This is most likely coming from AIPAC, Republicans and Corporate Dems. They want you to freak out.

I don't like the charisma attached to a questionable character. I guess we have no choice. Well Maine has no choice if they want the Senate seat.

11. Morals are out, that's so 2016 (evils, lesser than; voting conscience) and 2024 ("genocide" one issue).

No Democrat was given the benefit of the doubt, corrupt motivations assumed, alarm over all the terrible caving they would do if not constantly and loudly bashed every day.

Math was out then, too. Vote Blue No Matter Who considered a threat telling people what to do, mention of Supreme Court and judges and legislation only possible with majorities was mocked.

Pragmatism was out, that was establishment, status quo, centrist, "donor class" blah blah blah.

Pragmatism not moral righteousness, trust the candidate, math is real. Welcome back, status quo!

Never have. It's completely in character for him to use the noise surrounding Platner to aggrandize himself. We do not need Carville or his advice.

Platner is a sexist and it's a terrible thing to do to women and girls.

It needed to end with the Nazi tattoo and the first sexist tweet,

But sexism lives and we've got the faux working class screw up.
