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.
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
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 keep seeing it framed as we are the unreasonable purists because he "didn't know it was a Nazi symbol" and "he has changed from those Reddit comments", and people can change. Despite how this is never extended to actual progressive candidates that the establishment doesn't like and completely ignores the most damning part of his record, which is that he did multiple tours in Iraq and worked for Blackwater. Though I know libs don't see that as damning because the troops are good and brave war criminals, it is just that Bush and Trump made them do more war crimes than they would have done otherwise.
And I am reasonable. I just don't think that someone running for public office is owed being elevated or praised or given benefit of the doubt. If he was a normal person that earnestly changed and made real, tangible actions to show it, he can be welcomed back into society. But just because he said he changed after running for office, he shouldn't be automatically given forgiveness. If you are in Maine and vote for this asshole, I mean the Republican is likely a fascist too, and the party will force him to be about as much of a fascist as any other Democrat, his personal beliefs be damned. So I wont really hold it against you more than voting for a Republican or Democrat. My main issue is the extreme selectiveness of these people in saying "well he may have said and did those things, but he said he's sorry. We have to give people room to learn and change their minds" despite the fact that this is the most sure indicator that he is not meaningfully Left or Progressive. If the Democrat establishment wasn't on his side we would never hear the end of things about how he expressed Antisemitism that is unforgivable by implying a killed Palestinian was human and their killing a crime back in the 1990's or because he expressed some socialist views he wants to nationalize your toothbrush.
Also, Platner is the perfect example of these Soc-Dem losers (I am looking at you Jacobin) confusing something being adjacent to blue collar work with "working class". This guy is the most slam-dunk case of petite bourgeois, but because his business involves farming clams he has to be working class.
