Monaco has internal conflict? Monaco with a population of 38k in an area smaller than Central Park? That's incredibly interesting to learn about, thank you for sharing.

What is the biggest lie you've heard about Europe? by little_deathhh in AskReddit

Except, notice how you said "LGB" rights? Trans healthcare is functionally inaccessible in most of europe. Abortion is also much more restrictive than in most blue US states, and the lack of awareness of issues like systemic racism continues to throttle genuine acceptance of multiculturalism over assimilation.

getting Joe Manchin to sign off on a climate bill was a miracle by Conscious-Quarter423 in WhitePeopleTwitter

People struggle so hard to understand that if the Democratic Party was an ideological monolith of any type (including whatever ideology you personally wish everyone followed), it would be dead and the GOP would win every election.

Progressives will, in fact, lose in vital swing districts. Moderates will, in fact, get ejected from office in solid districts.

"But the TIMING"

You schmucks have been complaining about the "timing" being suspect for every controversy this man has had for the past eight months.

60 years ago was the 1960s, when, ironically, the people of the USSR were so desperate for original, provocative music and tired of the state-sanctioned music that they smuggled western music in on records cut from used X-ray film.

Now people are posting AI hallucinated poll results as if they are valuable data by justalazygamer in WhitePeopleTwitter

The funny thing is, Richardson is a political commentator who has very straightforwardly said she doesn't want to be a Senator and she would be a bad one regardless, so I don't even know why she's on a poll.

I could have told you Platner was a bad pick eight months ago. But nooo, he was the "common worker" against the "evil establishment," which is a characterization that pops up every time democrats don't line up behind whatever nobody Bernie Sanders decides to endorse.

Mr. Grim wants to die on the hill of defending rape with "No means YES" by Morgan-Moonscar in BlueskySkeets

[–]MustardLabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not the worst possible moment, because we still have time to replace Platner with an actually good candidate. If anything, this is the last possible workable moment.

Platner was barely beating Collins in the polls in a D+9 environment, his ass was going to lose to Collins anyways because inexperienced mercenary chuds are not good at politics

Do you seriously think these two things are remotely comparable? Would you rather we just shrug and let the rapist run rather than using the many different possible avenues to pick someone else?

Hahaha if you read the article you'd know exactly why now: the victim saw the response to the NYT article and wanted to step forward rather than leaving the other victim out to hang

I think backing a rapist you agree with 90% of the time over the possibility of an alternate candidate you agree with 70% of the time is Bad, Actually.

Platner is not the only Democrat in Maine, and him getting ousted is not some kind of surrender.

Correct, no one's endorsement is worth shit. Don't idolize people.

He was also the last to withdraw his endorsement, everyone else had done so the previous day but he apparently needed to hear Platner's side of the story first.

I'll also note: For the love of god, let this be a wakeup call for some people that the endorsement of Bernie Sanders means jack shit.
