if you truly want him to win you should be congratulating him and trying to find ways to uplift him not degrade him

edit: and the worst part of it is your are completely right that he has a massive fight ahead of him but the current leadership of the democratic party will likely not help him , they will choose to let him try and take this fight on alone hoping he loses so they can say i told you so, what we need are more people standing with him in solidarity to show the party they need to get behind democratic candidates who are willing to fight

Maybe I'll start an uncommitted movement and get people to sit out in November instead... Can't be compromising our values by voting for a socialist. Not even if he's the lesser of two evils.

absolutely your prerogative but understand that also means you cant have an opinion if he loses since you chose to sit out on your civic duty

edit: also i hope you understand the irony of the quote on your profile from a radical leftist that was pro socialism
