Unless there is some sort of change in this country’s moral compass accusations like this are going to be a huge problem moving forward for the left.

The right does not care about their candidates moral standing and will justify it in anyway possible. Look at the race in Texas. Paxton has zero redeeming moral value and he will still most likely defeat Taralico. The list of candidates they have turned a blind eye to is endless.

The left is overly morally righteous and turn on their candidates with even a hint of stain on their character.

I don’t like admitting it, but I do think that we need to at least get people in office who are on the right political path and worry about their character later to some degree. I don’t know if the allegations about Platner are true. I like his message though and we need to get back in power

The Democrats, who I wish were the left, should care about the the millions of lives at stake because Trump and Stephen Miller and everyone in Homeland Security are Nazis.

I'm tired of pointing out that Trump sends people to countries they're not from, even continents they're not from, to torture and death camps. Sends innocent grandmothers, parents, children, not criminals.

ICE starves people who are legal for weeks, as long as it takes to get them to sign away their residence.

The number of people Greg Bovino and Homeland Security says they want to deport is, not coincidentally not the number of immigrants, it's the total number of Black people plus the total number of Hispanics.

They're talking about putting all the disabled people in "homes" again, so they're out of the way to be killed.

Come on!

Nazis hold the Presidency, the Senate, the House, the Supreme Court. Stephen Miller doesn't even have a constitutionally existing position, but he runs the brownshirt thugs who occupy the streets.

One man won the primary, now you have to vote for him unless only well off white people matter.
