Obviously, they brought him on as a set up.
They lined him up with four right winger Presidential candidates (Obama & Romney impersonators, Gary Johnson and Virgil Goode) with a rabid right winger (John Stossel) hosting. (The snarky “Welcome Comrade” intro was cute! Stay classy guys!)
Needless to say, my man didn’t fall for the okey doke.

Here’s a summation of his views:
- Supports worker owned co-operatives, not government takeovers
- People & communities should determine their own destinies, how schools are run, etc.
- End the wars
- Tax the rich
- Free higher education for all
- Indefinite unemployment benefits
- Repeal the ACA and replace with Single Payer
- Institute a living wage, north of $15/hr
- Workers of the world should unite
He did a great job.
Isn’t it funny how Fox will interview a real socialist before our beloved so-called “liberal” MSNBC will not?

He’s a good spokesperson. (Alexander, not Stossel.)
Oh, gawd, no!! Stossel is scum.
But yes, Alexander is great. I hope to hear more from him.
Hey, thanks for posting, jest.
I loves me some third party news.
Thank you for posting this! Recc’d, of course.
Alexander did hold his own in the Fox snake pit, didn’t he? I loved how some members in the audience applauded once. Not surprising they cut him off fairly quickly when they realized he was getting his point across.
I know, imagine that! A Fox studio audience applauding an actual socialist!!!
But yeah, Stossel saw the positivity and support was getting out of hand, and changed it quick. haha.
Thank you, jest. Had a bad internet connection (buffering), but was impressed with Stewart Alexander.
If Jill Stein doesn’t get reinstated to our state ballot (State Attorney General has sued to have her removed), I may just write him in.
Blue
Oh, forgot, recommended.
“B”
Which state and why, Blue Onyx? (I mean, why did the AG sue to have her removed?)
