1. Of course there's a double standard. The question is why we play into it. The problem isn't getting better MAGA candidates, it's standing up for our side. Look who the Democrats put up!! They're awful candidates! They don't care! Anyone who tries to MAGA will be crucified in the press... just is. Put up the candidate and then support them... period.
2. Oh yeah... thanks.
“We” are not playing into anything. Moderates are and there are a ton of them in PA. Why aren’t Maga’s knocking on doors and letting their neighbors know the context behind all this (they still probably think there will be a red wave)? My point is there are people on this site that will not vote for people like Oz because he beat their golden child Barnette; who is completely batshyt crazy and would have been worse than Mastriano by a mile!
