kivlehan.bsky.social @kivlehan.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Platner turned out 37% more primary voters than presidential year in 2020 and got 72% of the vote. If they choose a candidate that doesn’t share similar positions and messaging without being problematic, they’re going to lose to Collins. Going to the center isn’t the move in this context. 210
kivlehan.bsky.social @kivlehan.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Platner may be a shithead, but his pitch resonated strongly with Maine voters. That must not be forgotten. If the Democrats do not replace him with a less problematic candidate that can articulate the same message, we'll be congratulating Susan Collins on her re-election in November. 180

kivlehan.bsky.social @kivlehan.bsky.social · 05/07/2026It’s likely a preview of the midterm messaging for the GOP. They have nothing of value to offer so they’ll try to red scare voters in swing seats across the country because a few democratic socialists are running in NY. 040

kivlehan.bsky.social @kivlehan.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Leaving the character concerns with Platner aside, something is resonating with the left populist anti-billionaire, anti-systemic corruption messaging from him and Talarico.

kivlehan.bsky.social @kivlehan.bsky.social · 26/05/2026The headline makes it sound like Magnificia Humanitas is anti AI or anti technology which it is not.
