If someone asked me to name a public figure who hasn't been accused of rape but is definitely a rapist, you'd be my choice.

Skipping cutscenes on a first playthrough is crazy to me. Don't know how people do it.

Nobody can convince me that Tracey isn't a rapist himself.

You deleted the comment but feel free to explain how I got Trump elected.

I live in Maine. We have ranked choice voting. I had Kamala ranked before Trump. But even if I did support a 3rd party, it is STILL Harris' fault for failing to oppose genocide, not supporting medicare for all, and cozying up to the right while showing only hostility to the left.

Jared Besemer @jaredbesemer.bsky.social · 08/08/2026
Nope. Just a person who believes it is the politician's job to earn a vote, and if that politician loses an election because they failed to condemn genocide they should never show their face in public again.

Biden? Harris?

I can only hope the people in news media who not only shirked their duty to hold this administration accountable, but actually worked to normalize them, are themselves held accountable. Bezos made me is not an excuse.

Party insiders picking the candidate instead of voters. That said there really isn't time for much else.

She consistently chooses business interests over labor. I don't care what you call it.

I'm really not trying to be a dick but Mills is one of the least popular governors in the country and things are objectively worse in Maine than they were before she took office. Much of that is not her fault but it is not a record she can run with and win.

Jared Besemer @jaredbesemer.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
Ok not all of them. My cat has done nothing to stand up to Trump. He is extremely useless. Still more likely to win than Mills.

Jared Besemer @jaredbesemer.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
All of them in one way or another but if you don't know Bellows literally tried to have Trump removed from the ballot over the Jan 6 insurrection it is time for you to opt out of this conversation.

The "nazi" was the only one arguing against genocide.

Then maybe learn about the actual options instead of running your mouth.

Jared Besemer @jaredbesemer.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
The lady in your profile picture armed and supported genocide. Let's not get too self righteous. Mills is not economically left.

You argue wrongly.

Maybe those people should just listen rather than offering their opinion then. People from outside of Maine don't vote for our senator. We are familiar with them because they were all just candidates for governor or congress.

Jared Besemer @jaredbesemer.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
Jackson, Bellows, Wood, Shah... and my cat. Even my cat's dumb ass would be a better choice. Mills is not popular. I don't know why everyone outside of Maine thinks she is.

Jared Besemer @jaredbesemer.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
No she wasn't. I have no idea where you got this but Mills consistently polled worse than Platner against Collins. Jackson, Bellows, and Wood are all better choices to replace Platner.

Janet Mills is not a progressive in any sense of the word. It was great that she backed trans kids, but she is a corporate centrist dem through and through.

Jared Besemer @jaredbesemer.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
Absolutely fucking not. Mills will get crushed. We have better options.

The answer is unionization and worker solidarity.

Israel is no doubt queueing up the mother of all bombing campaigns to derail this.

I initially read this as "can't walk a straight line and wipe their own ass" and it made me wonder if that was something I should be able to do.

If it's a real tank it's definitely a military target. But I submit that keeping Andrew Tate alive and in Russia is the correct play for Ukraine.

This cracked me up. Everyone on Bsky acting like LaFlamme was a viable option and I'm sitting up here in Maine going NOBODY KNOWS WHO SHE IS!

Personally I would have to find an accusation credible before I thought anything else about it.

Jared Besemer @jaredbesemer.bsky.social · 09/06/2026
And we are believing an open and proud MAGA fascist with zero corroborating evidence?

Oh well the fascist is a woman so we should trust her! Morons.

The Venn diagram of leftists who think punching fascists is good (it is) and leftists who think we should take the word of a fascist when they, without any evidence, accuse a leftist of simple battery has way too big of an overlap.

Jared Besemer @jaredbesemer.bsky.social · 09/06/2026
I'm curious what stuff they found that you find so galling? I've basically just been polling people on what they think Platner has been accused of and almost everyone has been wrong. God help me if an out and proud fascist accuses me of anything because the left is gullible as hell.
110
Jared Besemer @jaredbesemer.bsky.social · 09/06/2026
Every online person I have spoken to about Platner has made an incorrect claim about the accusations against him and that is a great example of how inflammatory headlines are effective forms of propaganda. Most people are too lazy to read the story.

Jared Besemer @jaredbesemer.bsky.social · 09/06/2026
I could've spent every hour of the last 3 months campaigning for her and it wouldn't have made a difference. She couldn't even get 2,000 signatures to get on the ballot. Nobody knows who she is. It's amazing how completely out of touch the average Bsky user is with the situation on the ground here.

How many Nazis do you know who spent their lives on reddit and said a grand total of zero Nazi shit? So is it more likely he is a super secret Nazi or that he got a skull and crossbones tat with his unit because they thought it looked cool?

Jared Besemer @jaredbesemer.bsky.social · 09/06/2026
So yes, I do deserve what I get with that attitude. Because backing LaFlamme at this point gets me Susan fucking Collins. Maybe she should try again against King and take the whole thing a bit more seriously next time.

Jared Besemer @jaredbesemer.bsky.social · 09/06/2026
I have spoken to people about LaFlamme as an alternative to Platner and the universal response is "who is that?" No normie voters have any clue who she is. Not good for a write in. Didn't help that she spent part of the lead up to this primary fighting with a well-liked small business over signs.

Jared Besemer @jaredbesemer.bsky.social · 09/06/2026
We have his online history in which he said zero Nazi shit. He's standing with labor. He's standing with the LGBTQ community. He supports abortion rights. He supports universal healthcare. He opposes genocide. He can win the election. Nobody else checks those boxes. What is the more moral choice?
010
Jared Besemer @jaredbesemer.bsky.social · 09/06/2026
I'm not making things harder by making shit up about an already problematic candidate or believing obvious smear jobs by known liars. Platner is a problem because of his military and mercenary work. Not because a fascist ex made some shit up about him. Not because he got a skull and crossbones tat.

Jared Besemer @jaredbesemer.bsky.social · 09/06/2026
Well my choices are a flawed person who will theoretically vote the way I want, two centrist imperialists who support genocide, and a write in candidate who seems OK on policy but couldn't even get her shit together enough to get on the ballot and has no chance of winning.

Jared Besemer @jaredbesemer.bsky.social · 08/06/2026
I'm disregarding the claims of a fascist who worked to get a credibly accused rapist placed on the Supreme Court. It is fucking batshit that anyone believes a word coming out of her mouth. Do we just trust career liars now?

Jared Besemer @jaredbesemer.bsky.social · 08/06/2026
You'll notice i didn't have to lie about multiple women accusing him of abuse because I actually did the reading beyond the headline.

Jared Besemer @jaredbesemer.bsky.social · 08/06/2026
Only one woman has accused him of abuse and I don't believe her because she is a lifelong far right operative with zero corroborating evidence or testimony and I wasn't born yesterday. I'm not giving him grace. He is what he is. But that story could not be more obviously bullshit.

Jared Besemer @jaredbesemer.bsky.social · 08/06/2026
You can condemn his mercenary work without buying into an obvious political hit job.
