So....the center lefters are yipping like annoying chihuahuas again in light of the Platner accusations, going on about how they were right all along and that we shouldn't get "credit" or "brownie points" for turning against him now, and that we should have been against him all along, and that the other accusations and the tattoo should have been the end.
Well, here's my unfiltered response, given this is my blog and not some subreddit where I have to be somewhat polite:
SCREW YOU!
Seriously, screw you guys. You guys have had it out for progressives for 10 years, and any opportunity you guys have to tank a candidate of ours, you'll take it. And even more so, screw your respectability politics, and your weird moralizing. Im not like other lefties where I care about weird overt displays of morality and virtue signals, I'm dirtbag left all the way. And I'm here to see my own agenda passed into law. I'm more like a blue Mitch McConnell than I am you. And your way of doing politics is the way of losers. I don't want your forgiveness. I don't want your approval. Screw you guys. Seriously.
As far as Platner goes, his tattoo was some dumb### mistake he made in the armed forces. He's rough around the edges, but understanding combat veterans who have been through the meat grinder and suffer PTSD from it, well...I know they can be some pretty dark MFers sometimes. I'm perfectly willing to tolerate some imperfections, and I ain't gonna abandon a candidate that suits my own agenda because of mild imperfections, when doing so hands YOU PEOPLE (center left establishment types) a huge political win.
But let's face it, when the dude literally raped someone (allegedly), and his poll numbers are tanking where he cant win, well, it's a strategic choice. Just because I dont like center left MFers and their respectability politics doesn't mean I like the right either. And against Trump and his agenda, it's all hands on deck. So if the numbers say platner can't win, and taking platner's current borderline numbers and assuming a scandal tanks the dude by several more points, well....then it's time to replace him. But keep in mind, this is a cynical decision for me. While I certainly don't support a literal rapist, my main motivation is being driven by "yeah okay, this is bad, let's dump him."
You center left guys can call me "blue MAGA" all you want and how I make the same moral decisions the right does, but hey, the right understands the long game. They understand the need to take power and to wield it to pass an agenda. You center left losers with your hand wringing and pearl clutching don't. And let's face it, you actually DO understand it when you want to, after all, you cynically wield power against us whenever you have the opportunity, you are just big on these public displays of virtue that I never found appealing.
So...I'll be blunt, I don't want your forgiveness, I don't want brownie points. I don't want to be accepted in your eyes. We're still political enemies. I just understand that sometimes the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and my greater enemy is MAGA and the right. That's ALL this is.
