I also think his likening pro Palestinian protestors to the KKK won’t endear him to the young voters we need but that’s a whole other story, as a Jew who is a peace activist, prefer not to engage in right now.

He isn’t the worst we could do. But he’s not as good IMHO as some other pro labor, working class candidates.
