    I confidently claim he’s worse for 2 reasons: 1 he talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk.
    I have no respect for people who don’t fight in an underhand manner.
    2 Like I said, people like him are put there to project an image of progressiveness to hide the evil core doctrine of the corporate dem party.
    Whitout those snakes at least more people would realise they are not alternative to Reps but more of the same corporate oligarchy politicians.
    Which ironically leads you to your much heard defeatist claim that 3rd parties can’t work.
    All this is completely incomprehensible to me (and other Europeans I presume) in a healthy democracy.
    I’ve seen plenty parties start with 2% of votes and in a few elections get 10 to 40 or more.
    Why do you think it’s dems that try to move heaven and earth to keep them off the ballots? They are a viable threat.
    There’s plenty of base to start in the US, even if it’s a country with a terrible and pacified ‘please vote for the esser evil’ mindset.
    You can lose with the 3rd party or lose anyway voting for dems.

      You’re a European? And you’re telling me how the Dems are the same as the Republicans? I’m done with this conversation.

        Besides being pacified and dumbed down and unfamiliar with resistance, americans are also not able to think outside their narrow box.
        Locked in their binary thinking.
        As far as the world is concerned it doesn’t matter what ‘side’ of the same coin invades, bombs weddings, supports genocides or regime changes.
        So yes, it’s the same.
        It only matters for people in the banana republic themselves.
        But they never learn, so enjoy what you deserve.
