Progressives for Maine have moved from an alleged rapist to a guy with anger issues who throws bottles at women. Some real winners on that side.

Man if only we held literally every other politician to the same standards that progressives are held

“Standards” bro they are excusing it, that’s hardly standards. Doesn’t change the fact the only thing that got Platner out was an 11th accusation from a leftist. The first 10 were acceptable.

The only excusals you saw were random users online, what you read on social media is meaningless. The only reason he wasn’t out of the race sooner is because he already had the nomination so it was his decision to withdraw or not. Generalizing an entire movement off of one withdrawn candidate and one moment of emotional overreaction is just dumb, if we wanted to talk patterns we would talk about the GOP electing a known human trafficker for president TWICE

😂 You mean like the NY Times which downplayed it all and Dems like Jeffries and even Bernie who knew but didn’t care until they knew it wouldn’t land them a win? Those meaningless opinions?

The NYT was the first outlet to report the allegations and substantiate them, Bernie withdrew his endorsement after the allegations came out and Jeffries never even endorsed platner at all. You’re speaking from your ass because you know if you applied any of the same criticisms to the right you’d realize the American GOP has to go

The NY Times literally downplayed them which is why Platner didn’t have to drop out until the last minute. Jeffries was on Fox News claiming he didn’t know about Platner’s allegations after he was generating headlines for weeks at that point which you’d know if you’d left the echo chamber. I also like how you don’t address at all the current Dem nominee who still has anger issues with women lol.
