Abigail Spanberger was just elected Governor of Virginia by a wider margin of victory than any Democratic gubernatorial candidate there since 1961, on a campaign explicitly repudiating Platner's brand of anti-minority white populism.
Ok guess we just don’t win the presidency or the senate or the house ever again.

redemption is an action, in the Jewish tradition you must seek to undo the damage you have done.
with that in mind, what actions has Platner taken to undo the damage? also our tradition calls for a sincere apology to those effected, where is his apology to the Jewish community? nu? we're waiting

In order to move men, we have to welcome folks who have done things in the past we abhor. We have to allow folks to redeem themselves.
It’s sometimes uncomfortable, but it’s the only way we can win moving forward.
The math doesn’t math without more men.

Worth remembering that whatever skepticism we might have about what specifically in the Epstein materials, the royal family of the UK saw enough for them to more or less do a damnatio memoriae on the king’s brother while he’s still alive.

the big case people keep trying to make about Platner is that he's so wildly popular and such a talent (🙄) that even flawed he's the only one who can win because Maine loves him (🙄 🤮) which when almost 90% of all your money isn't from Maine somewhat undermines that idea.
This piece on Platner's "life of silver spoons and salt air" and rural vs urban politics notes that 88% of the money Platner raised comes from outside of Maine.

Why rural Maine may back Democrat Graham Platner’s populism in the Senate campaign − but not his party
Whether Maine’s Graham Platner wins or loses, his campaign to knock off longtime GOP Sen. Susan Collins already points to a deeper question: Can Democrats do more than rent rural authenticity?

why is Matt Gaetz not in jail in Florida on statutory rape charges?
the most obvious answer is a political one, Republicans, like Governor Ron DeSantis, protecting one of their own, refusing to bring an open and shut case against a prince of MAGA.

however the age of consent in Florida is 18, its a second degree felony to have sex with a 16/17 year old, we know Gaetz paid a 17 year old for sex

The damage done by treating Trump's victory as some sweeping mandate in the first eight months of his term really was massive, but ending that collective delusion - i think with the help of last week's elections - really is having profound impacts.

The really funny part is that the hate for Clinton came from her daring to try to reform healthcare in the 1990s.
And then 25 years later when she runs for President, the debunked right wing lies told about her get regurgitated by the left because she beat Sanders in the primary.

Do y’all know how many republicans & democrats based their HRC hate on Epstein bs?
I gotta give the GOP credit. The $Billion they spent over the better part of a decade to trash the Clintons was well $ spent.

well that's odd, because in late december 2018 epstein tells larry summers he's in palm beach, summers asks if he's going to mar-a-lago, then christmas morning epstein tells summers he's "being asked for 3 names to replace mnuchin"
