We've seen a piece of this conversation take place in the main race, obviously, in the main Senate primaries that took place last night with Graham Plattner.

A lot of centrist Democrats totally leaned into the cynical posturing from the far right to make it seem like Graham Plattner was like this uniquely evil person.

Obviously, it didn't work.

He still won overwhelmingly.

Turns out blue sky is not real life.

Turns out Twitter is not real life.

Right.

Mainers were like, no, I actually really like this guy.

Doesn't matter.

There's an important lesson to learn there.

But...

The reason why I keep going back to this is because I'm so sick and tired of this double standard.

We have to just turn around and be like, you guys are literally defending Jeffrey Epstein and all of his friends.

Completely.

We can't do this.

Yeah, I don't think they ordered the hit necessarily.

I think like there's always been a lot of enmity from groups like Third Way, a right wing think tank that is probably responsible for the overwhelming majority of failures of the National Democratic Party since the Clinton era.

Third Way neoliberalism is something that they openly ride for.

They had come out.

After the Kamala Harris defeat and did a bunch of panels and decided the Democratic Party has to do away with questionnaires because they really hyper-focused on the ACLU questionnaire that Kamala Harris had answered about transgender people getting bottom surgery in prisons.
