@mikehtrujillo It's Maine dude, plenty of residents sharpen axes and play with guns. Get a clue. All you've demonstrated is that you're a clueless California Democrat who thinks the entire country needs to live exactly the same as you, playing right into Rep. narratives.
@48sOffice Yeah, after watching firsthand what happened with Biden and voters' age concerns, the total smart move for Schumer was to decide to force a woman who would be the Oldest Freshman Senator Ever to run. Talk about learning ZERO from what had happened just a year earlier.
@48sOffice@truekino69420 She would he the Oldest Freshman Senator Ever and there is like a 30% chance she dies before her 6 year term ends. That is not normal, try again.
@ConundrumKat@ChrisMartzWX Sure, we'll do that right after those same seniors fully reimburse their local government for the free school educations they got from the government when their own kids were growing up, plus compounded interest. Deal?
@carolannleif@JWing747 So far, nope. But if you think it's so easy, sounds like you should go find one. Dem leaders only had 5 years to do it and failed, but I'm sure you can find someone this weekend.
@JonathanCohn No, unless you're actually also proposing a real solution and the name of another actual Dem candidate that can defeat Collins, then criticizing Platner is truly just helping support Collins. Take responsibility for the repercussions of your behavior.
@queerBengali What magical mythical candidate do you think would suddenly run now and be able to win that did not already come forward in the last year? Name some actual names, because hope is not a plan.
@Abc25836325@burgessev And who is running instead in this fantasy scenario of yours? Why are you leaving that part out? And what reason do you have to believe they will beat Collins? Hope isnt a plan.
@speechboy71 Geniunely curious -- if you remove all the current politicians who have lied at some point from federal office, how many do you think are left?
@mikehtrujillo "Yes sheβs a former GOP operative [but] Partisanship isnβt the reason she is finally coming forward"
Hahaaaaaa..... is that a joke? You just lost all credibility, at least acknowledge the obvious
@48sOffice@okayheyjay@VivaRevolt This could have been avoided if the Democrat establishment had actually learned something from Biden 2024 and not decided the best person to run was a woman who would become the Oldest Freshman Senator Ever. Enough with the octogenarians already.
@dsfence64@nightwing01@electionsjoe Maybe blame Schumer and the Dems that didnt learn anything from the Biden fiasco and decided they wanted to try a foolish sequel with a "now let's try to elect the Oldest Freshman Senator Ever!" strategy -- and to a longer 6 year term to boot. Talk about failing to read the room.
@dsfence64@electionsjoe Yeah, and despite your personal opinion he was still forced out. So why did you think trying to get the Oldest Freshman Senator Ever elected a year later would be received significantly differently? Do you just not learn from past events?
@dsfence64@electionsjoe And what did you tell the other Democrats who decided after seeing the "Biden is too old" stuff implode right before their eyes in 2024, they needed to convince Mills (who would be the oldest freshman Senator in history if she was elected) to run? Were you cheering on that idea?
@Rightsof_Man@Knive_45@electionsjoe What were moderate Democrats thinking when, after seeing the "Biden is too old" stuff unfold right before their eyes in 2024, they decided one year later that they wanted to run Mills... who would be the oldest freshman Senator in history if she was elected? Whose fault is that?
