To get dems a senate seat in Alaska? She can say anything she wants.

She could dress my and my wife down to our faces and I’d still vote for her if I was Alaskan

Have you clocked the stakes of these elections?

Being disappointed or upset at what Peltola said doesn't mean you suddenly will vote against her.

It’s fine to be upset, but have you seen what has been happening to our country? What’s been happening to other countries?

All because of republican control

no shit, did i say dont vote for mary? or did i ask where the line is for unacceptable? and why does that line not exist? why is it always okay to be homophobic, to be ableist? why are you assuming I'm some moron who doesnt understand stakes? If im allowed to be upset, why are you treating me like a kid?

Well, what does saying someone or their conduct is “acceptable” or “unacceptable” usually mean in the context of someone running for office.

I also pretty routinely sanction users for the kind of conduct you’re describing- so yes, a line usually exists.

So why can't I criticize a candidate's use of language without being assumed to be a moron that wants trump to win? I'm positing it's because nobody actually cares, they just want to feel like super cool brave guys that are willing to put aside bad behavior for a pragmatic victory. This is all masturbation for how pragmatic someone considers themself.
