Okay so I did a little digging (looked at his Wikipedia lol) and I am much less skeptical now. His dad gave I'm the middle name Kwame after Kwame Nkrumah. He founded the Bowdoin chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine in like 2014 so that leads me to believe he may have a stronger stance on Palestine than he admits publicly. He joined the DSA in 2017 so at least he has been left of "progressives" for a while. He is getting people to be less afraid of the word "socialism", and possibly "intifada" which are like, forbidden words to the average voter (this is my opinion). Seems pretty promising so far.
Another comrade also made the point that even if he fails, that may very well push his user base more left, so it may be a win regardless. Crossing my fingers
Lol user base
