@estherzelda0514 I’m somehow doubting that you understand the average white American man.

@davidfrum @CHSommers Seeing the neocons fully embrace the moral purity crusading should be setting off alarm bells in the mind of every good leftist.

[ForlongDux @ForlongD]

@timurkuran This is part of the reason why many people like Platner, because he shows that the cultural elites that seized the Democratic Party have always been full of shit. We’re taking it back, baby.

[ForlongDux @ForlongD]

@mattyglesias That’s because most of us know good people who have counted out the Democratic Party because it appears to have been seized by out of touch cultural elites.

[ForlongDux @ForlongD]

@NotPotBol Great policy, great campaigner, the people who hate this guy with unrelenting passion reveals a lot as well.

@bonchieredstate "The perception of..."

@neeratanden I think 65 year old moderate white ladies are more savvy about how the media operates than ever before. The manipulation game is more out in the open that it was in the past.

So many online libs are just not ready for this moment and it shows. This is 2026 and they’re playing politics like it’s 2006

@TwitCensors @JulianAndreone I'm sure when Mills ended their campaign, the Republicans were crushed. They had been working on this Platner story with the NYT literally for months, and timed it to come out right now, just before the primary.

[ForlongDux @ForlongD]

@TwitCensors @JulianAndreone This is all literally coming from a Republican. She posts on twitter about being a Republican. She is a public figure. You can say there's more, go ahead. But all the stuff right now is from a Republican, who is desperate to get him out of the race now before the general starts.

[ForlongDux @ForlongD]

@RationalWins Yes, people are done with the manipulation game. If you do what power wants, your private life stays off the table. If you challenge entrenched power, they try to tar you with anything. Got drunk around a girlfriend? "We can't elect abusers." It's all in service to power.

New Jersey had an openly criminal senator for like 10 years and Josh kissed his ass the whole time lmao

@agraybee "Oh no they are thinking for themselves. They should only be repeating corporate media shill points."

[ForlongDux @ForlongD]

@TwitCensors @JulianAndreone The source for Platner knowing his tattoo was a nazi symbol is also the GF alleging inappropriate physicality. Again, there's a group of people trying to get this guy out NOW. They are terrified.

[ForlongDux @ForlongD]

@carolannleif These fights you want to have with people about their private lives is why Democrats are flailing. Normal people have lapses in behavior and thinking. Watching judgemental assholes police all Democratic politics, constantly judging people's private behavior is loser behavior.

[ForlongDux @ForlongD]

@TwitCensors @JulianAndreone "The really bad stuff is coming, we promise, you're gonna look bad." sure sure sure

[ForlongDux @ForlongD]

@RWantuck93842 @JulianAndreone The source is a Republican. Wise up, pal.

[ForlongDux @ForlongD]

@JammieWF @JulianAndreone No, the Republican GF took her story to the New York Times. She could've taken it to the NY Post or some other conservative outlet. But she wanted Democrats to see it in time for the primary.

[ForlongDux @ForlongD]

@TwitCensors @JulianAndreone If you think that is "protection" then let me protect you right now, buddy.

[ForlongDux @ForlongD]

@scarylawyerguy You are glossing over the revelation that the person who alleges Platner knew his tattoo was a Nazi symbol IS THE SAME GIRLFRIEND IN THE NYT STORY? You are acting as if there's all these credible scandals but it's all from one lady, a very pro Israel republican.
