Idk what is most surprising here:

  • he hasn’t gotten it covered (apparently had since 2006)
  • this made it through the pod save edit to be shown on their video
  • pod save had him on

Wonder what the excuses will be this time on why it’s okay he’s still in the race as if he wins probably will be another fetterman.

Or maybe I’m so conspiracy brained I wonder if this is a way to make the ancient governor running look like the best candidate

    What’s key here though is I really don’t think ANYONE who we should take seriously or consider a comrade is saying Platner is a “leader” of the left

    Elected representatives are leaders. Just one more social fascist with a nazi tattoo bro, just one more - electoralist addicts coping

      They are leaders in a definitional sense, not in a leader that we are upholding as our leader.

      You are seeking out the least charitable possible explanation in this entire thread, including calling me a Nazi / social fascist elsewhere.

        ah so… leaders?

        You want guys like this to win and for America to become more like this guy? We could have one billion mamdanicans and we’d still be a social fascist shithole. This is a flawed conception of how to do politics

        You literally deleted your comment in shame where you said that “hexbear is getting too leftcom for me” because we were purity testing over nazism.

          I deleted it before you commented because I felt it wasn’t useful to the discussion, then undeleted it when I saw you commented because I’m not a jerk.
