I see him as a much smarter and more serious thinker

than the rest of the Justice Dems. He shares many opinions with them, but he is far more thoughtful and much less predictable. There are those with whom I disagree and consider total clowns unworthy of engaging in debate, and then there are people like Khanna who are better than that. It is important to discriminate between him and say AOC or Cori Bush or Rashida Tlaib. In fact, I see him as much more interesting than Bernie or Liz Warren who are putative intelligent liberals but who have too much populism in their schtick. Khanna has a real vision. It just involves many policy I disagree with.

I agree

I think he's likely going to pick up the Bernie/progressive torch going into the 2030s. He has a coherent worldview and seems to engage with people he disagrees with. The democratic party would be healthier if the progressive wing were unified around a real policy agenda and not just a wishlist that puts spending > GDP and reflexive antianericanism in foreign policy. He's a guy who could help make that happen.

A lot of his statements seem to vacillate between truly insightful and mind boggling naive/stupid. Hopefully he gets wiser as he gets older.
