Platner Is a Hilarious Symptom of Progressive Failure
Kurt Schlichter
Look, it makes sense to be concerned that the progressives who are trying to run a coup on the Democrat Party are now openly calling themselves “socialists,” but don’t forget that we have an advantage. They are morally bankrupt nincompoops who have been beaten by the establishment like the rented mules they are. Do progressive Democrats have any self-respect at all? It’s a legitimate question. The Democrat establishment, those ancient, corrupt, sleazeball party hacks, keep humiliating the eager Leftists, and they keep taking it. Their repeating the mantra “Vote blue, no matter who” is like slapping a “Kick Me” sign on their collective collectivist back.
The Leftists are not harmless, but they are also not unstoppable. Sure, the socialists have grabbed a few urban seats in deep blue areas, in each case trading one long- established geriatric communist for a slightly more Palestinian-focused, but much younger, kind of communist, but that is just playing around the margins. That’s all the establishment has allowed them to do. Graham Platner was going to be their coming-out candidate in not-deep blue redoubts. Now, the bosses have shived him, and the poor progressives are just going to have to take it.
I’d be embarrassed for them if I wasn’t so busy laughing at them.
