this is contrary to the social media reaction of deciding never to vote for someone perceived as a potential op with a history like platner's. jacobin knows this, it's contrarianism. also, they are specifically addressing establishment dems in this article and not online reaction. the post triggers

Jacobin @jacobinmag.bsky.social · 14h

Establishment Democrats spent a full year complaining the Left forced them to be “woke.”

But then a left populist, Graham Platner, threatened to win in Maine, so they went right back to trying to cancel someone over old internet posts.

Make statues of this.

A woman in what looks like business attire with a black handbag over her shoulder stands in front of an armed vehicle flipping the bird with both hands. Unfortunately a friend sent this to me, I don’t know who the hero woman is or the photographer

People need to remember that among those Jeffries considers his closest allies there was intense pressure to not endorse. Think less of the individual personality and more of what is incentivizing these people to act the way they do. Jeffries endorsed in spite of this because of Mamdani's strength.

Asked why he's refused to endorse Mamdani, Hakeem Jeffries replies: "I have not refused to endorse; I have refused to articulate my position"

“The president demolished the White House.”

“The president politicized the FBI and DOJ to go after his opponents.”

“The president is why life is more expensive today.”

“The president was besties with Epstein.”

Messaging isn’t hard and makes you wonder why Dems aren’t saying this every day.

if you have a family member or friend that really annoys you from time to time, and your emotions sometimes get the best of you making you say something rude to them - next time, try to really focus on what you're feeling WHEN you're feeling it. it's a fucking trip, you kinda just feel a numbness
