    To turn on him establishment Democrats would have had to have had any other stance regarding him. Unfortunately most are just learning about him and assume the stupidest possible stance.

      They’re told he took the stupidest possible stance by a lobbyist and just took it as fact to keep some donors happy. Most of the people commenting on him are empty suits who would have no positions at all if they could avoid it. It just happens to be that that sort of person is incredibly easy to corrupt by wealthy interests.

        Yep. I have my issues with piker. But you aren’t wrong. He may be too eager to glaze auth left groups. But it tends to come from a good place I think. And more often than not, he stands for the right things unlike the establishment.

      Also, I don’t think he really cares what the (establishment) Democrats think. If anything, this only raises his profile by a lot.
