It really is sad though that 99% of politicians here have completely sold us out. We’re on our own. Nobody is coming to save us
The level of political rot in this country is at comical levels, as we can see from this race.
There is NOTHING Stevens is better on than Abdul. NOTHING. I cannot believe this horseshit
You are asking Democratic voters to overlook a credible rape allegation, we are not Republicans. It’s not going to happen, Platner is not going to win after this.
I don’t know how the Maine DSC works, but it’s not a given they’ll shit out Mills depending how they work. In my state, delegates from each caucus would vote for it, and our delegates this year were HEAVILY left-leaning (a midwestern state).
Platner just isn’t going to win after this unless it’s roundly debunked. Would I still vote for him over Collins in November if I lived in Maine? Probably, but I wouldn’t be pumped about it at all anymore.
Best case scenario is he drops out and the Maine DSC nominates a new candidate who isn’t Mills.
Well this seems a lot more believable than everything in the NYT story. I was all in on Platner and still have some skepticism of this just due to the sheer amount of political ratfuckery in this country, but yeah this probably could end his campaign unless some other evidence against it comes out fast.
The timing of this, seeing some random people on Threads/Twitter say another accusation against him is coming a few hours ago, articles about how to replace a candidate in Maine ready to go right away etc., is definitely really suspicious too. This whole thing fucking sucks dude.
What are you talking about, shut up dude. Yeah, the Americas were colonized and shouldn’t have. What does that have to do with fucking anything about this
It’s completely insane. I know that prison terms are decided by the judges (within the windows of their charges), but I cannot for the life of me believe that 8 or however many ‘impartial’ jurors decided that terrorism charges for 50, 70, and 100 years were OK. There’s just no fucking way.
A murder charge gets you at max 99 years in Texas. The guy who shot the officer didn’t even kill him. There’s evidence that was withheld from the court that the officer drew first.
I cannot believe so many people in this country and around the world are OK with outright tyranny. I might as well be a separate species than them
It just sickens me how many evil people are in leadership positions around the world. Why does humanity keep rewarding and propping these people up
They just arrested 15+ legal observers in the Twin Cities this morning, too.
Or the Chinese models (not sure if they’re the same thing). DeepSeek/China dropped their prices by 75% just to hemorrhage the US market
I wonder how many horror stories we’re going to learn about in 10 years of the women, especially the children and babies, who weren’t ’deported’ but sold directly into sex trafficking rings.
I would also not be surprised at all if a couple of ICE agents have someone they personally took home and locked in their basement
In a way it kind of is, I’d rather someone be an open and honest fascist than a closet fascist/fascist collaborator. Easy to read intentions and I know to expect absolutely nothing from you but pain.
