Whether she should run for President is a personal decision but she absolutely should NOT view the senate as some kind of stepping stone. She doesn’t need the senate to increase her profile and senators make bad candidates for POTUS.

You seem to want to have an argument here, all I want to do is make sure false information doesn’t spread. People can make up their own minds.

I’m not playing dumb? All I said was that he wasn’t a Guard at Abu Ghraib. You noted the correction. That should have been it.

I’m he’s an old friend of mine and I don’t like seeing false rumors about him. You don’t have to vote for him, just be accurate. That’s all.

Also… Marathon???

It would be great if these guys learned anything about classical era history other than Thermopylae.

lol this is like going to a Metallica show and asking them to not be so loud.

I think he’s saying that people who post on Bluesky about their relative poverty are often exaggerating it. Which is probably right. This is true even if the economy feels unsustainable and even if there is too much poverty.

I don’t think it’s irrelevant to be factual about him considering all the unfounded rumors.
February 16, 2026 at 3:08 PM
You’re entitled to your views. I just like to correct the misinformation where I can. Really just about that.

He wasn’t an ex guard at Abu Ghraib, just need to correct the record on that. His infantry company operated out of the facility for a time (it wasn’t just a prison) two years after the abuses happened.

So what’s going to happen with a woman candidate who is to the left of Harris and Clinton? I think we already know. It’s pretty depressing tbh!

And I hate that I’m going to be forced to factor this in, but I will. Trump ran three times. He twice beat moderate women that the public perceived as far left of where they are. He lost to a doddering old man who was perceived as more moderate than he actually was. None of this is coincidental.

The RW media does its most effective work against female candidates. The ideas would favor us, but they would ensure the election wasn’t decided over ideas, and that terrifies me.

They’ll do this to other candidates as well! But it wouldn’t be as effective against Chris Murphy.

Changed from what? He’s always been a progressive. I’m not conceding the point that he’s ever had problematic ideology. The tattoo was not and never was an expression of ideology. And I know this because I’ve known the guy personally.
February 16, 2026 at 4:20 AM
He is known as someone who will run through a wall to help his community. That’s who he is. And I’m not going to stop defending him because people who don’t know him want to caricature him

But by the tattoo rubric, I’m supposed to believe that Graham is a Nazi, and the tattooless guy isn’t because he doesn’t have that tat? Come on.

If there were anything to support the “Nazi” stuff as having any bearing you’d have seen tons of it coming out. There’s not.
February 16, 2026 at 4:17 AM
And this morning I log onto this app and I’m being told that actually the first guy is the fascist because a piece of flash ink he got with his unit in Croatia was used by the SS? I’m sorry, but absolutely nobody that knows Graham thinks he is ideologically problematic. It’s just farcical.

Like, I’m not kidding:

One guy—a dedicated Bernie supporter who agreed with me on everything except guns (he’s pro 2A, I’m not).

The other guy, actual fascist. Helped write project 2025! Thinks Stephen Miller is soft on immigrants!

The same Nazi you think should be running for local office first
February 16, 2026 at 3:58 AM
Well the thing is I know he isn’t a Nazi and his tattoo story checks out based on my years of knowing him. I’m more interested in the claim he has voted for Collins because it’s new to me.
February 16, 2026 at 3:54 AM
No
February 16, 2026 at 3:53 AM
I would like to see the sourcing on this. I haven’t turned up anything and my personal interactions with him have always shown him to be proudly progressive.
