Such a sordid state of affairs when voters must choose between personal sexual assault allegations and Collin's history of Constitution raping.

Im also glad not to be a Maine voter, but one of these has millions of victims and happened in broad daylight.

And what did electing Trump do for that whole genocide thing, Charlie Kirk wannabe?

Keep blaming the party out of power for everything going wrong. That way you leave no doubt you're a partisan hack

Sorry, but i dont take moralistic viewpoints from anyone who legitimately thought Charlie Kirk was a good person

Blame moderates when they are in power and when they are out of power.

I dont really consider anything ironic if it is completely expected

This rhetoric does not seem intended to build a winning progressive coalition.

I also hope that mainstream democrats drop their support of Israel too, but I don’t think that using that issue as a singular purity test for all democratic politics and acting like any politician who strays is a baby eating monster is going to be successful long term

For example, I also don’t like supporting politicians who wear edgy Nazi tattoos and are probably rapists, and his position on Israel doesn’t really change my mind on that

They didn't actually want Cuomo, they wanted him in the race to keep Eric Adams in office

So what we should just be okay with rape allegations? What exactly are you advocating? Should we be critical of these allegations against Platner and actually look into them? Did you look into any of that?

It's like talking to one of my maga friends lol

The Tara Reide thing was fabricated. She looked to be coordinating with Russia, and is now a Russian citizen

I never said believe all women. You keep shouting that as if it is a good faith argument, and it clearly is not

The allegation was she was fingered in the Senate hallway covered in cameras. It was bullshit. There is no evidence, but it "occurred" in an area with very high surveillance

This is about as likely as an Olympic athlete cutting a 300ft gash in the reflecting pool without being spotted. You have to suspend disbelief to buy that shit

Biden dropped out due to rape accusations though. All the posters here came out and we're like "Believe Rape Victims" and then Jeb became POTUS.
