As someone from Appalachia, WTF is this?

071

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Because it’s pertinent to the story.

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

I don’t agree. I think the fact that he received more primary votes than any other dem senate candidate in maines history despite the rhetoric sort of proves that. What matters now is how this ripples. It will impact El Sayed’s race.

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Coulda, shoulda, woulda. They didn’t. Now all the money aipac was going to have to spend in Maine can be spent defeating El-Sayed in Michigan or Milat Kiros or any number of other progressive candidates.

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Of course. That was the whole point of it after all

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

I’ve heard Jewish people say they had no idea what a totenkopf was before Jewish insider wrote this story. It’s clear it wasn’t a well-known symbol but we don’t need to argue that. The tattoo stuff was out BEFORE he won more votes than any other dem senate candidate in Maine’s history.

Keep in mind that Tara Reade said the exact same thing about Biden and also had friends say she told them at the time.

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

that being people will be pissed Dems pressured him to drop out and it will hurt voter enthusiasm. You are in this Bluesky bubble. More people turned out to vote for him in the primary than any dem senate primary candidate in Maine’s history. You can’t just replace that

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

First that “mountain of evidence” all came from pro-Israel publications. The people of Maine understood that. That’s why they ignored it and he won the primary. He was indeed likely to win the seat. They can replace him with the Lord himself. If he’s off the ticket, the seat is gone. One reason for

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

what we’re losing here is huge. Unfortunately and conveniently, there’s not much time left to do any of that.

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

There is no different candidate in Maine. If he’s out, it’s over. And yup, likely if he stays in it’s over. There’s no path to the senate that doesn’t flip that seat. My advice would’ve been to wait. Let’s see what the voters think. Let’s see get another confirmation. Let’s be extra care here bc

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

with it likely the senate for a story from a publication we know to be biased that has been found to omit one glaring fact in just a day. That’s not to say the accuser is lying. It’s only to say we don’t know what we don’t know and this is all moving a bit fast for my liking.

110

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

This is where everyone is mistaken on what Ryan Grim is saying. He’s not “zeroing” on anything regarding the validity of HER story. He’s zeroing in on politico’s reporting and this omission. It says nothing about the accuser and everything about politico. My fear is we are giving up this seat, and

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Then you should know he didn’t have multiple tattoos and this hasn’t been out there for months.

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Girl what are you talking about. I’m making a comparison. No more. No less.

000

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

This is devastating. We’re not going to plug someone in there in 4 months who will get the funding, the name id, the ground game. When he drops out, it’s over. The senate is gone.

210

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

I do think he drops out tonight and it becomes moot. I do think the result of that is Susan Collins wins re-election. The only question is whether we find out something down the road that makes us groan in regret. Idk but the source of this info makes me extremely uneasy.

110

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

reason enough to question their reporting. I hadn’t commented on this because I have been waiting on any media organization without a Zionist bent to confirm it. I’ve yet to see that.

100

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

I obviously disagree. I think it was pertinent, it does change the narrative and I think politico, being an admittedly pro-Israel publication (the owner calls anti-Zionism racism), shouldn’t just be trusted to report truthfully on anti-Israel candidates. Even without the omission that alone is

200

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Publication to report facts on a pro-choice candidate. That seems like common sense but I often find that’s not that common.

100

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

I’m actually not talking about bodily autonomy at all and I think the issue here is you may be having an issue with reading comprehension. I said I wouldn’t trust a pro-Israel publication like Politico to report truthfully on an anti-Israel candidate just like I wouldn’t trust a pro-life

210

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Ignoring the fact that most of that isn’t true. This was all out there before the primary (sort of), which he won. Maine chose their candidate.

100

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

No one said anything like that. The question is whether this should have been omitted. I disagree it doesn’t change the narrative. It does. My only question is what else was omitted?

100

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Without Maine, the democrats can only win the senate by flipping 3 of the following states; Ohio, Nebraska, Iowa (they actually have a chance here), Alaska and Texas. Maine is the only one of those that is a purple state. This is really going to fuck us. We need to make extra sure here.

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

How might additional vetting have caught this again? Sit this one out champ.

