Fine, glad it came out now, instead of in October---


The memory of the average voter is the life-span of a GNAT.

Many of the same folks who claim any criticisms of Democrats are "depressing the vote."

🙄

I am ANTI-CREEP.

Your "creep" is another person's husband. She's good with him, I'm willing to cut him some slack. YMMV.

"alrighty then"

Boys will be boys.

Yeah, they are trying to work through this but that does not mean that she is OK with it.

behind "Trump did all this terrible stuff and they elected him" and "Let's stop caring if our candidates are shitheads."

This isn't Republicans attacking him, it's a Democratic Primary and we have options.

I don't like seeing the bar lowered to accommodate creeps, not at ALL.

As long as they don't hurt anyone I could care less what politicians do in their lives. Platner's wife is the only that should be concerned about this–and she's not

Why would you expect that he's not lying to you?

mentioning the rape apologist posts, or, if they do actually mention them, dismiss them with all kinds of excuses. We have rape survivors on this board. Exactly how do you thiink they are feeling these days, seeing his words so casually and flippantly dismissed?

While gross in that he was allegedly in a committed relationship, that's still an issue between him and his wife. The posts blaming women for rape, using retarded as a slur, the tattoo, those are far more significant in terms of how I look at him in terms of a potential public servant.

and many other examples of bigotry.

I thought this site was for Democrats

A democrat can do no wrong? Also, when did Platner even become a democrat? Considering he voted for Collins multiple times.

Very similar to how republicans treat Trump.

Some here even go as far as to suggest nothing he did before the campaign matters. Like he started living only when he started his run for Senate.
As for Trump, getting away with everything appears to be his very special talent. Regardless, as I would never vote for Trump, argument that because Trump gets away with everything, so should everyone else, doesn't hold water for me.

The only thing that should matter to any of us is how he will govern

What is his wife having therapy for?

I don't see how that means anything.

Same way massive red flags were ignored with Fetterman

With her husband when he was marred with 3 kids and she was sick.

If that is true it's much worse.

Bad, but I'm more concerned with her being a Republican

And I could care less. While he was having consensual sexual activities, the deficit was erased, the Dayton Accord was reached, the cost of living fell, wages rose, and all boats were raised.

Let's see how the folks in Maine feel about it next week.

Did it not? Al Gore, Hillary probably paid for Bill's behavior. As is it might have cost them the election. Even though they were not to blame.
I am afraid this guy is going to cost us.
Defending him might not be worth it.

as the driven snow before they'll support them, no matter how disastrous the alternative will be. Republicans know this, and they consistently use Democrats' moral squeamishness to their advantage. It's not that we shouldn't care about Platner's failings as a man, it's that we urgently need to regain control of the Senate in order to effect change. Trump can do so much more damage over the next 31 months, we need to stop him. I'm tired of all this purity shit.

regaining the Senate if our candidate didn't have all these issues before he was even nominated.
But maybe it's just me.
