As a Democratic candidate I admire his firm Anti-America position, similarly held by leaders in our party such as Ilhan Omar, AOC, and even Bernie Sanders. All my fellow progressives know America is The Great Satan worldwide, but Soleimani has had the courage and conviction to shout it for decades!

He has served at a high level in the armed forces in Middle East combat. That means the Republicans can’t call him a pansy, or someone who doesn’t know what conflict is like.

Solemeini is a minority. In fact a Muslim. This of course, by it’s very nature, makes him superior to most of the other candidates still in the field, except for Elizabeth Warren, who is probably the most honest of the remaining candidates, and a full blooded Native American. She’s the one candidate I fear.

I admit his stance on LGBT issues isn’t down with the typical Democrat, after all  Iran executes gay people, but putting it in perspective and reframe it, he will likely garner a greater percentage of the of the black vote than Mayor Pete, will which is vital for the Democrats to win the general election.

From everything I read, he is a HUGE supporter of nuclear energy! He wants to get his hands on as much nuclear fuel as possible and use it, or something like that. . This means a reduction in carbon emissions, and separates him from dishonest candidates who want to “solve” climate change, but are against the one energy source that produces massive amounts of energy around the clock, with zero CO2 emissions.

The truth is he is a man of stature and great confidence, and is our best shot to defeat the incumbent orange and turn him into juice. General Qasem Soleimani, you are the hero the Democrats deserve.
