OK like I get it, Platner is a shitty candidate and dems should have done better. In other news the sky is blue. What's the goal of folks who are still trying to convince me of this? You want to hang on to Suzanne Collins? Serious question, I really don't get it.
After consulting with my attorney I’ve been advised that what I actually want to say about this would be ill-advised so I’ll just say that he couldn’t possibly be clearer about which side of D-Day he’s identifying with
