There's that tolerance. She probably just doesn't want to support someone whose best friend is Hasan Piker.
Although the voter mindset was interesting at the end:
“I’m a Democrat. I’ll be voting for, well, the guy coming here. I can’t even pronounce his name, but I know at least he’s a Democrat.”
Incredible stuff.

YouGov with a slew of polls coming out. Reasonably in line with current projections and most are benefitting Dems.
Maine, Texas, Michigan at D +4 or better. Iowa at D+1 which is unusual given that I have Iowa as ever so slightly tilt-R right now.
Kansas and Ohio much closer. Ohio is a worrying one since I think Dems absolutely cannot lose Ohio but it was only D +2.

I think Progressive candidates who lose their primaries are awesome when it comes to falling in line and campaigning hard for the other candidate. It's the progressive base who have a problem with falling in line. Comparatively, establishment Dem voters will fall in line for more leftist candidate, but establishment Dem politicians who are bought by AIPAC are fucking horrendous. Fuck AIPAC.

Trump gives a blank check to other people adopting lying and exaggeration into their political discussion, because you can't outdo Trump, and you're lying for noble purposes.
You can quote them direct quotes from a Democratic Senatorial candidate, and four left-leaning outlets calling it a "walk back," and they'll double down in true Trumpian fashion. No problem.

There is a difference between lying and not using the correct technical terms. Especially when the correct terms are barely known.

We call those people pedo protectors. It's the same thing we call bishops/pastors/school principals who move priests/youth pastors/teachers around when they're accused of raping their parishioners or students.
Considering the absolute crazy lengths you've gone to play defense attorney for Trump, am I safe to assume you're one of the people that will vote for JD Vance to continue protecting Epstein clients?

By your own standards you walked back your own argument, yet here you are bringing it up again like it was a gotcha moment. Keep up the good work lol.
Also, the Rupert Murdoch-owned WSJ is "left-leaning"? Could you be a more obvious closet Republican?

I'm glad you're feeling better! That meltdown you had about dogs voting was extremely concerning. Have you figured out who won the 2020 election yet, or why you believe Biden is a bigger criminal than Trump?
