Yichusdik,
Thank you for proving my point.
If in fact you are identifying his contituency as Chardal or moderate frum and being aligned with Amsalem and to the exclusion of regular frum why would people tout that he has smicha from a Frum institution? He has thus clearly divorced his hashkafah from the haskofos of that institution.
Are you saying that his words about a lack of interest in learning and yiddishkeit were then directed solely to the chardal and moderate frum?
As far as the goose and the gander, I think there is a distinct difference because he defined himeself as a polical activist. Which is different even from a politician, way different. It is by definition a rabble rouser. Think of the euphimism “community organizer”. And it in my opinion most certainly precludes him from being a “man deomar” suggesting changes to chinuch.
