The people who did nothing to stop it are those who didn't show up and vote for Kamala Harris and every Dem they could for House and Senate.

THOSE are the people responsible for all of this.

Democrats did everything they could to warn about exactly this happening.

Having a SS Death Camp Nazi Tattoo for twenty years should be disqualifying all by itself. It's weird that it's not for you.

But even ignoring that, there's the long and recent history of racist, sexist, and homophobic posts on social media, along with all his lies about his past.

Also: He KNEW.

That's not even slightly a valid comparison. Sorry.

It is the civic duty of every citizen in a representative republic to show up and vote for the kind of country they want. There were two clear, polar opposite choices. There is NO EXCUSE for not voting Harris to stop Trump. Period.

Bernie is a lazy mediocre old unaccomplished grifting fraud who is casually racist and blatantly sexist, who (like Trump) centers straight white male grievance over everything else. He's terrible, he's only ever UNDERMINED progress, and he chooses the worst people to surround himself with.

"Talarico appeals to everyone with his economic & social message."

Does he tho?

I think you're assuming an awful lot here.

Also: How does completely ignoring the Black Community and their concerns and preferences work out, usually? Yeah, it never ends well, does it? You think it's different now?

The brain is an organ. Mental illnesses are illnesses of that organ. Brain scans show that there is a physical difference between a healthy brain and a sick brain. Telling someone "You're not really sick. It's all in your head." is like telling someone with asthma "It's not real, it's all in your lungs." The brain is an organ that can malfunction as much as any other organ.

Mental Health is important, and mental illness is no joke.

Too many people are too dismissive about this entire topic.

Educate yourself, and don't be a dick. There are people hurting and suffering, in a society that barely cares about physical healthcare, let alone mental healthcare.

Be kind.

Janet Mills is an experienced, well-liked, qualified candidate that has won state-wide elections in Maine before. Come on.

The alternative is a completely inexperienced, unqualified, dishonest, lying, bigoted, problematic tool.

This is not a difficult choice. But then, 2016 & 2024 weren't either.

Someone needs to tell that store's managers the whole "Nazi Bar" story, goddammit.

That would work out infinitely better than voting for Platner in the primary.

The GOP is just ITCHING to run against him. Their smear machine will destroy him. It doesn't matter how well he polls right now against Collins. He would lose to her in a landslide. Mills at least has a chance to win.

There is no universe in which Platner wins against Collins.

The fact that you think polling this far out, before the general, is in any way meaningful, exposes your ignorance of how things work.

Hillary was polling double-digits ahead of Trump in 2016. It didn't matter, did it? Platner is awful.

Except we're trillions in debt. And who owns most of that debt? China and Saudi Arabia. All they have to do is stop buying treasuries and financing our debt, and suddenly there's no money to build weapons of war. And if the GOP just prints more? Welcome to hyper-inflation. The economy will TANK.

It's the VOTERS' job to show up and vote for the best of the two presented options. Period.

Voters failed. They failed to do their homework, they failed to care about marginalized people, they failed to care about their own country. They actively put a monster in charge. They own this. Not Dems.

Lying about Chuck Schumer may get you attention online, but it will also slowly degrade your soul.

More bad faith bullshit.
I don't engage with trolls, I block them.
And that's all you are.

Your "opinion" was ill-informed bullshit and you were rightly called out for it. Don't blame others for their reactions to your idiocy. You're the source here. Like I said, you shoulda just sat down and ate your food & not pontificated on things you clearly don't understand.

This is not your lane.

I think you’re mistaking one kind of apathy (“I know the stakes and choose to do nothing to help”) with the kind I’m talking about (“I don’t know the stakes and have checked out completely from politics.”)

I am not talking about people who post about politics on social media. That’s not apathy.

There’s a real desire on the part of that first group of people — who are nihilists at best, ratfuckers at worst — that we should bend the knee to them. Going after them is a waste of energy. Indeed, their goal is often specifically to waste the energy of others.

Billions of dollars, decades of progress spent eliminating devastating diseases may be lost with undoing of USAID Public health campaigns had made significant strides toward eradicating diseases like elephantitis and river blindness. But this progress has since unraveled with the second Trump administration.

JFC, WTF is wrong with you?

Oh fuck off with your utter bullshit.

Ok, but why is Graham Platner actually a thing? Wtf is wrong with yall?

The Harris campaign performed well, as far as campaigns go, in that she was multiple points closer in the swing states the campaign focused on, and had a smaller loss than most of the world's incumbent parties.

There wasn't One Weird Trick she didn't do, nor One Big Mistake that cost it all. Sorry.

So Parker is either lying now or she was lying then. Amazing.

There is nothing good faith about your posts. Sorry to disabuse you of that notion.

You're attacking a really good person for NO GOOD REASON, because you know nothing and you're deeply misinformed, and just being a hateful little bitch right now.

Fuck you.

Parker Molloy is just the worst.
Fucking hell.

Yeah, I got added to that today too.

Oh my god that's hilarious!

Yeah, it's great when you find a good recipe.

I literally have no idea how the turkey burger I had there was made, it was just the little (and I mean little) in-resort cafe. But it was unlike every turkey burger I'd had up until that point (I was 'meh/okay' on them before that). I miss it.
