He seems to be a decent candidate comparatively, though. Yeah sure he sucks in some ways but so did/does Bernie.

I don't think it's very beneficial to sit and nitpick whether this guy is the best embodiment of socialism or piss and moan because of online beef with the People's Party. We could utilize this election as a way to broaden support for socialism (or, like Bernie, at least popularize being against the status quo).

Yes, he's said stupid things about the Soviet Union and Reagan. But he still seems like a pretty decent candidate when compared to others in the US, and while he has no chance of winning under the two-party dictatorship, we could use this to give awareness of socialism a boost.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I agree, except with using a real socialist party condiut to do it: the PSL
