[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey toxic masculinity people: did you vote for Trump? what do you think of Trump's cabinet?

Your efforts to bring down Platner are beyond pathetic.[/quote]

This is the POINT.  You've spent years calling out people who voted for Trump - most of whom only did so because he was the only Republican choice and we wanted a Republican president.  Now YOU are in exactly the same situation.  You're going to overlook this cretin's many red flags because you want a Democrat to win.  So be it - but you'll finally have to shut up and own your double standards and hypocrisy.  [/quote]

Except that Platner is still an aberration within the Democratic Party (not saying he’s the only one, but he isn’t typical), whereas the Republicans have an infinitely deep bench of sexist, racist, toxic politicians and pundits.  For years they’ve actively recruited edgelord influencers and made insults and trolling their identity.  MAGA coalesced in large part around bringing back the ability for white men to say horrible things without consequence.  “Grab them by the p*ssy” only drove more people out to vote for Trump.  I’m sure some people held their noses and voted for him, but most MAGA voters I’ve talked to gleefully support the trash talking.

We’re allowed to criticize candidates and demand better.  It would be nice if everyone did the same.[/quote]

I thought Platner was one of the handful of politicians out there who doesn't accept dollars from super PACs. If so, he'd be one of the very few potentially decent politicians in either party. [/quote]
