On a personal note, Nancy Pelosi's office granted me the opportunity to serve as a school year House Page in 2002 after I served the summer terms and didn't want to leave.
So I kind of owe her one of the most formative experiences of my life.

I think many of the criticisms of her are valid, but damned if she wasn't the sharpest and most effective political operator of her generation from either party. What a career.

I was an intern for Presidential Classroom during college, and Dick Cheney was a guest speaker one week.
I'll never forget how ... normal he was. A gruff grandpa, telling kids about being President of the Senate. There was, dare I say, warmth to him?
Made his evil all the more chilling to me.

Kat Abugazeh’s campaign has crossed a threshold where the risk she’s taking is significant enough and the actions admirable enough I sorta am past caring if it’s a publicity stunt/brand building exercise or not, it’s still brave and worthy of respect.

the through line of "got an accidental nazi tattoo while drunk" to "regularly takes shirt off at the bar" to "starts a senate campaign with no experience and no plan to address any of this" to "gets a terrible coverup overnight" is "total lack of judgment and impulse control"

speaking for myself, being an ironic hipster is really symptomatic of the big problems in the world. "Oh that Nazi tattoo? That's a joke, I was in Croatia, a former Nazi puppet state, and I was drunk, I honestly didn't know it was a Nazi tattoo anyway, nothing means anything"

Most generous read of what happened:
-He got the tattoo in ignorance
-He got photographed with the tattoo either still ignorant or before correcting his mistake
-He corrected his mistake some time before running for Senate, not knowing there was photographic evidence.
Still pretty disqualifying.

You have to be willing to walk away from these guys if they let you down, just as a matter of basic self respect. It's not a fandom. You're hiring them to do a job or not.
I liked the Platner ads too but I think there's a difference between "guy who had some bad reddit posts a decade ago" and "ex-Blackwater merc who still has a Nazi tattoo." Sucks bigtime that he's the only one taking positions and talking policy I like, but them's the breaks!
