There was an interview posted just a bit ago that actually addresses those concerns. lemmy.zip/post/65885461 Specifically, his response to the interviewer asking about him getting to DC and not being effective. In summary, he is not just looking to empower himself, he’s looking to empower the working class as a whole. He is attempting to organize and build the power of normal people by uniting them and enabling them to better pressure ALL politicians. He is building a network who is ready to fight against the billionaires and he is under no illusions that he can do it alone.

Again, I can point to a bunch of people with Tottenkopfs who claimed they wanted to build a working class movement and fight the good fight against the oppressors. That’s literally why they called themselves National Socialists. Patriotic, god fearing, proud of country National Socialists with Tottenkopfs and a penchant for killing people that were different than they were. When people show you who they are, believe them. I’ll be very happy to be wrong. But honestly, he seems a lot like a leopard and we’re all going to have our faces eaten in a few years when arguing against war for America First economics just doesn’t work and he’ll actually need to take a principled anti-imperialist and revolutionary defeatist stance. More than likely we’ll see him voting for military spending, voting for police expansion, and generally being a standard run of the mill petite bourgeois imperialist Democrat that wants to maintain democracy and by democracy he means capitalism and the imperial war machine.
