He is the most logical pick to replace Platner and the DNC would have preferred multiple other people before Jackson. I think it’s the best shot around so it’s weird why any leftist would have an issue with the pick.
It’s interesting though that a life in politics and a life outside politics both tend to come with baggage of different sorts. Bernie being the main exception among people who largely got on board with gay rights in the 90s or early 2000s. Bernie was always on board.
The nice thing is we can actually research how Jackson has voted. For instance, in 2024, he voted yes on LD227, a law that declares a legal right to gender-affirming care and reproductive health care services.
Apart from the second paragraph that sounds like every terrible American politician.

Well, people can change. Let’s hope he did.

People said the same about Platner and a few other politicians. Just saying it’s not the best endorsement.
“Fuck it. We’ll do it live.”
It’s not an endorsement, I know next to nothing about the man. However, I am allowed to hope for something good to happen once in a while.
And he’s still better than Collins either way
