Graham Planter was a mistake:

101. Oh, so we hide all his red flags?

Why? Because he's for Medicare for all? We ignore his rape apologia, his Nazi tat, his many other - and relatively recent - foul statements?

People here and elsewhere smeared the hell out of Janet Mills, a good, solid Democrat who has done a lot for her state. Oh, but she's old!!11

He should have been thrown to the curb the second the Nazi tat came out. Instead, we're possibly stuck with a very publicly flawed nominee. Because why? Because his supporters brushed off his flaws and made up crap about Mills (AIPAC sound familiar?).

At some point we have to actually vet candidates realistically. Platner threatens all of our Senate candidates. I can already see Paxton coming out with ads saying Talarico and his party support Nazis who are sexual predators.

But sure, let's just close our eyes about it all.
