Dude almost 60 and was anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ even after he switched to being a Democrat.
He’s hitting that age where people naturally start acting like when they were 20 again, falling back on habit and assumptions.
Doesn’t matter for Bernie because when he was 20 he was protesting for civil rights. What got Jackson into politics was complaining about migrant worker.
Jackson will only continue to become more conservative thoughout the 6 year term he just got handed despite failing miserable at anything bigger than state senator.
I hope this works out, but it’s almost a certainly not going to.
I’m not saying that Platner wasn’t scummy, but this worked out very conveniently for the corpo Dems.
All it takes these days is enough money and you can buy literally any political seat in this country.
People still think the U.S. is the least corrupt nation in the world.
We got our new Fetterman! Fetterman can safely fuck off and become the Republican he always was and the Democrats don’t need to worry about actually passing anything helpful, Jackson will save them with his concern for the nature of xyz bill.
The illusion of choice. The political system in this country is absolutely fucked.
