It's nice to know I'm not the only one worried about Graham Platner's far-right stance on guns. If it's a choice between him or Collins, then I guess I'm going to have to take an antacid beforehand and vote for him. But as this pediatrician asks, where's his progressivism and moral clarity on one of the biggest issues facing the US? His passion for guns is terrifying. #Politics #Democrats #Democracy #Maine #Senate #Platner #US #USpol #Health https://www.pressherald.com/2026/05/17/we-need-more-clarity-from-graham-platner-on-gun-safety-opinion/
We need more clarity from Graham Platner on gun safety | Opinion

Voters need to know whether he is willing to move beyond careful generalities on the issue.

As a lifelong member of the Democratic party. The ONLY party that has expanded healthcare, childcare, reproductive rights, civil rights, increased taxes on the rich, and done a damn thing to help the non wealthy, if you don't like the party, kindly go F yourself.

That goes double for the useless ass Bernie bros who do nothing but attack the only non fascist party in America while doing nothing themselves. Lead, follow, or GTFO the way.

Poll shows Lula and Bolsonaro tied before Brazil’s presidential election. Remember when people were blaming Merrick Garland for Trump's second term, and said if we had universal healthcare, right wingers wouldn't exist?

Look at Brazil, they imprisoned Bolsonaro, so his son is running, guess that didn't work. They have universal healthcare and their president has improved their social safety net, doesn't matter.

Right-wing challenger Flavio Bolsonaro faces new scrutiny over a film funding scandal, which could affect the race.

Another one of Kamala's critics is out here lying for Mamdani. The truth is he scaled back an agreement that would have hired more teachers and cut class sizes.

He should have cut the 5.7 billion dollar bloated police budget. How do we know the NYPD budget is bloated, because they have all the time in the world to make wrongful arrests and assault innocent people, including Mamdani's buddy Chi Osse.

Mamdani closes budget gap, invests $122 million in public schools! 

You can debate ideology all day long. But if critics think there’s a better way to make life more affordable, strengthen public services, and deliver measurable results, spare us all the constant c…

He says in this interview that anyone who works is a member of the working class. Really? Even though he was against the war in Iraq, he joined the Marines because he always wanted to be a soldier and thought it would be cool. And he says he's a military nerd (who didn't know the nature of the tattoo on his chest). I want to like him, but he's making this awfully difficult. #Politics #Democrats #Democracy #Maine #Senate #Platner #US #USpol https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/16/magazine/graham-platner-interview.html?unlocked_article_code=1.i1A.vCHo.uinGAOhPcPeK&smid=url-share
Graham Platner Thinks a Political Revolution Is Coming

The presumptive Democratic Senate nominee from Maine enters the general election fray. 

The New York Times

Now the corporate media is promoting this guy and the leftists want us to believe that a guy dumb enough to walk around with a Nazi tattoo for 20 years, without knowing it was a Nazi tattoo, is the answer. Call me cynical but that's a no from me.

Graham Platner Thinks a Political Revolution Is Coming

The presumptive Democratic Senate nominee from Maine enters the general election fray. 

The New York Times

If the Democrats win back the presidency, the president should sue the IRS for 20 quadrillion dollars, settle out of court for 10 quadrillion dollars and fund universal healthcare and the social safety net for the next 1000 years.

This person tried to accuse me of being a bot because I pointed out that Trump was blackmailing the governor, something that would have never happened if the leftists didn't sell the American people on their both sides are the same BS. The irony of that username calling me a bot.

The leftists showing their true colors. This privileged leftist admits he doesn't care about black people losing their voting rights in the south. He can barely contain his excitement at the conservative courts ruling. Bernie has done a number on these clowns.

These people think I'm soliciting their help, but I'm just here to expose them and their movement for the frauds that they are.

I want you to compare this brother to those both sides are the same privileged leftists, many of whom happen to be white and/or privileged. Contrast that to what someone with some skin in the game is actually telling you.

MAGA is the last breath of the Confederacy, no matter what Bernie and his cult claim. Economic anxiety my ass!!!
