Been a while since I mentioned it-

I'm an attorney in the Portland, OR area currently running a solo practice but looking for a position with a firm

His slogan makes more sense now

I don't think anyone is under the impression that you are capable of apologizing

CB @cbowers.bsky.social · 2d

Sure thing

many of us were already aware that there were marines using nazi symbols. apparently only some of us took issue with that

CB @cbowers.bsky.social · 3d

oooooh, it's fine because all your brother's friends are nazis

thanks for clearing that up

CB @cbowers.bsky.social · 3d

for some reason it's the mustard one being white that bothers me the most

CB @cbowers.bsky.social · 3d

I'm not sure what "in touch" could possibly mean here other than "I like Bernie and don't like you"

"my brother who hangs out with people who are bothered by the black panthers but not bothered by nazis"

yeah, that's what we're all saying

CB @cbowers.bsky.social · 3d

the guy you're responding to is a weird inverse of the people making $400k/yr and insisting that they struggle to make ends meet

CB @cbowers.bsky.social · 3d

I didn't say it can't achieve anything

CB @cbowers.bsky.social · 3d

in the way that principles still exist even when they are being violated. you run out of things to criticize him for if you abandon the principles

CB @cbowers.bsky.social · 3d

sure, but stretched enough it becomes effectively meaningless to credit 'populism'

CB @cbowers.bsky.social · 3d

yes?

CB @cbowers.bsky.social · 3d

is he?

Did you not read where he already understood people offering this empty response?

CB @cbowers.bsky.social · 3d

55k is the residence

CB @cbowers.bsky.social · 3d

opposition to it was also very much populist

CB @cbowers.bsky.social · 3d

the good news is that they designed a completely different building for the exterior renders, that one might pass review

CB @cbowers.bsky.social · 3d

no, it still matters

it might even be the case that the path to redemption eventually arrives as the senate. it just doesn't start there.

CB @cbowers.bsky.social · 3d

I won't say it's not a problem, but those examples suggest that the filtering process lets strong candidates through. Beating Collins is going to take a *very* strong candidate.

CB @cbowers.bsky.social · 3d

eh, not sure I'd credit the civil rights movement as populist

CB @cbowers.bsky.social · 3d

You keep treating ‘enthusiastic grassroots support’ as if it places someone off limits. Any candidate is going to have to operate in the real world where they will face scrutiny

I've never actually listened to Pod Save America. Is it usually fucking stupid?

Collins has a strong position in the state, *any* opponent she faces has an uphill battle. Testing candidate quality now is a really good thing
