    Yeah, there’s way too much uncritical celebration of Zorhan. Of course I don’t expect a demsoc to be Lenin, but he made that comment about Venezuela just three months before Maduro was kidnapped. Trump fixed his sights back on Cuba not long after and we’ve seen how that’s going.

    I guess everyone’s expected to move on from this, but it feels like abandoning my principles to just let it go. Tbh it’s frustrating to see how many people are fine with doing so.

        he was asked a gotcha question by a gusano talk show host during the campaign and he gave a shitty response because he was caught off guard being accused of wanting to be a scary communist authoritarian dictator

        that gusano talk show host knowing I could buy but this is just deranged

          Caught off guard or gave a pre-meditated answer? I don’t believe he didn’t spare a thought about the matter, given the not insignificant hispanophone minority of NYC.
