25. Why are you scolding DUers?

Thu Oct 23, 2025, 01:00 PM

Thursday

I'm guessing there are very few "privileged white males" here

The DUers who've supported Platner did so because of his populist economic message. That support has been wobbling with each new revelation of his past actions. None of them have called Harris a "war criminal"

Your only evidence is dragging crap here from Threads.

Eww. Why are you hanging out on rightwing forums?
