Liberal zionism two years into a genocide and cop apologism? Barely qualifies as a socdem.

Will not be surprised if he turns out to be a “disappointment”. If he was a real threat then they wouldn’t show him on TV such as a talkshow. If he does get power and able to leverage it (I really don’t like assuming leaders or potential leaders are playing 4d chess) for something of substance I would expect him to be nullified. Without a working understanding (we do not know if he does or does not, though so far not promising) of how capital and liberal democracies actually function I am not sure how you can get beat it.

Case in point: look what they did to PSL.

At best his actions I suspect will be another “how do we distribute the loot of imperialism more equitably”

On twitter there was a good anlogy for this with a customer visiting a restaurant - the kind waiter who is on the customer’s side and the brutish chef who is not, all work for the restaurant owner. It does not matter how nice the waiter is; capital governs all and the waiter despite their best intentions is therefore a useful pawn to help maintain stablity and allowing the customer a pressure valve for his discontent.

(If you're wondering why the ratio it may be because I initially started with "fuck this guy" as the first line before I removed it because I didn't want people to stop reading past that first line)
