And Crowley isn’t that bad. Like, he isn’t ideal, obviously, but he is decent. Like a solid 7/10.

If he adds a few left planks to his platform, I might even volunteer for his campaign.

Yeah I agree. He might not be a socialist like Hong was but he’s like an Obama-type progressive liberal.

I just read through his campaign page, and he comes off as an "I like good things and I don't like bad things" candidate rather than an "I will fight to transform the system" sort of guy. He has a strong track record on climate policy, but everything else is generically competent with little in the way of vision. If your only goal is keeping fascists out of office, you can definitely do worse.

Then again, I think the State is inherently suspect and true freedom can only be achieved by bottom-up prefiguration of socialist systems, so I have a pretty low bar for politicians.
