Not wanting candidates with Nazi tats is now an insane purity test I guess.
It is so lucky for Democrats that this kind of discourse is no longer on Twitter where the national media and politicians would see it. Better for it to be sealed off in this asylum. This is genuinely just insane.
Robert Byrd seemed to genuinely repent for his past and spent decades atoning for it, to the point where the NAACP mourned his death as the loss of a civil rights champion. People can indeed change.
But there's no sign of a similar arc of sincere repentance and reckoning in Platner's case.

Human rights aren’t a “purity test,” what is wrong with you?
Literally substitute any group for trans and tell me how it sounds:
“Women’s rights are a purity test.”
“Race-based rights are a purity test.”
“Disability rights are a purity test.”
Is this really who you want to be?

I accept the argument that the left has too many purity tests but it beats having none and palling around with racists

Yes, it’s genuinely insane to be concerned that a candidate *checks notes* had a SS tattoo on his chest for 20 years.
Purity tests, am I right?

"Purity politics" = not wanting my rights to be taken away. Okay. You're just okay with fascism. Admit it.

The "purity test" here is "will you support my right to exist in public."

Let's say someone makes a polite post about how protecting rights of trans people is a purity test we all should avoid. And someone else replies and tell them to go fuck themselves. Which one of these would be considered toxic low-quality one?

Bernie mentoring the next generation of progressives gives me hope.
Time for a big ol’ messy big tent movement, y’all.
No more purity politics.
Solidarity for the win. 🙌

I do know that when you are a political novice, a primary is exactly the place where voters are supposed to weigh your speech acts and make judgements about your discernment. Again, not a purity test.

When the state begins speaking in the language of purity and duty, history warns what comes next.

Never concede ground to Nazis. Post Tolkien's letter about Aryan purity instead. lithub.com/on-the-time-...
On the time J.R.R. Tolkien refused to work with Nazi-leaning publishers.
This week marks the 130th birthday of J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings writer, academic, and pranking enthusiast—and today we’re revisiting a time Tolkien stood up for his beliefs a…

I think Alan's use of the word "purity" may have been misleading. I don't think he's referring to racial purity, but to people who believe that Americans are good at heart.

This isn't a purity test. This is basic human decency. We either all float or we all drown.

I don't think it's purity testing to be suspicious of the ex blackwater guy who's had a Nazi tattoo for over 10 years, and his apology video where he blamed the criticism on the system trying to keep him down felt very dishonest.

"purity test" screeching is loser behavior regardless of which end of the Dem coalition it comes from
lol Platner doing a 'wow, I guess i'm not pure enough for you huh' tour, really showing why he's got nothing on Zohran skillwise.
Zohran would just pivot back to affordability.
