Comment on That's why it's called science fiction duh

He was very critical of the DNC candidates during the election. Saying he wasn’t pro-union and talking about how unfit Biden is for office, etc. He also seemed to be very critical of socialism in the USA. He seems to take a controversial stance on every possible subject, possibly just to promote his podcasts and live shows.

He comes off as one of those people who doesn’t want anybody on the left to win, but he just doesn’t support the right, either.

Sonce when being critical of DNC == “A lot of disinformation”?

He’s literally on the board of a union and everything I’ve seen him say is very pro union, I think you may be taking something out of context.

  Connover said Biden wasn’t pro-union.

When was he critical of socialism? I saw him once interview a socialist who said socialism in the USA was on life-support. That’s all I could find.

  Exactly. His defeatism was criticism. His alarmism was dissuation.
  
  Look, I’m not labelling him the enemy or anything, but I just don’t like the guy.

    Personally saying that socialism is half-dead seems like a good description to me. It was also seen as an improvement from being totally dead in that interview. Adam himself is a union guy so he definitely seems not defeatist.
    
    In any case I can understand your position. I personally dislike quite a few people in the movement even if I don’t see them as enemies.

Biden wasn’t pro-union, and he was unfit for office. Sounds like Conover was absolutely right

    Option C lost the Primary by 10 Million votes in 2020 and didn’t even compete in the 2024 Primary.
    
    Fuck off with your fantasies. You had option A or B.
