I hope you'll notice that all the attacks against plattner are about things he's done in the past, not the vision he has for the future. Because they can't rebut those.
@yashar@morgfair My boy benny is with me 24/7. I have to leave him in the truck or car from time to time, but i have two keys so i can lock the car with the engine running an air conditioning on. And a bowl of water. I would never do this to him.
I really miss this kind of America.
Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford ran against each other in 1976.
When Ford passed away, Carter gave the eulogy at his funeral.
When Carter passed away, Ford’s son Steve spoke at Carter’s funeral.
Barack Obama and John McCain ran against each other in 2008.
When McCain passed away, Obama gave the eulogy at his funeral.
They disagreed. They debated. They fought hard for what they believed in.
But at the end of the day, they still saw each other as human beings. As Americans.
That is the part we have lost.
Somewhere along the way, disagreement turned into hatred. Politics turned into teams. And people forgot that respect does not mean you agree with someone on everything.
I still believe we can get back to this.
Not because it will be easy. Not because everyone will suddenly think the same.
But because America is supposed to be better than this.
Bipartisan respect used to be possible.
And someday, I pray we remember how to do it again. 🇺🇸💙
@pink_panth87952@Huntresscyr@JohnFetterman@SenFettermanPA This whole situation is really sad. He had potential to be a different kind of politician and I think he was. Then he had his stroke and his depression problems and that all changed. He can't be gone soon enough
