I don't want Fetterman in the GOP, but I sure am happy he's in the DNC, and I certainly hope he manages to stay in office for a while.

Maybe that's the goal?  Perhaps the DNC ran the numbers and figured out that he was likely to win even without DNC support, and therefore they could comfortably throw him under the bus, not to get rid of him, but to avoid getting tarred with his fascism in their own races.

I'd say that's possible, but unlikely.  Democrats are shrewd but not Machiavellian.

Hold on.  You see your rapist on video, and you get fired up?

Are there any female posters out there who can help me reconcile this?

You don't have to be crazy to be a democratic socialist, but ... well, maybe you do.

Progressive Victory says they’ve heard claims that Troy Jackson, a potential replacement candidate for Graham Platner, “in a heated disagreement struck a female colleague with a bottle he threw at her.”

https://twitter.com/DSA_Watch/status/2074448892842639610
------------------------
The guy who hurls bottles at women seems to be Ro Khanna's choice. Does Maine have any dem socialist males who don't abuse women?

Ro Khanna
@RoKhanna
.@TroyJackson207 is someone who has spent his life standing up for these progressive values. The movement is about standing for Medicare for All, opposing foreign wars, and getting money out of politics.

Democrats tripped over themselves to endorse this predatory pretender, even though they knew that he had attacked everything but Pearl Harbor. 

The claims were ignored and deemed deniable, until one of them came from a certified AWFL Democrat, who unlike the others, now Must Be Believed.

Here's One of the Names Being Floated As a Replacement for Graham Platner

Democrats are looking at Nirva Shah, the former Biden administration CDC Director.

Bernie Sanders tells Platner to withdraw..per Fox

Bernie Sanders is out.

“I have spoken with Graham Platner about the best path forward for Maine. In light of these very serious allegations, I have recommended that he step aside.”

Yikes!  This should have a thread of its own!

Especially in tandem with Mitch's wife's personal trip to China while her husband is brain-dead from a stroke.
