| Topic | Graham Platner said assault victims needs to "take responsibility" |

But if a progressive challenger were to appear in the D primary that was against the filibuster and didn't have the show-stoppers that Platner has, that would be a good candidate to consider. I think we need to look at this on a case by case basis because Platner is not the first gruff dude to trick progressives on the basics of aesthetics. He had red flags from the get go that got ignored. So did Fetterman, Randy "Ironstache" Bryce, Tulsi Gabbard, etc. Like it really feels sometimes that aesthetics are the things that matter most and I think Platner and the others need to provoke a real look at this that just saying the right thing shouldn't be enough. And likewise look if "What appeals to ME" is actually something that plays well with the broader electorate as a whole because that's another issue online spaces have a hard time with. --- Ring the bells that still can ring/Forget your perfect offering/There is a crack in everything/That's how the light gets in."- RIP, Leonard Cohen ...
