30. Some Democratic voters can't put aside their personal morality issues, believing candidates should be pure

Thu Jun 4, 2026, 09:52 AM

Yesterday

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.
