We had the spectacle of the Mueller investigation doing jack-all to undermine Trump. Libs keep thinking there’s some legal or bureaucratic mechanism that’s going to sink Trump, despite him wriggling out of it every time. Hell, by the time the next congress gets seated and they did start investigating, his second term would be nearly over by the time they could even get to any substantial repercussions.
Libs think Trump just needs to be shown how the law holds him to be wrong and "he'll do the honorable thing" and resign like Nixon.
What lesser evilism did, the options are "ex" nazi vs paedophile worshipper.
Good luck Americans!
it's like the presidential election where we had to vote between a diet-genocider and a full-fat-genocider.
i bet that the next election will be the same.
This article was at the top of my firefox blank tab today. Graham Kkkrakkker is an outsider who is going to shake things up but he’s also getting a lot of positive coverage from the Epstein press, hmmm, interesting.
It reminds me of articles about how Biden wants to do this and Biden wants to do that while all Biden can actually do is slaughter children and eat ice cream.
Also been thinking that the Mills campaign (in the dem primary) against Platner is so bad that it’s actually fake. The dems made her run to make it look less obvious that they want Platner to win. Although it’s kind of an open question if he’ll defeat Collins in November.
My hunch is that it’s not so much that Platner was their man from the get-go, but rather that after AOC, Tlaib, Ilhan, etc, the establishment has stepped up their game in getting their tendrils into nominally progressive outsider candidates early. They’ve realized they can’t ignore them, and brute-force spending them into defeat is unreliable, so now there’s more effort put into weaseling their way into these candidates’ good graces if there’s any sign they might have a realistic shot at winning.
As we have seen in the obamification of Mamdani
Mills is just a conceited old boomer trying to cap off a decades long political career with a Senate seat. She's running for the same reason Biden tried to run for president again and it's going about as well for the same reasons. Hell it wouldn't shock me if she's senile and her aides are just puppeting her to further their careers in Washington.
Platner got recruited by the Bernie people who sort of have some traction in the local labor movement, and the local labor movement hates Mills (with good reason). They really did pull him out of the woodwork. He was a nobody before this and I think it was a surprise to Mills and the state Dems that the Berniecrats put someone forward.
I still wouldn't be too shocked if Mills won the primary despite all this though. Platner is popular with young people but the average voter in Maine is like over 60 and the old folks don't like him.
I haven’t seen a single mills sign anywhere and I’m in the oldest part of an old state. All the ancient demokkkrats I despise are cuckoo for graham kkkrakkker.
I don't know what's worse - if this story is true or if it's a total lie. Also I'm stealing the bit I put in bold.
I’ve actually met him, heard him speak, seen how much he actually cares and is sick of the current system, the current weak Democratic party leadership. He wants change and since no one else seems to be doing anything about it, he’s running for senator. Probably the most down-to-Earth, honest and genuine candidate I’ve ever seen. He’s even refusing to play dirty politics with his campaign and it’s working. His competition here tried it and Mainers are just so sick of dirty political shit that it backfired.
Sure he’s got a troubled past, but he’s got my vote here in Maine. I wish there were more politicians like him.
"Those in Nazi tattoos shouldn't throw stones" - Parable of the wise Democrat who refused to play dirty TM
Slop.
