@michaeljknowles Notice how Knowles never made this argument when Bernie Sanders was running…because he’s the wrong kind of Jew for Knowles and his ilk. He’s not a rabid Zionist Nazi like Shapiro and Fetterman.

The Democrats won’t nominate him specifically because he’s Jewish. The party elites will pretend it’s something else, but the base will make it obvious.

While the centrism of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is popular in his home state, some Democrats want a fighter to be their next presidential nominee on.wsj.com/3QIFTd0
English
@EllieGabalus He would get annihilated if he ran! He’s incredibly unlikable and his rank Zionism would sink him
English
Shapiro is very popular in his home state, but calling him "no-drama" is definitely inaccurate imo. He approaches politics from a deeply ideological lane, and has severe baggage regarding school vouchers, Israel, and Ellen Greenberg. He would lose a national race imo

WSJ: Josh Shapiro Is No-Drama. But Is That What Democrats Want in 2028? While the Pennsylvania governor’s centrism is popular in his home state, some Democrats want a more-aggressive fighter to be their next presidential nominee wsj.com/politics/elect…

@moorehn Sad watching so many liberals minimize actual instances of domestic abuse by lending credence to a clear and transparent political hit job. You guys should really know better by now.
English
has anyone noticed that everyone endorsing Graham Platner is an irredeemable disgusting asshole? Seems like a weird coincidence.
Politics & Poll Tracker 📡@PollTracker2024
RCP: Bill Maher endorses Graham Platner for US Senate in Maine Maher on Platner: “I would still urge the folks in Maine to vote for him, for two reasons.” “One, we need to restore balance in our government, and a Democratic Senate would help a lot with that.” “And two, get used to it, America is a country filled with a lot of broken, horribly educated, phone addicted, sort of nutty people, and as long as we live in a representative democracy, we are always electing our reflection in the mirror.” Link to article: realclearpolitics.com/video/2026/06/…

