“if Democrats choose this guy over Mills, it will clearly be because they are bad people.” Cool, this is a great case in a world where likes and retweets translate to actual votes in the Maine Senate primary. But hey, at least when the guy you literally think is a Nazi wins, you can be smug about it
You support a Nazi-Curious failson with no legislative achievements. If he wins over Mills it shows that a majority of Maine voters are not to be trusted because they either support Collins or find repeated Nazi red flags not disqualifying.
The bulk of my arguments these last few days re: Platner have been trying to rationally explain why he is winning and why Democrats are actively refusing to recognize why. You believe that is “supporting him,” and your explanation of that is exactly the problem I’m talking about
I'm just going to point out, again, that this is not a real or serious argument but just a proxy for people to argue about their own personal politics. No one really thinks elections work like this, and 99.9% of the people arguing over this ultimately vote Democrat
Oh FFS; so does every elected governor, congressperson, and senator at both the state and federal level and they actually campaign and do town halls. Seriously, keep going with this. You will definitely tweet your way out of a double digit lead, no need to course correct at all.
Oh BALLS I’m going to spend so much money on this
The sheer state of lib denial about Platner‘s candidacy almost exactly mirrors the state of denial about Trumo’s. This person is simply not going to lose an election against somebody who is either unwilling or incapable of actually campaigning. Y’all are just waiting to learn the hard way, again.
I really thought losing catastrophically to Donald Trump, twice, would knock the idea out of liberals’ heads that you can win an election by tweeting about how the other guy sucks. Nope. You have literally nine days to wake the fuck up and find a candidate who isn’t older than the microwave oven.
Again: no level of histrionics from non-Mainers on Bluesky will alleviate the fact that Janet Mills has not held a single town hall since announcing her senate bid, either as a candidate or in her capacity as sitting governor. Platner has held more than 20.
There are a few things I hate more than having to defend Fetterman, but he has exactly the same legislative and policy stances as Joe Lieberman, whose vote for leadership we defended as necessary over all else. The real reason we all hate Fetterman is because he’s just an asshole about it.
Why would a state that’s voted blue for nearly 40 years refuse to elect a Democrat thus creating a situation where progressive policy is constantly stymied, THINK liberal THINK
Really need libs on here to stop with the line “Platner will be another Fetterman” as if that is not exactly what the gerontocracy of centrist Democrats who have kept Susan Collins in her seat for 30 years want in a senator
The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

I mean this only half jokingly but pretty much any country could just ship oil to Cuba right now and the US really couldn't do anything could it
That is… A very bizarre thing to say in the middle of eulogy.
There are no words in any language in any real or speculative realm that appropriately summarize how absolutely normal I am going to be about this

Screaming crying throwing up hurling furniture across rooms I love you all everything is wonderful and nothing hurts anymore
The stores in Atlanta are an atrocity and it’s entirely because they don’t have enough staff but locking everything in a case doesn’t need a salary and I guess placated the “roving gangs are pillaging the Walgreens” panic of 2022
The only real benefit Target holds over online retail is you can physically try on clothes, admittedly a significant aspect, and as mentioned above Target has EXCELLED at making it the least pleasant experience possible. I’ve been in dressing rooms with literal PILES of clothes left on the floor.
Amazon continues to eat brick&mortar retail’s asshole out because a 2-day wait is worth not dealing with the far less enjoyable experience of going out to a store to immediately get things you don’t usually need immediately. This is “bootlegging media is simply the easiest option” but for pants.
Jesus Christ, man, you need to apologize for your craven cowardice on the nonexistent “DEI” panic, hire more people to fix the disgusting unattended shelves due to chronic understaffing, and stop making people need security to unlock a cabinet to buy underwear. This isn’t complicated.
The most annoying discourse of 2026 will absolutely be pointing out how Kamala Harris so obviously could have sleepwalked into the CA governor’s mansion being met by countless accounts sneering how it’s “insulting” to say she should have “settled” for running the sixth largest economy on the planet
Much like Scott Brown winning a few cycles after the “MA changes Senate vacancy law to prevent GOP governor from picking Kerry’s replacement” play in 2004, CA Dems’ ignorant lack of foresight in instituting the jungle primary biting them back in the ass is as predictable as it is hilarious
Ear doctor: Don’t use Q-Tips
Me already imagining putting a screw driver I found in the driveway in my ear when I get home: I womt
Fetterman is basically a reactionary now: there is no real effort to explain why Mullin - a buffoon who spent the week insisting we are not at war with Iran - is qualified. Trump nominated Mullin, and that’s good enough for him.
Calling it now: at least 20 Democrats who are currently voting not to fund DHS will vote for the new person appointed to run it, and absolutely nobody will question this
Cori Bush needed to be defeated. And I’m glad the people in Missouri showed her the front door. Talking about they need Progressive voices. I’m okay with needing Progressive voices but we don’t need batshit voices.
“So much for electing black women to higher office”
Jasmine was the fighter that y’all wanted. But the minute she ran for higher office y’all bolted on her for the powdery white man. So much for wanting Black women in higher office. Don’t ever play in our faces again. Fuck y’all.

When you definitely deeply care about electing black women to the senate and have no ulterior agenda that is definitely not funded by the Chorus group
