Here's the thing. These stories re: Platner are of independent interest, I believe. There's another aspect to this. The person/people who had a role in suppressing the truth are still active in Democratic politics. So the stories aren't just about Platner anymore, are they?

DSA didn't fight for Black voters when the VRA was gutted
DSA didn't fight for women when Roe v. Wade was overturned
DSA shrugged its shoulders on Oct 7th
But they are ready for war as soon as the Democrats win historic victories in the House and Senate
Sounds about white

Leftists were expecting and acting like Dems to have a 10 seat majority in the House and 1 or 2 seat majority in the Senate and to be able to dictate shit — but Dems have a gazillion seat majority so leftists can’t dictate shit.

You have this brigade of Elliot Morris types who'll spend all day quibbling with me about exactly how large the causal impact of ideology is, but can't be bothered to ever point out that the Khannas and Hasans of the world are wrong about its existence. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Welch is a bigot who’s never worked a day on any campaign — and who speaks with all the unearned confidence of Dan Quayle telling a 12-year-old how to spell "potato."
Jennifer Welch: “Hakeem takes AIPAC money. I think we deserve politicians right now in this moment when we have a convicted felon in the middle of a pedophile ring that is ripping everybody off, taking taxpayer money, rewarding all of these bullshit contracts to all of these evil oligarchs. We need a Speaker of the House and a Senate Majority Leader that aren’t compromised. Who can look in the camera and say I’m not compromised, I’m fighting for America, for democracy, and for Americans”

The public record should be enough for no one to ever associate w/ Morris Katz again, let alone elevate his political "acumen." Given the public record is seemingly not enough, perhaps it's time to shed light on what is not--as of yet--publicly known re: what went down in Maine.
Had a really great conversation with @katz_morris about what he saw this cycle helping with races in TX, GA, OH, AK, MS, and SC
Come for the smart takes, stay for the lessons learned from our respective mishaps...

From Biden to Jeffries to Schumer YOU HAVE GOT TO SEE THIS COORDINATED EFFORT TO MAKE DEMS LOSE FAITH IN THEIR OWN LEADERSHIP even as Republicans are NEVER HELD TO ACCOUNT for their lack of it.

Congressional Democrats scored their greatest electoral triumph in over 50 years on Tuesday. Here’s why the only logical next step is for all of their leaders to step down.

The fight hasn't even started yet and you're already manipulated into attacking Dems. You're hopeless.

What makes it even wilder is that Hakeem Jeffries has done years of training for this job and is obviously the most qualified. Speaker of the House isn't a job you just flop into.
It is absolutely wild that days after massive Black turnout propelled Democrats to a huge victory in the House, mostly white leftists are publicly demanding that Democrats reject the first Black Speaker of the House.
If you wanted a better example of the out-of-touch-ness of the left I’m not sure you could make one up that matches this.

No matter what Dems decide to do, no matter where they fall on an issue, your favorite Russian bot farms will tell you it's bad and you'll believe it.

I think it’s ironic that white people, especially men, are online issuing demands regarding our house speaker and majority leader. What total chutzpah. Look at the numbers. Disgraceful. Just STFU

There is a growing disconnect between elected progressives who are supporting Hakeem Jeffries for speaker and lefty social media folks.
Here are some progressive members of Congress backing Hakeem Jeffries:

Between the fake polls and paid petitions, online "leftists" on the internet are trying to rat-f*ck Democrats. They're manipulating algorithms + political discourse. And they're making money off it.

Moderates did better. What’s with the victim complex? The entire establishment stood behind el-sayed when Steven’s went crazy. Everyone is giving him props, he’s getting all the media appearances. It doesn’t change the fact that moderates did better. We get it you like the guy but you’re the one starting the infighting while everyone else is celebrating. Take the win and chill.

It was a good day on Tuesday and I am glad a lot of candidates won. I helped the Biden campaign that won in 2020, including the rust belt states. I also worked for the campaigns of and served in the Administrations of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama - so that’s the last 3 Democratic Pres’ campaigns. One thing I didn’t do is push the campaign of a rapist with a Nazi tattoo.

Ok, the billionaires are just fucking with you now and redirecting your negative energy onto Dem leadership. You've got to stop being so goddamn stupid about every single thing you hear online. Stop taking the bait.

The grift behind that useless petition..
That lady has made so much money off silly online leftists

I want to say that the argument that Jeffries should step down is one of the most ludicrous things I've ever heard but in reality no one's even making an actual argument. They're just saying, "New blood!" Jeffries *is* new blood. He hasn't even become Speaker yet.
