@TitandabeastX93@bunso0023 of course saying that would have been a lie since the phone call to the support guy before demonstrated that he knew she was in agony and didn't care, just wanted the wish to better suit him. but, that would have been the right way to answer her wish to be killed
@TitandabeastX93@bunso0023 bro no one is saying he should have followed her wish TO BE KILLED. he should have respected the profound suffering of her *asking* and PIVOTED TO OWNERSHIP AND REMORSE. "oh my god Nikki I had no idea you felt like that. I will do everything I can to free you"
@Swampatouille@ZFlawles1s they want "open and transparent" as in, party elites choose, and you can watch and cry about the process all you want. bernies ratfucking in 2016 was open and transparent
@Green_Jays@PollTracker2024 thats the concession it sounds like hes trying to get from the party, but ... it sounds like he actually has enough support in maine to stay in the race if the party doesn't arrange a non-establishment candidate
@JakeAlastair@ostonox@ettingermentum Ok I disagree and we could argue about that, but that would be missing the point. The fact of the matter is that he gets to make that choice, and that is the definition of leverage
@JakeAlastair@ostonox@ettingermentum He is the only one who gets to decide if he drops out or stays in. He has the ability to single-handedly tank the election unless given a guarantee. That is leverage, by definition
@21edu@zei_squirrel Who the fuck on earth, let alone the left, thinks both Paxton and Platner are good. What are you talking about. Everyone thinks Paxton is disgusting! Probably even the man himself! What does that have to do with Platner? Pure whataboutism
@bazdunder@zei_squirrel That isn't "the sole reason." I was skeptical at first too, but she told her boyfriend and therapist about it before Graham entered politics. That basically seals it
@ShadowknowsThe@sonofmalachy5@TaritaC@sahilkapur@MaineDems He's already a national pariah lol. The Dems are the ones who can choose to either bow to the will of the voters regarding Graham's platform by selecting Jackson, or they can eat shit and cry about his middle finger through Rapist vs Ancient Tremors: The Election. Leverage=His.
@JakeAlastair@ostonox@ettingermentum Confront reality instead of living in a world of wishes dreams and lollipops. Support Sanders using Platners leverage to select Jackson as his replacement.
@DemNationalist@ostonox@ettingermentum That's nice, but it's just whining. The fact of the matter is that he does have leverage. End of story. Now the party has to deal with his leverage
