I can't believe a former US marine who joined specifically for Iraq would be violent towards women.

Even if he was completely free of controversy, you'd find something to disqualify him. Maybe even just the fact that he's white and/or a man. Men are inherently sexist and white people are inherently racist, so either of those characteristics alone would be enough.
But I will concede that there could potentially be a candidate who could be deemed acceptable, but such a candidate would necessarily hold limited appeal to the working class broadly, and especially the white working class, specifically, thus making them not a threat to capital. So, yes, liberals might allow a candidate who fails to meet their unattainable standard, but only if that candidate poses no threat of actually organizing the working class.
We're just gonna completely ignore that the most prominent figure on the American left is Bernie Sanders, then? Someone who somehow, incredibly, didn't need to rape anyone to appeal to the working class?
It's more than a little disingenuous to pretend that Bernie Sanders hasn't received significant criticism from the left, especially on matters related to race and gender.
Is it? From who, when?
I found this in 30 seconds.
Oh, I see. When you talk about the left, you're talking about mainstream media like MSNBC.
