Her response: "I find it really shameful that there’s a group of media outlets and people who are willing to spread gossip,” she said in the informal, selfie-style video where she paced along a road. “No marriage is perfect, and I don’t want a perfect marriage, I want my marriage.”

    I think the point is the primary is over and there is no way he will be worse than Collins. Hemming and hawing at this point just carries water for the establishment.

      So the answer to my question is no, nothing I said is inaccurate. You have nothing but faith that he will live up to his commitments, or that he is genuine in any way.

      Hemming and hawing at this point just carries water for the establishment.

      And I’m sure you were totally reasonable about validating your faith before the primaries…

      I can speak my mind whenever I want. Telling people to just operate on faith alone is how the DNC keeps getting stuck with people like simea and fetterman. Your unfounded faith deserves criticism at all times.

          There are multiple people still running against him, although he is the heavy favorite and is the only one talked about by the media. I’ve seen people pushing for David Costello, who supports M4A as well as much if not all of the same progressive policies as Platner while not being 80 red flags in a trenchcoat.

            TIL. I wonder why Platner is being pushed so hard. I am obviously not from the state, but him and Mills are literally the only ones the media talks about. I thought it was an oh well, gotta vote for the ex (maybe) Nazi mercenary dude because Collins votes 100% with the grand ole pedophiles anyway type of situation.

            Looking into Costello, he sounds better experienced and a better pick. Although I didn’t see any stance on AIPAC, which is worrisome.

              The media absolutely loves Platner, and for the same reasons they love Trump. He is a rich white male who elicits incredibly strong pisitive/negative reactions, with a long history of controversies and who makes bombastic statements. Generally speaking, he’s great for their ratings.
