I'm just glad you've found a way to personally come to peace with your hypocrisy.

All voting is harm reduction and I don't see a single harm that would actually be reduced by putting Coleman in his seat You know that the Republicans would have a majority either way, right

Even in Kansas, one vote can make a difference, particularly to the actual people potentially harmed by the actions of its government. If you're not one of those people, I understand why moral preening for social media points is a higher priority.

Jesus Christ "moral preening" I'm pretty sure you don't live in Kansas either and you're not in the demographic of people typically worried about being abused or assaulted or seeing that behavior modeled by people in power

Also you really don't think character intersects with credibility on policy at all, do you? The only impression I get from Coleman is someone who shouts leftist talking points because it gets him approval from his peers and pisses off people he enjoys trolling

I've made my thoughts on personal character in politics clear. Read the stuff you quote:https://twitter.com/BMarchetich/status/1297277488456818688 …

Branko Marcetic @BMarchetichIn conclusion, personal conduct is of course an important metric for deciding who to politically support, but it is one metric of many, as the Biden-Trump race reminds us. Treating it as the be-all and end-all is counter-productive, and will be weaponised by the powerful.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

There is *no* metric that Coleman beats Frownfelter on other than his platform, much of which has to do with issues he would have no power to do anything about in his seat (Medicare for All, Green New Deal, etc)

"There is no metric Coleman beats Frownfelter on, except for his policies and political beliefs, which are irrelevant to politics." This you btw?pic.twitter.com/OCZytAz9kF

I have avoided discussing Joe Biden or the many reasons to dislike him because I am very reluctantly voting for him in November as the least bad of bad options If you go back in my timeline I think you'll find it hard to call me a "Biden supporter"

Again, if you actually think Coleman vs. Frownfelter is equivalent to Biden vs. Trump, you'll have to make that case much more clearly than you have so far, including making a much stronger case for why Frownfelter is Trump

I am voting for Biden over Trump because I greatly dislike Biden but I think Trump is worse than Biden on EVERY metric that you could possibly name (character, competence, stated positions, actual demonstrated positions, etc) That is clearly not the case for Frownfelter