Elon led the mass defunding of basically every US scientific institution and frequently spouts anti-science and anti-education nonsense
Wonder if that has anything to do with it
Logan Dobson@LoganDobson
The "I f***ing love Science" crowd turning on the man who popularized the electric car in America and out-rocket-launches NASA by orders of magnitude because of politics is a funny twist. Maybe they don't really f***ing love science that much
English
@Anokataxs @Marilichitad Dafuq are you even talking about! There is no figure in American politics presently who would inspire more negative partisanship than AOC would. You thought Pelosi brought out the opposition in droves…you haven’t seen anything yet! GOp will crawl over glass to vote against her
English
@Marilichitad She literally doesn’t need him. She is more popular in Maine than he is. Also rural voters aren’t one state and he has mo influence anywhere else
English
I don’t think he needs an AOC endorsement. I think *she* needs him and his base of rural voters *if she wants to run for prez. But i agree that she’s trapped in 2018 era politics and it’s her Achilles heel if she is to appeal to people outside of big cities.
Mike from PA@Mike_from_PA
My biggest concern about AOC is that she's trapped in 2018-era politics. If you are going to wholeheartedly endorse someone like Kamala Harris, you have to do the same for someone like Graham. He's BETTER than Harris on the issues you claim to care about, he's the nominee.
English
@DanMKervick Why even offer this opinion if you don’t engage in electoralism? Just to troll?
English
The professional left has decided that they are going go with a Milo Yiannopoulis - Jordan Peterson circa 2016 message in 2026. Not only are they dumb, but they are behind-the-times dumb.
Zaid Jilani@ZaidJilani
Ryan Grim says he's glad Platner won because it's forcing progressives to confront bigotry against white men, comparing it to people coming out of the closet to address homophobia. If he had said this while we worked together at The Intercept, HR would've pushed him into lava.
English
@smuglywinning @PetreRaleigh Your own family fucking hates you dude
English
@PetreRaleigh The fact that you refuse to even acknowledge the possibility of legitimate, logically sound reasons for opposing unchecked immigration is why you're movement is currently losing ground.
English
Resentment of this fact - not just hatred of immigrants, but the knowledge that it makes them bad people and that everyone else knows it - is absolutely central to the psychological experience of the modern right-wing subject
noah kulwin@nkulw
hatred of immigrants is a sign of moral weakness. one of the more obvious tells that you're just not a good person.
English
@Chris_H_Politic @ChaseMadar I wish she realized that what her colleagues respect and respond to more than anything is raw fucking power! A power she could harness if she chose to but she is seemingly terrified of pulling the sword from the stone and wielding said power
English
@ChaseMadar I agree. I also think that people forget that Bernie was also not always this way. I think she’s still trying to find the right balance between being a rogue and also needing relationship relationships to past legislation.
English
I much prefer AOC as a risk-taking stalwart and vanguard legislator to her new look as carefully calibrated broker with delusions of national office
InteractivePolls@IAPolls2022
CNN: AOC is ramping up her role as a key Democratic campaigner this fall — with a major tour in the works to test her national appeal ahead of a potential 2028 campaign. She's also been strategic and selective: notably, she has not endorsed Graham Platner in Maine’s Senate race — even as Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have rallied for him — while distancing herself from other controversial or risky associations cnn.com/2026/06/11/pol…
English
@EricMGarcia @kenklippenstein Oh fuck off!! It’s people like you the reason so many sitting Dems literally have died in office just this term because you’d rather protect the status quo than demand proper representation! I bet you wanted Biden to stay in the race after the debate too, huh dipshit?
English
@kenklippenstein She still has the ability to speak. I literally was talking to her the other day, Ken. I have Tourette’s and tremor and shake but can still do my job.
English
How does speaking at 0.5x speed in a quavering voice that’s hard to understand not impede Collins’ ability to do the job? Are you suggesting the job of a politician doesn’t include communicating with the public?
Eric Michael Garcia@EricMGarcia
Susan Collins has essential tremors. It’s not fatal and it doesn’t impede her job. There are plenty of ways to criticize Susan Collins (I give her hell everyday) but this is just ableism.
English
@DrewSav @speechboy71 Came here to say Crockett was the moderate choice against Talarico but c’mon…you should know better that just cause someone is in the progressive caucus — doesn’t mean they actually are progressive.
English
@speechboy71 Cooper had no serious opposition. Becerra, Brown, and Talarico are progs. Becerra was a longtime member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus!
English
1. Moderate Dems are struggling in primaries by offering nothing that engages people
2. Many of these moderate Dems have the charisma of a doorknob.
English
@DrNeilStone @ggreenwald Only in your delusional fever dreams you Zionist fuck!
English
@ggreenwald Did they do anything else?
Like murder 40,000 unarmed protestors?
Of course you know that
It just doesn't fit you propaganda
English
All we did was send our military to the other side of the world, bombed Iran's bridges and elementary schools, then imposed a military blockade to crush their economy and population.
Then, out of nowhere, these deranged monsters shoot one of our peaceful liberatory helicopters.
These people only understand force! They're like from the 8th century.
English
@FKFTSH @LexiAIexander Notice how you are punching down at the individual instead of punching up at the systemic issues that created that individual? This is emblematic of someone with lacking critical thinking skills and a hyper-partisan media diet. As a veteran myself I can relate to him
English
@LexiAIexander Come the fuck on, Lexi. You're defending a man who, by his own admission, signed up for the military specifically because he wanted to murder Iraqis for "adventure". And was still describing it as a "hell of an excellent experience" just six years ago.
English
lol an entire app dedicated to vote-blue-no-matter-who people and this is where they hit their limit
BeshearStan@BeshearStan
Update: Bluesky isn't too happy Platner easily won the nomination
English
@BozoVinny She is simply not the leader you guys think she is! She has no interest in challenging power the way it needs to be!
English
I can kind of understand the Planter drama from her perspective, but she needs to endorse El-Sayed. If she doesn't then we gotta have some conversations.
Sneak Plissken@SnakeThatStings
@Kuomozelion @BozoVinny She's always playing too safe. Not a fan of Platner but she needs to grow a spine and not be worried that people will yell at her
English
@mamashami2 Iran defending Lebanon from how many miles is a classical mentality
English
The US is defending itself on Iran's border — 8,000 miles away from America. Classic colonial mentality.
U.S. Central Command@CENTCOM
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces began launching self-defense strikes against Iran at 5 p.m. ET today at the Commander in Chief’s direction, in response to yesterday’s downing of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter. The mission is a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression.
English
@BottomStructure Damn…she could’ve ridden that all the way to DC and maybe even been his chief of staff but instead she’ll be remembered for being a dipshit loser
English
Genevieve left the Platner campaign because she thought she was on a sinking ship with the news of his reddit comments getting published and her career would be finished if she was attached to it.
Lyndsey Fifield@lyndseyfifield
Last year, I watched a woman sacrifice her career to stand on principle and warn the public about a dangerous man. Genevieve has been relentlessly attacked—but she kept her honor and her soul. She has inspired me to stay strong through this storm. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…
English
@HenryPorters See…it’s stuff like this that makes you guys seem like insufferable pricks to everyone! Why can’t you just admit y’all have an agenda and are ideologically opposed to leftists? At least then you’d be having an honest conversation…
English
Leftists are really into party building all of a sudden.
ed@ed_dems
pretty insane for a sitting congressmen to admit that they’d rather Becerra run against a republican over a democrat which could boost republican turnout in November this is disqualifying and should enrage every democrat in the state
English
@MichaelShurkin Dude…fuck off already!! If you’re still a Zionist then You’re a scumbag!! Be gone nazi scum!
English
I've been a Democrat my entire life. My party is trying very hard to make me a Republican. Here's a Platner apologist arguing that an Israeli flag tattoo is more offensive than an SS tattoo.
Caroline McCaughey@TheCarolineMc
At a Graham Platner rally in Portland. “Would an Israeli flag tattoo be a deal breaker?” “Honestly yeah, because I don’t support genocide.”
English
This doesn’t seem like a lot of money as these things go, right? Don’t get why he would announce this. It’s like an Austin Powers number.
InteractivePolls@IAPolls2022
CNN: Platner’s campaign just announced raising over $200,000 in a single day following the New York Times article — their best fundraising day since Janet Mills dropped out of the Maine Senate race
English
@ArmandDoma Wow…you’re falling for this nonsense as well? You’re willing to give weight to a literal conservative political operative? Heed my words…if you manage to destroy Platner; you will lose millions of potential supporters going forward! I will be done with this garbage party!
English
i don't really understand the sort of leftist who believes that any social moderation for swing district candidates on policy issues is evil fascism but saying and doing misogynist things makes you a true working class hero
Matt Stoller@matthewstoller
Graham Platner represents a rejection of Dem HR lady politics
English
@internetguy63 @QueenMab87 Because it’s seen as a way to poison him amongst the liberal voting base…which is what this whole smear campaign is about. They know republicans won’t give a damn about this or they would’ve dumped this in October. This is the liberal establishment maintaining the status quo
English
@QueenMab87 I don't understand why people keep trying to graft fetterman onto him. Fetterman had a stroke and the only thing they had in common is they ran as progressive populists.
English
We’ve all been fucked by Fetterman so I don’t really buy the argument that you shouldn’t have an opinion if you don’t live in Maine
English
