The winters were mild down here before there was ever such thing as a Republican.

And now thanks to republicans, they're milder. And summers are hotter. And your droughts are worse. And your 100 year storms arrive every few years. And your food is more toxic. And your air is more polluted. And the rich have all the power and money while the working class suffers.

" As for me, well . . . there's a reason you haven't heard me say more than a word or two about Mace since 2024: because she falls into that rare class of politicians whose mental well-being I am genuinely concerned for. It felt shameful to draw attention to her or indulge her in her unhealthy fantasias. It felt almost cruel: like the paparazzi swarming around Britney Spears back during that era when she shaved her head. Now that Mace has lost and is out of Congress in January, I sincerely hope she will go and spend an extended amount of time quietly seeking the help she needs, as opposed to the attention she desires"

If she'd won the primary you'd be posting that she's wonderful.
You're only allowed to be honest about her now that she's gone.

Finally if it wasn't an issue, or no big deal, why remove it? Who cares what Republicans think.

If someone pointed out that one of your tattoos had been used as a nazi symbol, would you remove it?

-Yes. The explanation of "I was young and dumb and trying to look tough and i thought it was a cool looking skull without knowing it's history" is a totally understandable explanation.

To liberals of all stripes? we'll see.

To Mainers.

Mainers are crotchety salt of the earth people who see through BS.

The only mainer I know loves platner.

"easily explained tattoo"

is that what it is? Doesn't seem like that at the moment.

Yes. The explanation of "I was young and dumb and trying to look tough and i thought it was a cool looking skull without knowing it's history" is a totally understandable explanation.

But the oligarch media will spend the next 4 months ignoring this explanation and pretending he's a secret nazi, without bothering to address why he wouldnt run as a republican if he actually supports nazi ideology.

-Democrats who aren't on the side of the people lose elections.

Democrats who have no money lose elections as well.

Democrats who are angry enough at oligarchs get donations from the working class.

And money isn't the key to winning anymore.

-So running a corporate DNC candidate to beat him isn't an attempt to take him down?

while ignoring the tatoo thing? No, it's not an attempt to take him down.

#121 | Posted by eberly

So unless Mills focused her whole campaign on an easily explained tattoo then it wasn't a takedown attempt?

Keep stretching.

-The most important quality for a candidate to have right now is genuine anger at the oligarchs. Everything else is secondary.

I don't know what happened to people like this. How they got this way. Hereditary, environment, traumatic event, etc. just don't know.

but it's pretty damn ------ up to be afflicted with a disease that renders you like this. Where you live by these 2 rules......

1. Everyone is like me
2. or they should be like me

Zero acceptance or tolerance for what other people value or believe in.

I'm so grateful I was raised (or I learned....) how to tolerate others and their beliefs. To accept what they hold near and dear even if it's not what I hold near and dear.

Boaz is exactly the same but just on the other extreme side of the fence. You can't talk to people like that. They insist on the echo chamber

"Waahhh why are you so mean to the oligarchs! What's wrong with you?"

Did the DNC leak the tatoo story? Because you know they knew........so if they didn't, then no...they didn't try to take him down

It's how the world works, little fella. You'd think after this much time here reading my posts, you'd learn this.

#115 | Posted by eberly

How the world works is the democrats bleeding support from the working class as theyve spent decades selling out to corporate influence.

-Yeah if "qualified" means sucking up to oligarchs and taking their bribe money.

No....it means they have a resume that qualifies him for a job like this.

It's not necessarily evil to work with wealthy donors. Many good democrats do this. Democrats who win elections, BTW.

Democrats who lose elections can't help you, Speak.

How so?

#109 | Posted by eberly

By dragging Mills out of the grave to run against him.

Any thinking democrat would admit that even if you remove the tatoo issue entirely.......he still seems wholly unqualified.

#106 | Posted by eberly

GWB was sober 14 years when he ran for president....didn't stop folks from "living in the past" so expect to see the Nazi references continue.

#101 | Posted by eberly

Because those of us with brains could still tell he wasn't a man who should be trusted with the presidency.

Maybe the rest of you should listen to those of us who are proven correct over and over.

I'm not going to harass Platner at this point based on what I've seen. I'm just shocked this is who the DNC wants.....college drop out, Nazi attachment, sketchy personal life details.....

#101 | Posted by eberly

This ISNT who the DNC wants. The DNC tried to take him down. They hate populists because they suck up to corporation and oligarchs.

The oligarchs are terrified of candidates like this gaining traction because it is the only thing that can reduce their power, so they will do everything they can to destroy him by november.
