1. I feel bad for Platner and now I feel bad for the party

Wed Jul 8, 2026, 08:33 PM

Wednesday

I agreed with every word Platner said tonight. I’ve been a Bernie Sanders supporter and donated heavily to his Presidential runs, but Sen Sanders lost my respect and any future support due to his lack of courage and conviction by failing to take a moral stand.

The America I knew is dead. I’m just glad that I’ll be dead before things become unbearably worse.
