Nope, I think that is a shit lazy reason to dismiss a candidate after the news story about the tatoo had time to get plenty of attention and for more damning information to come out.
It is clear as day the DNC wants desperately to destroy Graham Platner even if that means losing to a Republican. This was clearly part of an attempt to do that.
You got played by corporate democrats convincing you to be cynical so Janet Mills can scrape a win out even though no one likes her and she has nothing to offer.
It's wild to me how many "leftists" just eat the slop right up. Looking at those who tanked Abugazala, @silentjohn@lemmy.ml , Mike from PA types. And I say this as someone notoriously critical of Democrats. Just hogs as far as I'm concerned.
Sorry @silence7@slrpnk.net, @ed the wrong person
Why am I being @?
You expressed a "splitter" position on Abugazala prior to the election (it was about 2 months ago), similar to the Mike_from_PA positions (at the time).
So I brought you up as an example of a "hog".
flattered that you somehow remembered something I said 2 months ago, but also ... weird. blocked.
also incredibly strange to have my "leftist card" questioned by some rando on lemmy lmfo. who tf even are you?
I have a good memory and keep track of sabatours and wreckers.
