    from my point of view he seems to be a great person and candidate

    You said that, maybe not the best decision when you ‘not know about someone’. Also your words.

    He is the tool of that awful party to keep voters from running to a genuine left party/candidate.
    That’s why they call him the sheepdog.
    Full of empty slogans about the oligarchy, tax the rich, etc…
    But he does nothing, on the contrary.
    He only proposes worthwhile bills when he’s absolutely sure they will not pass. (which is the desired result)
    Of course he will make a big spectacle about it and play the socialist.
    Usually after the elections.
    When it’s close to voting he always endorses whatever ghoul the corporate Dems want.
    He supports US imperialism and votes for about every illegal war they constantly start.
    Even defends drone bombing.
    Attacks and rants every government from countries the US doesn’t like. Especially the real socialist ones.
    Believes in strong border and anti-immigration policies.
    Was against defunding the police after the George Floyd murder. Even wanted to give them more money.
    Shills for the genocider state.
    Wasn’t against moving their caital to Jerusalem, and against a cease-fire.
    He refused to use the word ‘genocide’ for more than a year.
    And got very angry when asked why he wouldn’t do it.
    He invariably talks about ‘the Netanyahu government’ when he (mildly) criticizes the genocider state.
    This is of course his very sneaky tactic of putting all blame on this one guy, who eventually will have to go and creates the illusion that this genocider country will return to becoming a perfect model democracy.
    While factually at no time in history they were anything but land thieves and murderers.
    In any discussion on Palestine every other sentence is ‘israel has the right to defend itself!’ or Hamas bad!
    I could go on.
