(16,423 posts)1. I don't like Russel Brand.
He once said in an interview that we as voters shouldn't compromise. If you are not satisfied with the candidates, it's better to not vote at all and hold out for the perfect politician to come along one day.

(24,931 posts)2. I don't either.
He's too hyper for me. He strikes me as someone who thinks he knows more than he does.

(10,418 posts)3. I don't think he wants perfection. He just wants someone who is really a left winger.
I do, too, but I don't agree with sitting out elections. Although many Dems aren't as far left as I'd like them to be, Democrats are better than Republicans by a bunch for the most part. So even though I'm a socialist, it's straight Dems in the voting booth from me every time with the exception of my Bernie primary vote in 2016.

And I like Russel Brand. He's funny, he's smart, and he's irreverent.
