Mills not endorsing Jackson is insane, I genuinely do not understand why Schumer decided to tap someone who doesn't really support the Democratic party

I'm so glad centrist identity politics are just short of dead to Dem primary voters.

I feel like all this tiptoeing around AIPAC is only going to make antisemitism worse in the long run. It's the equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and chanting "lalalalala" as pro-Israeli third worldists dump unfathomable amounts of money trying to buy out every election.

Crockett, Scholten, Mills, Bankhead, etc etc etc are all just so much more damaging to the party than the DSA ever was.

Mills refusal to endorse Jackson shows that even against Platner, she was never the right choice for Maine Senate.

I believe the answer here is resoundingly obvious. But like the trolley problem, a lot of people aren't willing to flip that switch despite it ultimately "saving more people".

I absolutely love moral/ethical dilemmas and trolley problems and like this is would you "empower the rapist" or sacrifice the chance of bringing Roe back/empower Trump to get more SCOTUS justices/etc.

OTOH it would have been really funny to be in the trenches the entire election cycle like that one Japanese solider who kept fighting for 29 years after WWII but for VBNMW for Platner.

Sarah 🇨🇳 @sarahv.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

I'm glad Platner is seemingly dropping out because I'm enough of a hack to VBNMW support him for the seat if he had stayed in and I'd still resent anyone who would prefer having Collins over him.

I voted for Kamala Harris in spite of her support for the genocide. That was my Vote Blue No Matter Who moment. I don’t wanna hear a damn word about Graham Platner being too much for anybody. We make compromises sometimes. Compromises on very difficult things. This is politics. Grow up.

Kier Starmer is 10000x more worthless than the most feckless national Democrat in the US. That includes Chuck Schumer. What a pathetic little worm of a man

I just don't think running a guy who only pulled off *one* municipality in the last election is the right choice.

I refuse to leave the bus because Collins is far worse. I just hope the voters of Maine agree.

My assumption is that the US intel community believed that the latter option had a high chance of being successful at achieving US objectives, but Trump was indecisive about giving the go-ahead until their window to decisively strike had long passed– leaving Iran in a stronger position vs early 26.

Sarah 🇨🇳 @sarahv.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

... difficult for Iran to consolidate after the strikes since they'd have to fight (at least for a time) both the upset civilian mob and the international conflict.

Sarah 🇨🇳 @sarahv.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

Better insofar that the US doesn't do the second round of strikes and Iran continues to weaken from a domestic security crisis that fragments the regime until they no longer pose an existential threat [or] the US could have hit during the height of the riots which might have made it far more...

Sarah 🇨🇳 @sarahv.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

.were backed by the US/Israel ended up causing Iran to retain its grip by justifying violent repression as rooting out CIA/Mossad operatives. Does make me wonder if the counterfactual would have gone better where the US struck immediately after Trump announced help was coming or kept quiet entirely.

Sarah 🇨🇳 @sarahv.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

I mean it seems like the regime has reconsolidated itself after nearly imploding from the riots which later became US/Israel's casus belli for starting the war. My impression is that those countries saw Iran as on the verge of collapse but by waiting too long and by publicly signaling the protests..

Sarah 🇨🇳 @sarahv.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

I was more referring to how the second round had much higher turnout than the first round as despite the boycott the "reformist" Pezeshkian made the runoff. Pragmatic voters decided to ensure the most moderate candidate won despite boycotting the first round.

🚨🚨The DHS shutdown is OVER. By voice vote, the House has just approved a Senate-passed DHS funding bill, which funds everything at DHS (TSA, FEMA, etc.) except for ICE and the Border Patrol. The House initially refused to approve this plan 35 days ago.

I mean even then Cunningham ran roughly even with Biden's performance despite his "historically sexy" disposition coming out a month before the election. Not sure they could have gotten much better with since Stein wanted to stay on as AG.

Yeah. I believe the academic literature is also showing that oppo is just less effective right now vs running on issues.

Sarah 🇨🇳 @sarahv.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

In normal circumstances a sitting governor without any major scandal would be, like, an S tier candidate for Senate and so that's who Schumer has targeted. Cooper (NC) was a great get, Bullock (MT) outran by a lot in 2020, etc.

Sarah 🇨🇳 @sarahv.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

He's generally been really good about nominees it is just that Mills didn't bother to campaign at all and waited so late to jump in that Platner had already defined himself.
