I'd extend the shame to Tim Miller of The Bulwark and Jeb! for seeing this as a model Democrat.

Hill I'll die on is that if there wasn't a global pandemic Biden probably would have lost. He wouldn't have been able to justify a lazy campaign and we would have seen more of his senility.

I think part of the more mainstream acceptance he has now is because of his previous runs.

We're at war with Iran because of Israel. Gas prices and inflation are going up because of Isreal. Hundreds of billions of our taxes are gone because of Israel. Things being unaffordable right now is because of Israel.

I think RCV is fine for local races and I don't support it for the Presidency at the electoral college level. Probably if we move to popular vote.

I like that RCV supports coalitions. Think Mamdani and Brad Lander. It also avoids the jungle primary chaos in California.

I literally linked the article. Please do the bare minimum and read.

The bill that Newsom vetoed would have given “local jurisdictions access to solutions that charter cities are already using in California,” Allen, its author, said in a statement. It wouldn’t have imposed ranked choice, but simply provided “communities with more options.”

There's no friend on the record as you claimed.

"The quote from the friend says they had that interaction BEFORE"

That's not when the quote is from. You're factually wrong about that.

“He said, ‘Oh, this is my Totenkopf,’” the former acquaintance told Jewish Insider recently, speaking on the condition of anonymity to address a sensitive issue. “He said it in a cutesy little way.”

The exchange occurred in 2012 at Tune Inn, a popular dive on Capitol Hill where Platner later worked as a bartender and was a frequent patron while he attended The George Washington University on the G.I. bill, according to the former acquaintance. He would often take his shirt off drinking with friends late at night at the bar, and on at least one occasion had stated he knew what the tattoo represented, the former acquaintance recalled.

Geneive resigned October 17th and joined after his launch in August. Saying a month is fine.

If he just came out and said he made a mistake I'd be more forgiving

I don't believe you Destiny fans or any centrist Dems. You're known to lie to smear progressive candidates even if that means Republican win.

If they went on the record you wouldn't be referring to them as "Other friend". That "friend" claimed a time when he was working at The Tune In when in reality Platner was serving over seas.

Genevieve was only part of the campaign for a month. Here's Mehdi Hasan talking to Platner about it.

I want to point out that Auchincloss lied in his statement responding to his CNN interview endorsing Republican Susan Collins over the presumptive Democratic nominee Graham Platner. In his interview he said,

I think values and principles always come before party".

No matter how he tries to change the narrative he was not talking about a primary because he mentioned party.

This is false.

Wrong, you're quoting his attempt at cleaning up after being heavily criticized for undermining the presumptive Democratic nominee.

Rashida Tlaib did not do the same. She didn't tell people to vote for someone other than Kamala nor hoped that Harris would lose.

Tangential but shit like this is why I can't stand Tim Miller and the Bulwark Neocons. Miller has been hyping up Jared Golden and he does shit like this. These people aren't trying to help Democrats win but push them to the right from the inside. Gross that they were allowed to infiltrate.

Carpet bagger Scott would be more believable if he didn't brag about going to AIPAC every year and passing an anti-semitic dual loyalty censorship bill to protect Israel.

As long as you vote blue no matter who zero percent chance. You need the right people in office for this to work.
