Also, how fucking funny is it that he was on their advisory council lol.
The dude literally has zero accomplishments except getting to 300k Twitter followers by stanning Elizabeth Warren and doing lib shit -- this somehow means he gets to be an advisor to a "leftist" party lmao.
For those unaware of what's going on, the People's Party recently decided to drop "socialism" from their platform and focus on "progressive populism" that will unite the left and the right hahahaha.

His accomplishment is stepping down from their advisory council. So critical support I guess
Idk what to think of him, but him stepping down because of principles is good.
Less than a year ago his Twitter wasn't ProudSocialist, it was ProudLiberal. Idk about principles with this one.
It was ProudResister, but regardless your point is valid.
It's just like Peter Daou. They both realized they were wrong.
I personally don't like him. Some of the stuff isn't his fault -- like, he might've genuinely went through the Warren to Bernie to Socialism pipeline in the span of 3 months but I really don't like that that somehow means he should be an important voice in socialist circles -- again, it's not his fault if he gets invited to "advisory councils" or various podcast, etc.
Some of the other stuff is his fault though -- like the whole force the vote thing, he was pushing that hardcore and it just didn't sit well for me that he gets to call anyone a lib or whatever, like, you're in the position you're in right now because you did the lib Twitter grift and got 300k followers out of it, you can't now act like you're some hardcore Marxist when you've just dipped your toes into leftism.
It's basically cyclical at this point. He's an important voice because he's an important voice. Basically because he got a bunch of followers then went socialist, he's more important (in some senses) than you or me.
