Dems threw away the opportunity to pick up senate seat by picking walking red flag collection of a candidate who turned out to be even worse than everyone’s already severely lowered expectations.
Platner had nazi tattoos and has recently been credibly accused of rape, hence skeletons in the closet. I don’t know why people decide to be rude when there’s no name drop for those not terminally online or close to the issue.
If a billionaire was going to fund a social media influence operation, this is exactly what it would look like. A small but consistent number of downvotes. Visceral flaming of anyone who questions the evidence or asks questions like is she being paid? Did she shop this to other media outlets before Politico? Those are all legit questions.
Brah she has years old emails from before he even went into politics and witnesses who can verify her account of events.
The only bad actor here is the dnc. They let the party jump off the cliff carelessly thinking they'd only prove their point. No thought given to the state of the country.
If anything they are throwing this election cycle because they know if they have power they only become culpable and know they have no ability to actually weild it in a manner that will be effective.
Add to that the careless attacks from inside the tent that undermine shit getting done and you see the full picture.
Progressives take the heat for party paralysis and liberals spend the next two years saying, "bet you wish you had me back."

Dems threw it away long before he was picked. The opponent they chose to run against him wouldn't have gotten it either.

You’re a bright guy, I’m sure you can track down the biggest political story of the last 24 hours all by your lonesome.

I’m getting inundated with chuds “just asking questions” and you got caught in the crossfire. I’m really sorry.

I want to know why she decided to go with it publicly, yet did not press charges.
vzqq@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 47d
It’s actually very common. Look into prosecution of sex crimes. It’s illuminating. And maddening.
takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 0 pts · 47d
But if she was willing to go with it publicly, why not file charges?
vzqq@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 47d
Because of what pressing charges in a sexual assault case entails for a victim. Again, look into it.

No worries, this was only one of the most pivotal races in the midterms. Not a big deal.

Hey man, pick bad candidates, get stupid prizes.

I'm downvoting you from my own free will. If you're going to force me to see your rampant victim blaming, I'm going to downvote you for it.
