    Why is this guy so great???

    He is exactly what this country needs right now. We need more progressives to follow in his steps. Maybe one state at a time we can make this place NOT a shithole anymore.

      He is just doing things a lot of people would do if they weren’t easily corrupted by money

      It’s because he’s not American. Americans are selfish, planet destroying assholes.

          They’re not entirely off the mark though. Native-born Americans are pretty spoiled and complacent, on average. Immigrants, even kids, tend to have more of a sense of context and a sort of hustle mentality. My wife’s an immigrant and we’ve talked at length about it.

          You’re right that he’s as American as any other citizen in ways that matter, but born-and-raised Americans are more likely to get swept up in our bread and circuses.

          Now now, that’s not fair. They chose a username that makes them think about advocating for trains every now and then, and while that’s not something, that’s not not something neither.

        If fake leftism gets me real leftist policies, then I’ll take fake leftism so that I can stop worrying about how I’m going to just live each month. Then I can worry about the next 30 years. Glad you’re in such a comfortable and presumably wealthy spot in your life that you get to be upset about good things happening to people
