In this thread, I'm going to explain things that Kyle got wrong.

I'm not telling Kyle to take this as face value but ask him to mention his friend under this thread so that he can respond to me.

1
In regards to #Raisi's religious qualification to become the next leader, he certainly meets the criteria.

His friend probably refers to "Ayatollah" vs "Hujjat-ul Islam" titles which are used by principalist news outlets & reformist news outlets respectively for Raisi.

2
You can accept neither & do your own research.

The title "Ayatollah" is used for a person who passes the course called "Kharej" in Hawza.

It's paramount to know he is qualified specially if you don't like him as the next leader. Wishful thinking never helped anyone!

3
Usage of the term "Hardliner" is not correct either. That party is called "Principlalist".

You may find it shocking that despite the fact that they're religious (an idea more popular with right-wingers), in terms of economical policies they're more close to the leftists.

4
Which brings us to the next misinformation. Stating that he has no economical plan.

Funny thing is that Raisi is actually in favor of UBI program, Welfare housing initiative for lower class income, pumping up the domestic manufacturing & other Social safety net programs.

5
To see Kyle turn blind eye to all this is certainly disheartening to say the least, specially since he defends biden by constantly saying "Give credit where credit is due".

6
& calling "Reformists" moderates!?
A Party which is pretty freaking neoliberal when it comes to economy! Almost to a degree that they resemble "Tea Praty" in USA!!!

7
Don't get me started on repeating the narrative of west with the executions!

He was a "Prosecutor" and not a judge! Prosecutors don't have the mandate to indict or exonerate anybody!

8
What's worse that he doesn't mention that these people were a part of MEK terrorist organization.

They even used to be on USA terrorist list up until trumps administration in which hawkish "John Bolton" gave a speech in their gathering.

He also received money from them!

9
Funny thing is that I voted for "Rouhani" & little by little by watching Kyle, I became educated that demonizing something like "UBI" is a neoliberal tactic.

& now he goes on & produces something like this?!

10
Kyle mentions that he is in favor of gender segregated universities. (Not Factual)

Kyle also mentioned Ahmadinejad. Need I remind you that this is the guy who denied holocaust? Funny to see him leftist advocate for him.

11
The reason for drop in turnout was the total incompetence of Rouhani's government & hello?! Pandemy?!

Under his administration, Iranian Rial was devaluated ninefold which means that there was hyper-inflation.

And you expect people would ever vote for them?

12
Ali Larigani's disqualification was a surprise for me personally since he is an advisor to the leader himself! & He is a good politician.

But let's get real.
Nobody would vote for him in a way that results in him being elected!

13
#Raisi's stance on #JCPOA was actually not that different from what Rouhani's administration declared before.

Iran is willing to increase it's commitment to the deal if United States lifts the sanctions Trump imposed on us after the US withdraw from the deal &...

14
... rejoins the agreement.

I do acknowledge that reaching an agreement with him would be more difficult since he mentioned that he wouldn't tie the economy to the deal.

As oppose to what Rouhani did.

15
Rouhani was so foucesd on the deal that he famously said:
"I don't know how to govern the country without JCPOA!"

so obviously reaching an agreement with Rouhani was easier since he kinda confessed that he needs the deal.
