Democrats. We got swift boated. We got Genocide Joed. We got Al Frankened. Now we are getting Platnered. This is the awesome power of the 24/7 mainstream media influence machine.
Don't take the bait. Nothing matters more than winning the Senate this fall.

On Platner. He has got things in his past which are bad. He is currently the subject of an all out political smear campaign. Both these things are true, and unless we can nominate another candidate that can beat Susan Collins, it does not matter.Mastodon Migration (Mastodon)

The people actually suffering a live-streamed genocide because of the successive complicity of US administrations throughout the years are the victims here, not the people who are arming and funding the genocide.

Yes, and there is no defense of what Biden did. None.
The point is that the political strategy worked to get Trump elected and he has been a thousand times worse.
What this is about is GOP information warfare being used to effect elections.

then the point for us is to construct effective destruction of #usa complicity in #genocide
which we do not achieve with #perfectionism
i'm not accusing you of that, i'm pointing out the larger effort at work here to goose perfectionist instincts, and suppress #leftist turnout, and ensure a #GOP win
allowing the genocide to go full steam ahead
#Platner has consistently campaigned on a platform of halting #US military funding to #Israel

There may be no 'getting ahead of it.' The billionaire media will continue to run with this narrative because they know what is at stake here.
Our real opportunity here is to recognize that this is the way it is going to be, and vote to take back control of the Senate anyway.
In Hungry the media was completely in the tank for Oban and the people recognized how they were being played and voted him out anyway. That's what we need to do. Stop getting played, and focus on victory.

Perhaps all the attention will get folks to actually listen to Platner speak. No idea whether this is truly sincere or the best con job ever, but the message is on the mark, and it is exactly what the billionaire media does not want you to hear.

in reply to Mastodon Migration • • •I love hearing a political campaign acknowledging that the development of artists and musicians is impeded by our system. Yeah he mentions entrepreneurs too, but artists rarely get any love. Freeing up people's time to make more art is 😍 to me.
I've watched several of his town halls. He speaks well on trans issues and has my favorite take on the Supreme Court (impeach at least 2 & make big changes). Not that I think it's possible but that's bc of other Dems.

After watching him in this town hall, can very well understand why the billionaire mainstream media wants to take him out.
He is saying some very uncomfortable things about what they have done to this country and what #WeThePeople need to do about it.
