Do not split.

But what is happening in Hong Kong is they come up with a slogan, which is translated as Do Not Split, which is, we know that some people are willing to be confrontational with riot police.

And when they are, that’s going to cost the state in terms of not only resources, but it’s going to cost the state in terms of political capital and support. And we know that there are some people who are not willing to do that. And we are going to abide by the protocol of Do Not Split, which means that we’re not going to criticize them openly, and they’re not going to criticize us openly.

If we’re the pacifists, we’re not going to have them criticize us for being sort of like, I don’t know, limpid or flaccid or not courageous or whatever. And we’re not going to criticize them for being more confrontational. And the thing is that the support is also tacit.

He's not even nominated yet, at least save your "lesser evil" bullshit until there is an election. Until then we should demand "no evil", not this prick

I don't want him as president.

Anti transit? You mean he's anti the highspeed rail that he's gotten pushback for every step of the way? I certainly don't think he's an angel but less than worthless is pretty far off the mark IMHO.

Didn't he also raise the minimum wage to $20?

he's doing a good job cosplaying a leftist to gather support.
