Wrote this to find out for myself if the common wisdom in the UK and beyond, that Liverpool in the 80’s was run by Trotskyist maniacs, was true. Not only is it not, the propagation of that myth has a lot to do with the state of the UK government today.

Idk why ppl think Platner being a vet is some kind of anomaly on the left. Smedley Butler was a “gangster for capitalism” then turned against it. There’s a prominent member of PSL and ANSWER who’s admitted to having tortured Iraqis. Frankly that’s worse than being a Merc.

@markaprovost ….no????

Agree with the idea that labor should run Independents in red states but to help them there should also be candidates running as Dem caricatures who call for a 200% across the board tax increase and a law requiring white men to begin every sentence with an apology.

[Jacobin @jacobin]

The Democrats’ brand is in the toilet with working-class voters across broad swaths of the United States.

In these areas, labor and its supporters are better off running independent candidates, a new book argues. https://t.co/oyjo3dHyZp

Learning even more about how I am a sexual minority--under 50 year old man with no kinks who has never sent a nude.

[Anders J Lee @andersleehere]

@SrirachaVodka Does liking sex count as a kink?

[Anders J Lee @andersleehere]

This just made me imagine, for a moment, John McCain and Susan Collins having sex and it sounded like the noises an 8 year old boy would make playing with his sister's Barbie and Ken dolls

Far as I'm concerned Graham Platner could bleach his teeth, smile flash, talk trash under my window, park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me and I'd still support him.

Young Republican getting hired by a fascist electoral campaign to make posts that are like “this Saturday come on out to the Ku Klux Klanvass!”

@SeitterSimora Sexting others when you're in a monogamous relationship is bad, yes. But bringing up the other stuff shows you're gullible enough to fall for GOP talking points and haven't been following this race at all.

[Anders J Lee @andersleehere]

Fwiw I think Platner fucked up by not getting ahead of this. Had he done an interview before Saturday acknowledging that he had caused problems in his marriage early on, but that they'd gone to counseling and put it behind them, good chance ppl would have shrugged it off.

Voter reaction I'm hearing so far in Maine feels different than Reddit/tattoo. Supporters were quick to brush those off, but this is raising doubts about whether he really is reformed, even among people who still plan to vote for him. "I feel sickened that I have vote for him."

[Anders J Lee @andersleehere]

@SeitterSimora I mean that's objectively false. He's explained the stupid tattoo scandal to death which is why Maine dems stopped caring about it.

"this guy Gideon"

[Acyn @Acyn]

Kellyanne: Susan Collins votes with Donald Trump 95% of time. She saved Brett Kavanaugh. She voted for the one big beautiful bill. All the pollsters in 2020 had this guy Gideon beating her.

[Anders J Lee @andersleehere]

@DrRyanPhd If there is some really bad shit out there waiting to drop, then sure. But so far, none of this is disqualifying to me. Sexting other ppl when you're in a monogamous relationship is unethical but has nothing to do with being a Senator. The other scandals are nothingburgers imho.

[Anders J Lee @andersleehere]

@MikeDrewWhat If you read the Tweet I'm quoting, they're not, at least relative to the other Platner revelations.

[Anders J Lee @andersleehere]

@moor80374 If you're still hung up on that story you're an absolute rube. He was a Marine and it was a skull and crossbones tattoo. Without other Nazi shit around it, it looks like any other skull and crossbones.
