A congressional hopeful backed by Mamdani spewed Russia apologia the same day Moscow invaded Ukraine (in response to a Twitter user with the handle "Clit Eatswood").
@TheLawyerOwl@ASFleischman I think Graham Platner is lying. I also think Lyndsey Fifield is a conservative operative who wants Susan Collins to win. I think it's entirely possible both are lying.
That Matt Stoller longs for the age of Dixiecrats is well-known, that he longs for the age of women being shoved out of public life is another dimension to his reactionary economic and political views.
I feel like this whole Platner situation could’ve been avoided if a bunch of upper middle class leftists hadn’t seen the most obvious red flags imaginable and thought, “that’s just what rough, salty, Ohio Waffle House type working class people are like”
Interesting chart from our cover briefing today. 'Voters are, on paper, less socialist than a few years ago. After jumping to a peak of 5% in 2018-21, the share of Americans who described themselves as “extremely liberal” has fallen to 3.4%' https://t.co/SyqqL1C5o5
I approached Steve Rosenberg, a BBC reporter, at SPIEF and asked why he had refused to travel and report the terrorist attack by Ukraine in Starobelsk. His response was very strange for a journalist. Steve, I think it’s time to change professions.
