A lot of liberals try to eliminate actual left wing politics by attempting to change what left wing means to the point it describes something wholly differen...
I watched your video last time, and you just responded with another timestamp. I might go watch it later, but it just takes so much more time then if you cared to write out the core point for once
I literally did watch the video last time, and tbh I thought I did respond after you sent the timestamp but I’m guessing I like half wrote out a reply, got distracted and never finished lol, gotta love ADHD
Okay so I did actually watch it, basically what I’m getting is that purity testing is good and the only true leftists are the ones he agrees with, and only the furthest of the left deserve that label.
How is this productive? Is coalition building not valuable at all?
Id even agree platner isn’t a leftist, just progressive at best. But even still, is there no value in supporting him against his conservative opponent?
Also, his comment about the amount of people who have military skeletons in their closet being miniscule is simply wrong. I looked it up, 6% of the population in the US are veterans. In Maine, where platner is running, it’s 9%. That’s a lot of people, for whom platner being a vet is a massive plus, and on top of that the general culture of respecting vets in the US cannot be discounted, as bad as you may see it.
And 50% of the US votes Republican. When there are no standards, why not vote for them?
Trump is a Republican progressive too right he said he was going to get peace in Gaza and make everyone happy. And fix healthcare. Words are enough apparently.
Here is the problem: you don’t see massacring people as something negative.
How about watching the video for once.

Okay that’s good but I think BadEmpanada was pretty on the nose on the problem.
Mass murdering people for money is fine, but sexual harassment of an American is the red line for Hasan.
