Thursday

Many of us offered warnings based on Fetterman's previous racist actions. Progressives refused to listen, because he said the things you wanted to hear.

Lamb was a much better candidate. Now here we are.

*You're making the same mistake with Platner in Maine. Another white dude with a questionable, to say the least, past - adult past - and progressives are ignoring those red flags because he says the things you want to hear.
