    I’d love to know his full context and the rest of what he said, but he sounds insufferable, and I don’t think I could sit through a podcast with his voice.

    First, nothing is more anti american than bashing on people that criticize America. America is not above criticism ya fascist.

    Second, I would also love to hear what these DSA members are saying that are pro Russia and China. Unless he’s conflating being pro socialism with being pro other countries. If that’s the case he is being just as manipulative as republicans.

    My guess is this guy is firm red district and is appealing to like minded people.

    Edit:

    Still, Mr. Moskowitz has an opportunity to preserve a Democratic seat. His race is considered the most competitive in the state. The Cook Political Report rated it as Florida’s only tossup election.

    Do you root for a problematic D to win and use his vote when it counts?
