... when others call him out on his ageist remarks, he doubles down. No, that's not naive... just just being an ass... and doing it intentionally. And a mean-spirited one as well. I have no use for him. Others were giving him a free pass because of his age or because of the trauma he experienced... but he hasn't aged out of it, he's never apologized. I do not think he has demeanor for anything other than being an angry agitator who lashes out without thinking, treating friends as enemies. He doesn't strengthen us, he divides us. And that weakens us. I wish he'd go away and I wish the people would stop providing oxygen to the little fires he sets. (Myself included... that's all I have to say about him.)

He's giving the benefit of a doubt to a Republican that he wouldn't give to a Democrat. RandySF Apr 16 #4

Are you saying that he wouldn't have given Mary Peltola a chance to explain her positions, Ilikepurple Apr 16 #24

Such a mystery. She is moderating because she is running for Governor. travelingthrulife Apr 19 #86

I don't understand the hate for this young guy either. Democrats can be just as bad as Repukes. If you don't agree with Pisces Apr 16 #7

Do you have a link to Hogg celebrating Peltola's defeat? TIA Celerity Apr 16 #14

That is not a celebration. It is a critique. nt Celerity Apr 16 #19

"Good riddance". Sounds like a type of celebration. It sounds Nixie Apr 17 #61

Excellent posts on the subject matter. Thank you. Nixie Apr 19 #83

It is interesting that a critique of political strategy is being reframed as an issue of "manners" or age. QueerDuck Apr 16 #42
