@plathiandc No because I still chose @grahamformaine you backstabbing cunts
English
before you post a hot take about the maine senate primary, have you donated to fund their convention?
the eventual nominee will be starting from square one with a very short time to launch a general election campaign. the party needs every bit of help to defeat susan collins.
English
@mattyglesias It should also be noted that an enormous percentage of American Jews live in or near NYC. Much harder to make Mamdani a boogeyman.
He’s earned a grudging respect from even more centrist New Yorkers bc his admin has been competent on the basics (snow removal/disorder/etc.)
English
Mamdani's net favorables with American Jews are low for a Dem (Jews were Harris + 26 IIRC), but still positive because Mamdani is a Democrat as are the vast majority of American Jews.
Similarly, American Jews don't like Netanyahu because he is very right-wing and they are not.

@peterswindal Like 75% percent of lay Catholics in the same geographical area probably agree with some version of this. That doesn’t matter at all, but I’m just saying this doesn’t come out of nowhere.

If you go to discernment events with the East Province of the Jesuits, they will bring men in formation to give a talk, and they will openly admit that they disagree with the Church's teaching on sexuality and want it to change. This happened as recently as December of last year.

The five Jesuit provincials in Canada and the United States announced the reduction of the number of novitiates in the two nations from five to two. One will be based in Culver City, California; the other, in Detroit, Michigan. detroitcatholic.com/news/society-o…

@MassJumbo @mainepilled Idk id argue the midcoast is prettier than the whites
English
@mainepilled yep lol. looking at a topographic map of maine you can see its a lot flatter overall. I do love Maine but like i cant lie and say i dont find the area of the whites in NH from franconia to the presidential range the prettiest part of new england
English
Gonna be real here most of Maine does not look like this. New Hampshire and Vermont are both a lot “aesthetic” overall
Rowan Fornow 🚵🚉🏙️🦣🇵🇸@rowanfornow
I feel a desire to become a weeb for Maine rising within me

@mainepilled Honestly not convinced this is a bad thing (in general — this particular example is pretty egregious)

This is what every building in Portland post-2010 looks like

@BG_Elections Hilarious that she calls it the Democratic Party but the Democrat Socialists of America
English
The only Republican I’ve seen who uses the correct terminology instead of “Democrat Party”
Senator Katie Boyd Britt@SenKatieBritt
The Democratic Party has been taken over by the radical far Left. After spending the day at Fort Rucker in Alabama, there is no doubt that America is the greatest nation in the world protected and defended by our brave service men and women. Our country deserves leaders who are proud to support our nation and uphold our values.

@AnthonyMEmerson This is in Bangor I think which makes it way more likely
English
Yeah MSNOW found the one Republican who lives in Portland and he called himself an "independent" to avoid suspicion
Nikolaj🇺🇦🇵🇸@nikicaga
"These people are not progressive enough so I will vote for Susan Collins" ????????????????????????????????
English
@ferald_gord I thought the same thing when I first saw this. Like we’re giving to frontline Dems basically in order of how expensive their races are going to be. Shocking
English
honestly impressed by how pragmatic actblue donors are being here.

🚨 Abdul El-Sayed moves to #2 on actblue fundraising, above Ossoff

@Trummors Everyone knows New York is a city state. C’mon dude
English
@mattyglesias @benryanwriter So is the answer you’re only allowed to have the debate if you’re a Dem in a red state?
English
Looking back on Seth Moulton’s November 2024 assertion that “as a Democrat, you’re not even allowed to have that debate” about trans inclusion in girls’ sports, debunking podcaster Michael Hobbes retorts: “are you fucking kidding me.”
After Moulton said that, he was subjected to such intense blowback from the left that he has totally recanted his remarks and done a complete 180. Getting the message, almost no Democrats in Congress said a word about the Supreme Court decision on this question.
Hobbes, however, seems to be aware of some environment in national politics in which other Democrats are freely debating this subject.

You have never been on a Metro train as crowded as Nats Park during a Nats-Yanks game rain delay 👀

@Ahab4Eva She is from Maine… you’re not.
And stop being an antisemitic, conspiratorial freak.
It’s not hard to be antizionist without being antisemitic but that’s not what you’re doing.
English
This is a literal whore for Zionism. She's not from Maine, she's from Florida where she was an "experienced fundraiser."
Her only job right now is replace Platner with someone more pliable to the Jewish donors.

Update from the Maine Democratic Party on the US Senate Nomination Process
English
@CTprogressive_ You’re not. She’s very much from Maine. She’s just worked in Florida for the last few years.
English
My first reaction to seeing this woman was “is she even from Maine? She looks like she’s from Florida…”
Turns out I was right!

@standwithgraham What would you like the Maine state Democratic Party to do about corruption from the Trump administration?
English
I’ve seen more fight in the last 4 days from the Democrat party to eliminate Graham Platner than I have seen from them to try and stop the corruption happening on a daily basis by this administration over the last year and half.
English
@AlDefinitely The Ben Sasse apology tour would be a miracle
English
@standwithgraham It’s very clear now that Graham was lying that he didn’t know what it was. I don’t think he’s a Nazi but he’s very obviously a liar. He knew what it meant years ago
English
This is the most absurd take. You think the people of Maine overlooked a tattoo of a symbol associated with Nazi party (which he got in the military along with other US soldiers not knowing its origins) because every Dem in Maine hates Jews?
Jonathan Reiner@JReinerMD
Would Graham Platner have gotten this far if he had a tattoo of a Klan hood on his chest? I don’t think so. Democrats need to look in the mirror and ask why some symbols of hate are ok.
English
@PollTracker2024 Bellows is most electable imo. Geiger is least
English
Who is the most electable candidate on this roster and who’s the least?
Political Polls@PpollingNumbers
Meet the democratic candidates running to get the democratic nomination in the Maine Senate race
English
@katewillett What would you like the party to do, Kate? They have two weeks and never imagined this was something they’d have to spend money on.
English
So party hacks are going to select a corporate stooge with zero input from voters and lose to Susan Collins
David Dayen@ddayen
MDP releases the official statement.
English
@ettingermentum I don’t think anyone is worried about this race being cash starved if there’s a good candidate. The last person to run against Susan is still sitting on 2 million dollars that she litterally couldn’t spend.
English
The issue there isn’t that it actually means anything about her as a politician now but that it being the first thing people outside Maine hear about the race will cause dumb donors to write the race off.
James🗳@_fat_ugly_rat_
If you discredit Shenna Bellows as a candidate based on the 2014 senate race you are completely unserious
