    Watching “progressives” downplay and excuse neonazi tats and allegations of domestic abuse has been WILD.

    Like some actual Republican-tier “I like his politics, so he must be a saint!” thinking going on.

      I like his politics, so he must be a saint!

      I’ve not seen that yet.

      It’s maybe more like the left is sick and tired of having this asymmetric requirement that it is that the Democrats that have to be as pure as the driven snow while the Republicans have no standards at all.

      I mean, the idiots within the Democratic Party chased out Al Franken, for fuck’s sake. Meanwhile, the Republicans rally around an absolute monster and total fraud like PEDOnald.

      Haven’t seen anything actually substantiate the abuse allegations and they come from an extremely questionable source. People aren’t buying the bot propagated bullshit. Tattoos don’t make people a nazi, glorifying authoritarianism and violence while scapegoating minorities and being wildly racist does. The fact that he’s decrying genocide, praising diversity, and saying he will stand up for LGBTQ+ people makes every mention of him being a neo-nazi sound like a ridiculous joke.

        The only other candidate dropped out prior to the latest allegations against him. So he was running against a dead candidate. There’s still a lot of time before November, and who knows what other bombshells might come forward? I wouldn’t take a victory lap just yet. I’ve seen enough controversial MAGA candidates with personal issues sweep the primaries only to get gunned down in the general election.

      It’s more like, “We’ve watched the media excuse a child-raping traitor and dozens of the most openly corrupt traitors in American history, so maybe we’re gonna tap the brakes about the things a post-war marine may have thought or did fuckin years ago.”

          You’re an adult and you still came to the conclusion that “guy used to have a tattoo i don’t like” and “The President rapes children and his entire political party is cool with it” are the same thing?

          Son if you’re going to post an opinion, at least make it plausible.

              LOL why do you bother arguing with yourself, like some kind of fuckin schizo?

              You make exactly zero sense. Like, none. Just blah blah blah, like Stephen Miller with somehow less charm.

        Blue maga are you corpo dems who spent the last 10 years telling us “vote blue no matter who” and “Joe Biden is the most effective president in history” (lmao) all while whining about purity tests (which you force on everyone else now) and going apeshit whenever someone criticizes corpo dems.

          You are so incapable of critical thought you can’t even tell this populism bullshit is exactly what Blue Maga is. The Senate is a garbage institution that only exists to check the power of the people.

          But sure, pretend your guy is going to make a difference in the most corrupt institution we have. I will get your fell for it again sticker ready.
