Wherever he is, I hope he’s doing good. I don’t remember if he was an open communist when he was in the Virginia legislature but probably the least lib politician in America in a generation. Seemed like a pretty genuine dude, too. Feels like he dropped out of politics and has been pretty quiet since.
Not too recent, but I think I remember him still posting and calling out Genocide Joe about a month ago on Twitter. He is still around, but because he doesn’t have political office, people don’t pay much attention any more. As far as I remember, he was one of the better Soc Dems rather than an open communist though.
lol his twitter bio says “literally a communist”, but yeah I don’t recall him saying that when he was a politician (but I get why, Americans have an irrational reaction to that word).
he radicalized like crazy after his shitty experience with “democratic socialism” and his current partner pushed him waaay further left
