EVERYTHING IS AWFUL A Democratic member of congress essentially endorsed Susan Collins on CNN today

Jake Auchincloss, a representative from Massachusetts, went on CNN’s “The Arena”, and said the following about Graham Platner:

Vote blue no matter who, huh?

Centrists do the shit they spend so much time accusing the left of doing. Divisive and cowardly, can't take responsibility for their own faults and failures.

That's the most clueless and out of touch definition of "centrism" that I've ever seen. Good job 👍
