    Centrists are taking their victory lap. Collins will not be defeated by someone running as a progressive after decades of centrist failures.

    The Senate will remain in Republican hands.

    Centrists are so happy that a democratic candidate has rape allegations.

      Platner could have won and nothing would have changed. USian politics is all kayfabe. They’re all on the same side, even if they play it up when the cameras are rolling. The Democratic Party will always have a few “defectors” to keep them from passing legislation, by design; if those representatives are replaced, someone else will fill the role. You can’t vote your way out of a corrupt system.

        Well I personally think you’re wrong about one point. I think it should be “United State American” so abbreviation should be Usan and Usans.

      It’s win win for the dnc, either get their preference in or can go see they can’t win like we said!

      The question is still is this incompetence on vetting platner or them seeing how bad a candidate can be and win simply by being white and saying Medicare For All
