it's a shame that this totenkopf tattoo scandal hasn't led to platner immediately flatlining in the polls and suspending his campaign, but these campaign maneuvers and him and his allies rather horrendous crisis comms suggests to me that he'll get at best a meek 2nd place in the maine dem primary

so close to perfect, but lacking the proper amount of chest hair

he's still the same type of right wing populist he's presented himself as since 2015, just that now he's been able to consolidate the entire GOP apparatus into a personalistic regime. Populism is mostly about blaming a 5th column for the ills of a country which is an apt description of trumps appeal

not enough people took the trump=caudillo warnings from 2016 and here we are....

it was an annoying, tortuous road but also kinda what i expected from ugliness that is intra-ny dem politics. think taking this path was fairly easy for hakeem as well since zohrans been the prohibitive favorite for a while so his faction of ny dems can extract a pound of flesh before endorsing late

Dont care about the building, but rather the fact this asshole can do this pretty much unannounced and nearly half the country thinks it's great because *he's* the one that's doing it, and we should raise a fuss since a lot of normies who would otherwise find this gross dont realize it's going on

the people of maine appear to like her enough to vote her in as gov, and we need a plurality of the dipshits that vote in that state to pick that lame fuck instead of the horrendous piece of shit Susan collins, who the dumbasses in that state also appear to love

the multi year primary plus campaign cycle sucks for myriad reasons, but one of the few positives that comes out of it is that it gives a lot of time for scandalous stuff about the candidate to come out, allowing us to see how they and their operation function under stressful/difficult circumstances

he's legitimately disgusted by the democratic party, which leads to an "enemy of my enemy is my friend" re: anti-"establishment" folks who run in dem primaries

it may be silly on my end but it's why I was always annoyed at him registering back to independent after both the 2016 and 2020 primaries

think it's less of a paper thin bench thing than this being a state that elects folks like jared golden, susan collins, janet mills, paul lepage, and angus king

eh, if we extend the analogy to fans of specific teams, after losses their tend to be constant breakdowns of who among management, coaches, and/or players that led to a loss in much the same way that occurs after an electoral loss

Whether its intentional or not making Americans less safe and less prepared is part of the "you voted for this" package you also got when you decided "MASS DEPORTATION NOW" was sexy.

if anyone wonders why "touch the stove"ism is popular, this is a good illustration of why

showcasing it at place close to and roughly equidistant from the two egg bowl participants feels spiritually correct

I'm curious who, outside from shitbag centrist/right-leaning media editors like those that run wapo, his shit even appeals to? like his arguments arent even interesting intellectual exercises, just tired apologetics of the gop + trump, and maximalist bad faith against liberal+democratic institutions

ie68.bsky.social @ie68.bsky.social · Sep 22

both right wing christians and observant muslims are sadly fertile grounds for anti-semitism, so dunno how much he really has to pivot off of the muslim convert bit
