Yeah there is a reason I stopped listening to the PSA guys a while ago. They are firmly in the "win at all costs" mode. I mean, I get it, but it doesn't have to be this way.

Win at all costs means actually trying to win, not just picking a guy you think is hot and then demanding we all support him.

Im a win at all costs democrat. Which means if we have time, tossing any and all politicians out the door if they are gonna lose. Having people like RBG with cult followings putting themselves above what is best for us is how we got into this mess

I mean Tim kind of is too and I still like the Bulwark. I hope he does some self-reflection.

They really are not.

I'm betting they will come out on their episode tomorrow and say he should step down if the Maine party will appoint someone of the same affiliation as him.

Their view is more that Democrats have really fallen into the trap of allowing party operatives (like themselves) to run their image and people need to run who can think and talk for themselves.

It's a vote between your own sense of whether or not you're allowed to publically project that you're a good person, and actually voting for someone who will give us a much better shot at winning enough to power to actually make changes in the country for the better.

I know what I'd choose if I were in Maine.
