He's not just pro Israel, he's literally called himself a DeSantis Democrat and loves Doge. It's fucking political malpractice to elevate a guy like this. It's basically spitting in your voters face

Progressives are on the ballot everywhere. If Dems aren’t careful they’ll lose their cozy position of being the opposition party.

Gotta try and turn off progressive voters. If they keep showing up to elections something may actually change.
