The id politics debate is often a false dichotomy. When people rail against 'identity politics', they're actually complaining about this picture: Dems substituting empty gestures for meaningful policy. But people who debate id politics often don't clarify their terms...

One serious tell is his stupid line like "It's not lost on me that the same establishment currently trying to destroy me is the same one that sent me off to fight their wars"
HE IS A PRIVILEGED WHITE MAN THAT VOLUNTARILY ENLISTED!!! AND HE HAS CLAIMED HE DID SO BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO MISS A WAR!

NYT screenshot: "I've received (something) as simple as a Venmo request with a threat on it that says, 'You owe me $9,000 because you blew the game - I need you to send me that money or I'm going to find your family," one veteran pitcher said. "That's too far. We've communicated as players to MLB security that we need to get a handle on this before it gets out of control. I don't want to say this, but something bad is going to happen and it's going to be like, 'We told you so."

Could white guys for once not fall for the "just give the deeply problematic white guy who has done no work but says what I want to hear"?
He hasn't done the work. If he did the work, he'd recognize he's not fit for the Senate and would support someone who was.

This is the part about Platner that pisses me off the most.
Even if I bought all of his bullshit about the posts, the tattoo, etc. and believed that he really is a Changed Man yadda yadda yaddaโฆ
โฆok, fine: Run for city council or county commissioner or something first, not for the U.S. Senate.

I think it says a lot about the quality of left media (as well as center-left) that an Abdul El-Sayed does not excite as much as Platner initially did.

It's the perfect set-up frankly for him to become another cautionary tale. "Unknown guy says progressive stuff, gets put on a pedestal, turns out to be a sicko freak, becomes extremely embittered, and turns right-wing out of grievance." wouldn't be the first time it's happened!

Opinion | Graham Platner may have a Nazi tattoo. But at least he doesn't support genocide.

Just sitting here thinking about how we could have had a functional, competent, rational, reasonable Supreme Court, fully funded and expanded healthcare, far less debt, be much farther along in climate action, and have taco trucks available on street corners... but White People voted for a conman.

A lot of people are going to walk away from the Ghislaine Maxwell coverage with the impression that our prison system isnโt punitive enough but Iโd say it highlights how most everyone else is treated with *deliberate* cruelty.
