Not so weird, it’s pointing out that the fascist regime and their russian allies are absolutely willing to cook and stoke rape allegations as part of their disinformation campaigns.

There’s not another option. Platner is incredibly popular - outfundraising the sitting democrat governor! - and vocally supports some progressive causes.

Susan Collins has consistantly voted with our fascist regime while pretending she’s a moderate. She needs to go.

The effort and money the regime is focusing against Platner shows how much of a threat they see him as. He does need to win, and opponents of our fascist regime shouldn’t be listening to the regime’s attempts to defeat him.

The woman who started Ladies for Kavanaugh specifically to descredit Christine Blasey Ford’s rape allegations is going out of her way to say that he knew what the tattoo meant - so he almost certainly did not.

THERE IS ANOTHER ELECTION BEFORE THAT.

It’s two years away. It’s not even the next election! And this is all presuming that there even is another election, which is far from given.

There is absolutely nothing you can say about a hypothetic 2028 election in 2026.

Very early on i heard some commentary that putin was demanding his client state spend down large amounts of it’s stockpile. And look what we have here.

That’s a deceptive number - it’s ⅔ vs ⅓.

“A third of genocide advocates are dems” paints a much more realistic picture of democratic responsibility for genocide.

“90% more genocide from republicans” makes it sound very one-sided. When in fact elite support for genocide is strongly bipartisan, it just skews R.

TIL Navel Gazing is a term that means “prove the left was correct all along”.

Dems deserve their fair share of the blame for enabling the ongoing authoritarian coup and deliberately undermining people trying to fight against it.

The fascist elites who seized control of the nation need the republicans to carry out their will and they need the dems to sabotage the people’s attempts to fight back.

Janet Mills suspended her campaign for Senate on Thursday, as her progressive challenger, oyster farmer Graham Platner, continued to lead in the polls and in fundraising.

It’s a shocking fall off for the incumbent governor

Lol brutal! The current governor and dnc prefered candidate dying in the polls and fundraising (!) to a progressive oyster farmer.

The democratic party is such a stalwart architect of their own failures. I just wish they werent taking the nation down with them.

Good. Impeachment is pointless and accomplishes nothing. Plus trump is a cenile stooge inches from death.

Jailing regime goons for their many open crimes should be the priority.

The rich talking about democracy is like a catholic bishop talking about god - they know it’s not real, it just helps them distract people from all the child rape.

30% of the adult population voted for trump in 2024.

If we lived in a democracy, that would be a generational level defeat that may spell the end of the party, not deliver full control of both houses and the executive.

It’s just a bit rich blaming voters in an oligarchy with no real representative mechanisms.

once saw her as Bernie Sanders 2.0 but now think she’s more pragmatist than revolutionary

What hot fucking nonsense is this? No shade on bernie but no one left of john mccane thinks sanders is a revolutionary. He’s a pragmatic leftist who joined the dems for pragmatic reasons.

Slightly but significantly less bad. For now.

He is not a republican asset, he’s just a member of the ruling class. He’s representing his class interest, not ours.

I think there’s a chance this was the plan all along and the ‘ceasefire’ was just a PR ploy to avoid having to admit the tuesday 8pm deadline was just a bad bluff that everyone saw through.

Of course it’s entirely possible that the us regime did desperately want the ceasefire to work and was just too stupid to realize that israel won’t stop until they’ve created a crippling humanitarian crisis in iran.

Any such article is a lie, those assholes knew exactly what they were doing. Most of the fascist majority on the court are active participants in the coup that brought this regime to power, the rest are sympathizers.

We definitely didn’t, the rich did.

Our system was never designed to represent the wishes of the people. And it doesn’t.

The apathy of many us citizens to the idea that their government could possibly matter to them is a direct result of a massive legal, and influence campaign by far right elites, their representatives in government and their allies overseas. A functional state is supposed to have institutions to combat that.

The effectiveness of the current far right coup is a failure of our institutions, and the low participation of many in the US is a symptom of that failure, not a cause.
