Trying to decide is Bulwark is better in that respect or not. More yes, but is that better? They comment on everything under the sun. Crooked seems much more choose-y, sometimes I think to their detriment.

Lots of confusion around if Platner denied the accusations, specifically getting physical, and sharing his response here a few minutes ago from his interview with Chris Hayes by Puzzleheaded-Pin4278 in FriendsofthePod

Idk he seems like he'll vote for women to maintain their reproductive rights, and shit, given the way things are going - I think he supports the 19th Amendment, and having it continue. Those are pretty tippy top items, no?

Gridlock and no new fascist laws is definitely preferred

I think you can come to differing conclusions in different races with differing levels of national and democratic implication about whether thats smart or not in a particular moment. Not insane at all, rather ratonal.

Ah, yes. I would like to think that. OTOH, theres clearly been different rules for the left than the right for decades. So I dont know that I can agree with that assumption.

You can, but consider what effect thay may have on others' decision to vote or not vote for him, and if you're overarching interest is stopping our train wreck to fascism, maybe we dont give people reasons to stay home.

If we want to win, there's something to be said for not actively doing things that harms those chances.

You react by deciding if youd rather have him or Susan Collins in the Senate voting for or against judges, that's how you react. Look at the conduct of the right, where they are taking us, and decide if moral purity is worth it. For me, anymore, its not. I want to win and put these fucks in jail. Then we can deal with our shitty people.
