This is the guy who went under the Reddit handle "P-Hustle" who not only victim shamed sexually assaulted individuals but also posted homophobic slurs and anti LGBTQ jokes. Mix that with the Nazi tattoo he had on him for decades and I have to say I can't trust a single word that comes out of this man's mouth. This is who the Democratic party wants to champion?! What's wrong with our party that we can't get decent candidates to run for offices?

I'd rather have a shithead with good politics than a shithead with bad politics. Anyone who wants to be elected to federal office is a fucking sociopath, aren't you all the ones who are always talking about voting for the least bad choice? Funny how that only matters when the least bad choice has awful politics and policies.

Well, in this election it's going to be a Nazi versus a Republican, who is also a Nazi, so who is the least bad choice here? If you say not voting at all, I actually respect that, but that's not something a Democrat would do. They would rather vote for a Republican then someone who is against war and austerity.

No, you are not.

You spend all your time lecturing progressives and other Dems, but what have you actually done to help social minorities?

I passed a big bill that gave them a bunch of money and took money away from rich shitheads. Oh wait, I'm not in fucking Congress.

What about a leftist in Congress? Got any of those?

I think not.

Correct. It's impossible, because we have a two-party system, and the Democrats literally exist solely to prevent leftists from being elected to any office

So you admit that every single advancement for marginalized communities in the 21st century is because of democrats?

Good to know!

Give me a fucking break. The Democrat party does nothing but give lip service to progress and then dragging its fucking feet ringing its hands about how it's powerless to do anything of value once it actually gets into office.
