General Discussion

Then we'd get to validate the idea that running a people-based campaign with bold, transformative rhetoric is DOA

We should've gone with the candidate the Schumer had to twist arm into the race and accept her low energy, uninspired, complacent, incrementalist, campaign-via-Zoom that was the alternative.

If we win, Platner is a priori a plant, a nascent Fetterman, a racist, ableist, misogynist.

If we lose, it was because of those pesky voters couldn't handle an a priori plant, a nascent Fetterman, a racist, ableist, misogynist.


I prefer a third option, where we WIN this election and judge Mr. Graham Platner on his virtues and sins as a Senator. His (virtual) victory in the primary is his baptism. He is without political sin vs. Susan Collins.

That does not mean do not criticize. If he does something shitty, call him out. But for the love of all that is holy, stop litigating the past. It didn't work. Maybe his gross positions are part of his appeal and we should make peace with it, as long as he votes to cut billionaires off at the knees.
