Shapiro" and "Robinson" however appears to show that they are both brought up dunked on somewhat regularly.

A better indicator is searching my comments for "he's good folks".
Really? I'm not SUPER online, but I feel like I haven't seen a NJR dunk thread in like a month
