    Cuba and Venezuela are both legitimately more democratic than the USA.

    Reason I hoped he might be different: looking at whom he upset (Zionists, landlords.

    I thought surely someone who manages to get close to a correct stance on Palestine despite how overwhelming the propaganda is can see clearly and has his head screwed on straight when it comes to other countries.

    I need a better litmus test and more and more it looks like that litmus test has to be: will they call themselves the C word and refuse to demonize any of the US’s official enemies?

      the litmus test is ukraine. it’s easy to be right on palestine. It’s a lot more difficult to be right about Syria or Ukriane

      and to clarify, because I know somebody in bad faith is gonna come in here and give the ‘muh optics’ argument - I’m not saying they have to be pro-russia or have been pro-assad. They just need to oppose arming and funding Ukraine and call for an end of the proxy war, and opposed funding and arming FSA/Al-Nusra/ISIS/Al Qaeda.
