People claiming that "the establishment" doesn't care about Platner's allegations but just that he spoke out against Israel and that establishment dems actually just want gridlock in the senate.

I'm still dismayed by the extent to which some commentators are trying to evade the fact that the unpleasant, but straightforwardly correct course of action, post-tattoo-reveal, was to back the unpopular establishment gerontocrat. If that's not factionalism & negative polarization, what is?

After 8 months of triumphalist chest beating, spare me the sudden smol beanism of "actually the guy exploding worse than a Musk rocket doesn't mean you can make any judgements about that theory" For one thing, Chris is pretending Platner's only flaw was the one he shares with Swalwell.

nah, this take ain't it. I think maybe Chris should've kept avoiding the discourse. I feel like we've gone way too far in the epicycles on this. You can't explain Platner with pure factionalism—you need toxic gender and elite insecurity mixed in. But neither can you erase the huge factional part!

I've been waiting for this bubble to burst for a while. The fact that some AI policy people continue to get ever more unhinged suggests it's only a matter of time. People need to realize it's only somewhat fancier automation than we have already Like internet it won't change everything overnight

Be sure to remember people like this as you are told that Platner had nothing to do with the populist left.

Person explaining they dislike liberals as rule bound repressive elitists while linking to a liberal currents article insisting Platner must go.

Millions of immigrants entered USA decades ago - before ID was even required to legally migrate. Most are good, honest, hard working, responsible tax-payers like Lorenzo Salgado Araujo - unlike Trump, who’s a lifelong criminal, fraud, rapist, pedophile, Kremlin owned, fascist, racist lying traitor.

Swalwell was out in under 24hrs. Platner *still has not dropped out*. It took multiple rounds of campaign-ending scandals to finally get him to even *consider it*, and he still has categorically refused to take responsibility for any of it. Stop trying to draw equivalency here.

Schumer had a plan to win back the Senate, but some Democrats aren't on board

Folks stop pretending you have the brain of a gold fish. Platner was popular because he was a rejection of Schumer and he moved over to him after his person dropped out. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol... If he refused to endorse any dem in that race you would still be bitching.

Democrats are fighting over whether the party's traditional playbook still works in a country that elected Donald Trump for a second time — and whether leaders like Schumer should remain in charge.

I'm seeing multiple people generalize that "bluesky" was right about Platner like people weren't crashing out at any criticism of him for months on this site. Get a grip and accept that racism, sexism, and antisemitism are not just Republican problems.

The fact that "purity test" and "vote blue no matter who" were weaponized by people who refused to apply this logic to anyone outside of Platner does not change the fact his entire appeal was NOT being the democratic establishment.

As absurd as it is the use of "ratfucking" here feels particularly off putting. Like my culture as a maladjusted angry Dem on the internet has been appropriated. Probably because it insinuates that Platner was on the team, which is upsetting to contemplate.

Up until Mills dropped out, the dividing line almost exclusively went progressive->pro-Platner, centrist/establishment Dem -> pro-Mills You're painting some *media voices* as part of the centrist/establishment dynamic, when it's been known for *years* that the media sphere is anti-establishment-Dem

Progressive / Insurgent Camp (12
voices/groups)
Platner's institutional support came entirely from the progressive wing of the party, which viewed his candidacy as an economic populist vehicle to unseat both Susan Collins and the party establishment.
U.S. Senators (4): Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), and Martin Heinrich (D-NM).
U.S. Representatives (1): Ro Khanna (D-CA).
National Progressive Organizations (6): The Working Families Party (endorsed March 30, 2026), Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC), Progressive Victory, Leaders We Deserve, Common Defense Action Fund, and Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ).
Local Grassroots Groups (1): Maine People's Alliance (an early foundational endorsement from May 2025).

Centrist / Establishment Camp (0 voices/groups)
Before Mills suspended her campaign, zero establishment or centrist political voices supported Platner. The party apparatus was actively aligned against him.
The Centrist Coalition: National figures like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer were fully committed to Janet Mills.
Establishment PACs: Mainstream power brokers like EMILY's List and Track AIPAC focused their resources entirely on backing Mills' primary bid.

Lol of course, it wasn't a campaign it was a "movement." If you don't support Platner it could only ever be because you have working people, obviously.
