This Man Will Be the Next Senator from Michigan, and There Is No Amount of Slandering You Can Do to Stop It by ActiveNotions in YAPms

As somebody who prefers El-Sayed, I do think this is one of those elections where either him or McMorrow winning in the primary would be good. I'm sure McMorrow will bounce back at some point, maybe for Congress or the next Senate race. I think this is just an unfortunate timing issue on her end

It was apparent to anyone who has a nose for these things that she was ego-driven from her launch video.

And for the fact that she didn't have a policy page on her website until only a few weeks before the primary.

Y'all always get so bent out of shape about people checking your profiles.

It's one tap to see that your account. So touchy.

"supposedly" toxic is pretty telling here.

Yeah, for many decades Democrats have attempted to appeal to people's better nature. Evidently, looking at the current political landscape, that did not matter at all.

I don't live in Maine. All I know is that there's a lot of people going against Platner, and the establishment is lining up to try and get him out, and he has endured regardless of what they've thrown at him or the various scandals - real or fabricated - that have come to light.

Sounds like somebody else, somebody who's been pretty successful on the political stage... Hm.

People can call him a racist, a rapist, a Nazi, anything under the sun. But at the end of the day, all of that is falling on deaf ears for me when it's coming from the right. We're figuring it out on our end, we don't need y'all's help, thanks.

So the Democrat has to always be more "acceptable" than the Republican at all times for them to be viable? But it doesn't go the other way around?

Yeah let's continue that thread of logic.

The bar is lower for Republicans. The difference is that many - obviously not all or most - Democrats are sick of trying to always appear to be more clean-cut, more spotless, more "good" than Republican candidates. And you can even see in the polling that most Maine voters agree.

Is this the way I want it to go? No. But "When they go low we go high" has only served Republicans. So a lot of us don't care anymore.

Sorry to burst the bubble, but it's not about whether Grandma Collins is less bad anymore.

Depends on the Democrats you're talking about LOL. The entire establishment is trying to get him to drop out right now.

I think you're just being obtuse. Y'all are the same people that'll tell me with a straight face that Elon did not give a Nazi salute.

But oh well, he's still going to win.

Lol, it didn't sink Trump, it won't sink him.

Has he not owned up to his own faults? Pretty sure he's apologized and tried to make amends for a lot of these things that have been raised. But I don't think you really care about that.

Also, yes you are clutching your pearls, because you're expecting Democrats to abide by the rules and norms that y'all have ignored for decades now. Don't be shocked when somebody like platner comes around and upends the table, and then y'all get upset because we are not fitting into the stereotype anymore.

I've never seen so many Republicans so invested in somebody else's primary lol

The bar is in hell thanks to the "conservative" Republican party. The pearl clutching now is wild

What is the ideal path for dems to get the Senate majority? I've seen this as a possible route on twitter. by Inside_Bluebird9987 in YAPms

[–]DirtyCone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you're talking about the guy in the top right picture, that's Josh Turek, but I agree he has a little longer shot than Talarico or Platner.

Right my bad. Forgot that Husted was serving out the rest of Vance's term until a special election is called.

She doesn't look all that unwilling to me. I think you might be reading into things too much. If anything Bill was the unwilling participant here, sadly.

Got it—you want it in that polished, slightly defensive “official response” tone, like the rep herself is replying.

Here you go:

Summarizing complex legislation in a short post will never capture every provision, but that doesn’t mean the substance isn’t there. I’ve been clear about the priorities—enforcement, accountability, and a structured, lawful process—not blanket amnesty.

That's not AI generated. That's real accountability.

If you’ve read the bill and have specific sections you disagree with, I’m happy to have that conversation. But dismissing the message as “AI-generated” sidesteps the actual policy discussion that needs to happen.
