How is this Democrat’s fault?

Yeah I don’t get this criticism. Wasn’t Platner the outsider candidate? The DSCC was showing favoritism towards Mills and most establishment Democrats were supporting her to run. The establishment Democrats tried to prevent Platner from winning, but Main voters seemed to overwhelmingly prefer the outsider.

And if Mills were the candidate, I bet some of the same people would be attacking the Dens for nominating another 80-year-old.

The Media uses Murc's Law:

Murc’s Law is “the widespread assumption that only Democrats have any agency or causal influence over American politics”. In other words, Democrats are responsible for Republicans being the way they are and doing the things they do, either because Democrats provoked them or failed to control them.
