Graham Platner has traversed a long and unlikely road to become the Democratic nominee for the US Senate in Maine. Can he beat longtime GOP incumbent Susan Collins and live up to the promise of his firebrand populist campaign?
I don’t care. We can’t keep relying on people here. The furry internet mods of the internet who hide at the first hint of confrontation. You know at some point we have to be critical of ourselves as a reason Trump won. If i was on a baseball team and half the team doesn’t show up and the other half that does show up decide to not even play the game then at some point we need to admit the reason we lost isn’t just because the other team did something, that partially the reason we’ve lost everything in decades is due to the actions of our own team or lack thereof. But one thing I know for sure, we need more of Graham to inject some fuck you energy back into the left of MAGA side.
And the list goes on. People who have proved themselves by being - and most importantly acting progressively - through their entire career. All I’m saying is that Plattner has not really given us any reason to believe that he is actually on that list. In fact, we’ve seen guys like him before, such as Fetterman, and we all know how that turned out. And there were people defending Fetterman just as rabidly as they’re defending Plattner today.
When the guy that acted like a chud in the past turns out to act like a chud in the future as well, don’t come crying to me, because all I’ll have for you is an atodaso. A fucking atodaso.
We’re not in a position to be picky without good reason. Fetterman is not enough. The 3 you listed are not it. They’re great. Exciting. But they are one small part of something bigger. Tlaib not really sure what her actions actually are.
The do-nothings are always eternally perfect because they never commit to anything.
The real world isn’t a Disney movie or an anime. You don’t know someone’s true motivations most of the time and, even if you did, they can change after a while. But doing nothing IS a decision, and the wrong one most of the time.
The thing the Republicans do that give them a big advantage is take in anyone all flaws included. That’s real life. Ugly lumps and all. The do nothings don’t get the real world experience to know the ideal in their head doesn’t exist. They reject based on each individul grievance and this shrinks power over time.
Tin foil hat, given what we know of heritage foundation and others, I wouldn’t doubt if these were modern bot accounts really driving this holier than thou attitude among the left.

Hey I’m not saying there’s no good candidates:

This, exactly this.
