@Mike_from_PA I mean, MLs (and their orgs like the PSL) have no problem attacking DSA candidates in primaries or general elections. There is no Left Unity, there is no unity with liberals. It's all just a myth; pick a team and realize everyone else is your enemy.
@OklahomaPerson@OrganizerMemes@eternallyRaq As a True Leftist, I know that you can never support a former US marine in any circumstance and for whatever reason because they are inherently bad and strategic wins are just moral compromises. /s
NEWS CENTER MAINE: This is the first reelection campaign that you're run since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. I was hoping you could talk to me a little bit about your vote to confirm Kavanaugh and whether you regret that?
SUSAN COLLINS: I do not regret that vote.
@NewPerspectives@tigerfoos "I think queers are degenerate layabouts who neglect basic hygiene, live in filth, and contribute nothing to society"
Wow, very woke.
@shashina99@wideofthepost If you think serving in the military is permanently disqualifying, that's fine, but it's not an opinion that is going to have any political power behind it anytime soon.
If you think veterans need to be apologetic about there service, that is still an opinion that is fringe.
@shashina99@wideofthepost You posted it and said it made zero sense to you. If you think my transcription was literally the same, then you were just lying and/or being pedantic about it making "zero sense". You understood thr meaning of the statement perfectly fine, you just didn't agree with the opinion.
@shashina99@wideofthepost If you genuinely need help:
"I don't care about the things that he's done [in his personal life] unless it's literally irredeemable. I think he's done irredeemable shit [while enlisted]... I'm willing to overlook the... possible irredeemable things he's done [while enlisted]."
@shashina99@wideofthepost Expecting every sentence out of anyone's mouth to have perfect clarity and political alignment is unrealistic and you know that.
@shashina99@wideofthepost I hear him saying those things are irredeemable, but don't impact his assessment regarding his platform or a hypothetical choice to vote in Maine for him over Collins?
Again, it seems like the demand is that discussion stops before the "but"?
@shashina99@wideofthepost I definitely have not seen Hasan do something like encourage viewers to door knock, phone bank, or donate to Platner's campaign. Though, that clip could exist!
@shashina99@wideofthepost It's possible that the clip you saw of Hasan may have lacked context? Maybe he's been more supportive, but my recollection is that he /has/ said things like him "being a warmonger isn't disqualifying", as in not a hindrance for in a US election, but not as a personal judgement.
