I see this as vetting candidates. I have only a few reservations about Mayo Pete (as "they" call him on Twitter) one is that he seems to be a closet misogynist with a white male savior complex.

Slate just ran a hit piece on Rachel Maddow KelleyKramer Mar 2019 #1
But it was their TV media critic William Seger Mar 2019 #7
My point is, Slate hit piece is not 'Democrats' attacking Pete KelleyKramer Mar 2019 #17
The Slate article referenced in the OP ... William Seger Mar 2019 #20

The Democratic party is becoming ridiculous . You MUST "check all the boxes" PROPERLY to qualify! oldsoftie Mar 2019 #12
Are you sure that was the Democratic party doing it and not the repub trolls? Perseus Mar 2019 #14
You dont recall the open criticism of Barack Obama not being "black enough"? oldsoftie Mar 2019 #19
A twitter troll or two are now "some liberal voices?" OneBro Mar 2019 #16
Perfectly said, they can't resist attacking their own. I guess it's OK to attack Pete though pdsimdars Mar 2019 #21
For me it has never been about which boxes they check off, it's who they are and their ideas. pdsimdars Mar 2019 #22
