    Mayo Pete's CIA, but his dad's a Marxist academic, no?

    And while mean words = violence is a bit much, rejecting that doesn't excuse being unrelentingly shitty to people pulling in the same direction you are.

      Nomiki was a Fox News contributor that argued for NATO's war with Libya before she became a "progressive" grifter and started shilling on Sam Seders bs platform for soft-left pro-imperialist tone policing rad-libs.

        She also argued that Cuba needs liberation and that comes in the form of capitalism

        I'm not talking about Nomiki at all. I'm referring to the "like Mayor Pete you're a child of CIA cutouts" bit, which is confusing because I've never heard anything about his dad being CIA. Maybe they were going for a more figurative use of "child of CIA cutouts," but that's odd word choice when the guy's dad is a notable Marxist.

      What does his dad have to do with anything? Mayo is obviously not a Marxist. I see neither violence nor misogyny, just anger in the email.

      rejecting that doesn’t excuse being unrelentingly shitty to people pulling in the same direction you are.

      Isn't that what Nomiki did by accusing Dore of being a shill?

          The guy is able to promote an idea and get it traction. The movement needs more like him.

          Don't you think it's a bit crazy that this has been talked about for three weeks now? Usually this stuff pops up gets some traction than gets swept under the next cycle.
