yeah look the default bad Democratic candidate is either 'shitty tweets' or 'boringly careerist' and the default bad Republican candidate is 'serial rapist' or 'literal Nazi'

Kevin M. Kruse

If the entire Democratic Party is being asked by the press and pundits about a few DSA candidates in NYC, it seems like the entire Republican Party should be asked about their colleague who has been credibly accused -- by another colleague's daughter -- of repeated acts of violence.

It got load among a lot of his other stuff but this was one of James Carville's complaints about today's Democrats. They don't do any work to hang these people on Republicans generally.

the worst case scenario for dems here is you force them to triage a competitive seat.

There's no force on earth that can convince the press there's anything but two co-equal sides in the great game of American politics. If that were the case, the game might not be so lucrative, glamorous, or fun.

And somehow, the mainstream media treats both the same

There was a story on SF Gate just yesterday about how Gavin Newsom's shitty-but-consensual affair with the wife of a friend is being resurfaced as he considers running for president and I was like AYFKM? Is the press really going to pretend this is an issue vs the We Love Rape Party?

Give Ds some credit... They tried to run a guy with a Nazi tattoo and a history of SA allegations.

yeah but rather noticeably he was, in fact, forced out!

Ответ для BeijingPalmer

No doubt! But... It wasn't a good sign he got as far as he did. All of that shit was known before the primary.

We actually had two. There was Eric Swalwell in California and of course Platner. Swalwell was a representative but these issue came to light during his governor campaign

I don't even think this media thing is only a matter of right-wing media control. I think it's because democrats have actual standards and everyone knows the republicans don't and that they'll just lie and say they don't know or support the person anyway, so why ask?

Ответ для Genjibear

I don't disagree with this, btw. But it's kind of like "why don't they report that Trump lies about everything." Because they all know he's lying and think we all know he's lying and it's not newsworthy. It SHOULD be that republicans support people like this. But they think it's not so it's not.
