Which makes no sense at all. No Democrat wants Collins to win.

Maine does, because they keep sending her back.

Followers of Abrahamic religions all slaughtering each other because their religion is the bestest.

If you support actions that we know will kill innocent people, you are not pro-life.

Period.

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Sahar Delijani said it best:

I was shocked they aired the 60 Minutes segment about Trump/MAGA inciting violence against federal judges.

Oh I know. I was mostly joking.

Tick tock!

If Iran was a threat to our elections, and he removes the Iranian regime, I guess the threat is gone and elections should proceed as normal.

True. But most of them. Their main interest is "owning the libs" by turning the clock back to 1950, and he's doing that for them, so most will be fine with him starting wars.

They hate Muslims, don't forget.

She's ignorant. MAGA will follow Trump always.

Watch.

"Being played" implies we believe it or fall for it.

We don't. Watch your language.

It's almost looking like ramming a giant stick into a hornet's nest wasn't the way.

No state office, no mayoral experience, no run for the House - no, the Senate. Where confirmations happen, and impeachment convictions happen (or don't).

Sorry, I'm not one of the kids you're railing against here, but no, Platner doesn't do it for me. I hope we can do better.

Like, someone who doesn't HAVE a dodgy past of questionable tats and clueless posts about women and Black people? No one's perfect, but geez.

Finally, I balk at the idea that Platner should be elevated all the way up to the U.S. SENATE, given his lack of relevant experience.

I did not come away impressed. Far too much victimhood saying the "Dem establishment" is after him. And my main takeaway from his justifications for the tattoo and the very troublesome old Reddit posts was, can't we find a candidate who doesn't NEED to have "good excuses" for a dodgy past?

I've read your posts re: Platner. I'm not in the "he's a MAGA Nazi!" crowd. I want Collins gone and will support whoever wins the primary.

And unlike the knee-jerk Platner haters, I've listened to him extensively, including his extended interview by PSA, who was very friendly to him.

3 years before a Presidential election, I don't take guidance on who is the "leader of the Democratic party" from The Economist.

Sue me.

Will Iran be returning us the favor? Hey, I'm just asking the question.

There are more since the Iran idiocy. They use one of two scripts:

1. "Both parties are fascist-loving corporatists."

2. Objecting to Trump's bombing of Iran means you are defending the Iranian regime and don't care about the oppressed people there.

Silly and stupid, both.

But... but... but... BothPartiesAreIdentical™ ...

What an amateur "argument". Bye now.

This "you're siding with Iran" is just a cheap attempt at a psychological trick, to try and get people to say, "Oh my! Of course I don't side with Iran! My goodness, I can't have people thinking that - I guess I better root for this war!"

It's juvenile and stupid.

It's typical Thiessen.

Ok Marc, we're not bombing North Korea and I don't hear you advocating for it - are you On The Side Of Kim™ ???

Marc "Torture Boy" Thiessen is the last person anyone should be listening to about-- well, anything. But especially war.

Good luck convicting him in the Senate with this math.

So by that logic we should be bombing North Korea, China, Russia, and other countries.

Whee.

There would have been nothing inappropriate about a caucus leader issuing Ossoff's statement.

No lives will be spared in his mission to hand the House and the Senate to Democrats in November.

1. He's pointing out TRUMP's hypocrisy

2. Even if Iran has a nuclear program of some sort, that doesn't mean they are an imminent threat

"leader" is right. there. in. his. title.
