Keith Ellison is a shill and the desperate attempt by the democratic establishment to save itself.

I don't think Ellison is outright a shill, but the fact that basically the entire Democratic leadership establishment rallied behind him immediately - before he'd even officially announced his candidacy - should be setting off all kinds of warning bells and the fact that the left is getting swindled this easily is depressing

Or maybe China of "China China China" fame, actually sucks, and Taiwan and others on the boot end of Chinese oppression would be natural allies with a US administration that doesn't dictate their policy in Asia around appeasing China.

okay couple things

first, the PRC exerts no control over Taiwan
second, despite what we say otherwise, the US is infact allied with Taiwan or did you forget our yearly weapon sales to them
