Okay so I did actually watch it, basically what I’m getting is that purity testing is good and the only true leftists are the ones he agrees with, and only the furthest of the left deserve that label.
How is this productive? Is coalition building not valuable at all?
Id even agree platner isn’t a leftist, just progressive at best. But even still, is there no value in supporting him against his conservative opponent?
Also, his comment about the amount of people who have military skeletons in their closet being miniscule is simply wrong. I looked it up, 6% of the population in the US are veterans. In Maine, where platner is running, it’s 9%. That’s a lot of people, for whom platner being a vet is a massive plus, and on top of that the general culture of respecting vets in the US cannot be discounted, as bad as you may see it.
And 50% of the US votes Republican. When there are no standards, why not vote for them?
Trump is a Republican progressive too right he said he was going to get peace in Gaza and make everyone happy. And fix healthcare. Words are enough apparently.
Here is the problem: you don’t see massacring people as something negative.
