Sadly, he appears to be all in for Trump now.
I sometimes wish lefties had that kind of solidarity. Remember what we did to Al Franken?
Your second sentence is an example of why there isn't solidarity. I have no solidarity with anyone who thought he needed to be taken down.
And it's not even a solidarity on the right but more of a willingness to work with people they hate for mutual benefit, often with the intent to deal with them when that mutual benefit no longer requires the mutual part (eg the night of long knives).
It also wouldn't surprise me if the loudest voices against Franken were agent provocateurs or worked up by them. Gotta always remember Russia and China (among others) want a highly divided West and the right wants a highly divided left.
Edit: that's not to say the left doesn't have divisions, even to the point where referring to it as a single coherent entity is probably a mistake, since there's a lot of different ideas about how things should be, and sometimes those ideas even conflict with each other directly.
Nah fuck all that. The working class needs solidarity forever. Solidarity, forever. Literally the whole rest of human society is against us and they've been winning the whole time, but we're bigger. The only thing they really fear is working class solidarity.
