Look, Graham Platner isn't going to beat Collins.
If you don't care about the morals of the situation, then care about that.
As a Democrat, i'm embarrassed.
@Jameslo27683575@captgouda24 I’m not mad. I’m saying if you wonder why only dirtbags run it’s because lovely people feel bad when awful things are said about them so they don’t bother with running.
Human trash like Platner doesn’t seem to mind because he’s aware of what he is
Platner on MSNBC not doing a good job of explaining how Fifeld texted a friend that he had a Nazi tattoo before he says he realized it was a Nazi tattoo.
@A1776Fred@redsteeze National cohesion can return when we accept that people may do things for mixed motives but we settle for good choices and congratulate each other when we make good choices.
It’s even better if good choices lead to electoral results — then it’s wise to be virtuous …
@Jameslo27683575@captgouda24 Well, I’m a Democrat who voted for Obama over McCain (who was a national hero)…and I thought he did a decent job in ‘08 and earned re election. I was not impressed about how he handled his campaign in ‘12 and my opinion of the man has steadily fallen since.
The debate over whether the new scandals are just enough to disqualify Platner strike me as a bit bizarre. *Any* of the scandals already were enough! Why do we have such low standards for politicians, especially when worse candidates cause worse outcomes? Read more below:
@captgouda24 If you saw how Mitt Romney was treated this is the obvious outcome. While anyone can feel about his politics however they want, you should be honest and acknowledge he was obviously a wonderful man and making him out to be some kind of monster was beyond reprehensible.
@RichardHanania criminal others aren’t but are repugnant. ME Dems can still nominate the Gov.
The unrepentant commitment to nominating this guy is beyond embarrassing
2/2
@RichardHanania The consensus is that the NYT and WaPo have substantially worse but yet unverified allegations
I’d maybe cool it with the defense. Some of these are ugly. In no case would you be excited for your sister or daughter to be dating this lunatic. Some of these are marginal 1/
@lastfullmeasure@RichardHanania Also putting her arm behind her back
Leaving bruises etc
None of these are acceptable.
I don’t get why Dems won’t just nominate Gov Mills