000

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

to get him out of the race and help her win. We are literally talking about them doing just that. It’s the right’s playbook currently. They know the left cares about people so they put our stories about a leftist candidate hurting someone to sway us. And it works. Every. Single. Time.

100

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

That is, again, not what I said. If you have to put words in my mouth, are you really disagreeing with me. Politico is a well-known pro-Israel publication. Platner is an anti-Israel candidate. Susan Collins is a pro-Israel candidate. It’s not some “grand conspiracy” to believe they may slant a storu

100

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

This is not about platner. This is about giving up a seat we were all but guaranteed to flip and possibly not having alll the facts. The right is once again taking advantage of the fact that the left has heart and cares about people.

100

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

senate at that point, and politico has omitted more information we don’t yet know about which could change this story further.

100

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

This fact was pertinent. Whether you like it or not. The fact tnat it was omitted and the omission found in a day is concerning. Platner was going to flip that seat. Susan Collins is all but guaranteed to win id he drops out. My fear here is platner drops out, we’re almost guaranteed to lose the

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Buddy what the fuck is this? Did you, a journalist, just give me a Bluesky post as a source. Where is Grim quoting a white nationalist? I’m confused.

000

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Listen if you know anything about politico you know the story was likely intentionally bias. We were going to flip this seat blue and finally rid ourselves of Susan Collins. You guys better be damn sure this story is 100% factual.

100

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

We were going to flip that seat. Do you understand? And with it, there was an outside chance of flipping the senate. Without it, that’s virtually impossible. Don’t you want to be 100% sure there was no bias in the reporting?

100

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

I never said that. I said the omission was concerning, especially given politico’s rep, because it makes me wonder if anything else was omitted and, if so, what. We’re about to upend a race the dem was winning and give up the senate. We better be damn sure the whole truth is being reported.

200

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Girl you are the worst of the centrists. Hillary Clinton didn’t lose because of Russian bots and they certainly don’t have any trying to sway vote blue no matter who assholes on Bluesky. Go sir down somewhere

000

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

How does this change the fact that a Zionist publications may write intentionally slanted stories on politicians who want to defund Israel though?

100

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

BB what are you talking about? I watch breaking points everyday. Never heard of anything like this. I couldn’t find anything to corroborate this either.

100

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

You’re again being intentionally obtuse. The government of Israel doesn’t give a shit about those things either. They care about money and weapons and don’t want senators who will vote against those things. Cute you think Netanyahu gives a fuck about Jewish self-determination

110

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Not what this is about as has been explained to you now very clearly.

100

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Nope. Sorry Monica. I’m real and I’m awesome

210

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

I’m clearly disagree. It’s not up to journalists to include or omit things based on what the reader may glean from the facts. They are simply to report the facts.

110

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Jesus fucking Christ. How many times does one need to be told to Go away

110

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Clearly yes. Platner has called for the complete defunding of Israel and a ban on sending weapons. He also calls Gaza a genocide. It’s the whole reason chuck Schumer, Mr. My-entire-job-is-keeping-democrats-pro-Israel, cleared the field and had old ass Janet mills run against him.

100

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

You understand that detail changes the story correct? Not totally but enough that unbiased reporting would’ve included it. The problem is when it comes to anti-Zionist candidates, political is not unbiased.

100

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Politico was trying to claim she asked him not to come over and he came anyway. What actually happened was she told her lover she needed a glute massage so he told her he was coming over. Ryan grim also seems to indicate he arrived or was on his way to her house before she told him not come.

100

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

You are once again putting words in my mouth and I once again telling you, you don’t need me for that.

100

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

I don’t know that this happened nor do you. What I know is in order for me to form an opinion, I need alllll the facts. I’m not a toddler. I don’t need details withheld from me and with politico’s history it makes this look like they are lying.

200

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

I disagree. Him saying I’m coming over and her telling him not to is a much different story than she said she needed her butt massaged, so he came over. Whether this changes the story isn’t relevant though. The question is whether politico should’ve included it. I think they should’ve

Kanova @kanova.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

You’re being intentionally obtuse here.
