I’ll be honest, Nick Bacon has campaigned harder for Unity against ABC than he has for ARISE. I don’t love that graphic, but realistically speaking… those in glass houses casting stones and all that.

Ummm. Re Nick Bacon “…campaigned harder for Unity…”. Evidence? Where, when? And, who is this rock thrower? And, who is “TM”?

Out, out, as I say, be apparent, state your preference…plainly.

Smears are not a positive advertisement of a good quality in and of leadership.

Chill, Bill.

Go anywhere in the Facebook group, he claims “not to have a horse in the race” and to be a “civilian” when confronted with his direct dealings with ABC and the way he helped split this ticket. He called everyone in MORE antisemites in private. I find all of that to be extremely opportunistic and inauthentic.

He’s an elected member of the Executive Board, I don’t think you can claim to be a “civilian” at that point. I say this as a member of MORE who decided to run with ABC because of how undemocratically MORE made the decision not to run with ABC.

Travis Malekpour, MORE member since 2020. UFC Delegate candidate in 2022. ABC HS Executive Board candidate. You can quote me on all that if for some reason you think I’m “lurking.” I did say what I do and don’t appreciate in my response. That indicated that I won’t pretend ABC is absolutely perfect as a slate. We had to build the plane while flying it and I’d say we did pretty damn well. Don’t let ARISE sell you on the idea they are perfect, they’re not either. I prefer the slate that doesn’t require you to be in a caucus to hold power, IE: most of my colleagues.
