    They’re really trying to figure out reasons to dislike the guy. For some reason, the “leftists” on lemmy.ml hate when a left American politician starts achieving success, and try to tear them down and lie about what a terrible person they are. It’s one of their favorite things; they relentlessly criticize AOC and Mamdani in a way they never would froth at the mouth about Chuck Schumer or anybody who is actually doing real damage.

        Hey, how about Graham Platner’s secret Nazi sympathies? We know he has them, because of the tattoo! I haven’t heard that one for a while.

            A new one! What makes you say that he worked in Abu Ghraib? I did a quick search, and all I can find is a YouTube video by “BadEmpanada.”
