He was stringing together a lot of pandering buzzwords and phrases, it all happened relatively fast and I can see how people were fooled. This stuff just doesn’t happen on the right. But now people need to reflect on why they would rather be told lies they want to hear above the truth.

It’s a solid blue state with a Republican senator they begrudgingly vote for over and over because it’s an old state that loves career politicians that bring in pork spending. What do you mean ever win Maine again? You guys make it so obvious you’re just shoehorning your narratives in.

Then they go all in for a blackwater merc with a Nazi tattoo because he said the right pandering words and dressed up in the right costume. But when the establishment boogeyman turns out to be right about the guy? Oh suddenly they barely supported Platner! It’s such bullshit.

benj @verchub.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Why are you guys trying to act like the evil establishment boogeyman tricked Platner into raping people all so they could take the nomination away from him? You sound insane.

As if it wasn’t a bunch of consultants who concocted a facade for this rapist, flew into the state tricking voters, with all of you applauding as happened — and all it took was the guy putting on a flannel shirt and whining generically about “the establishment” for you to be all in.

It’s going to make pundits and ratfcker influencers happy because being divisive gets you engagement. They have 2 weeks to do this, they can’t schedule a new vote. Why not have some humility and butt out especially after all swooping in to push the blackwater merc rapist on them in the first place?

The impact of the destruction of USAID is so wide-ranging. We got a field report from one of the poorest states in India, where foreign aid funded "TB champions" who educate and assist tuberculosis patients. Without their help, advocates expect a 36% increase in cases & 68% rise in deaths from TB.

Losing India’s Guardian Angels - The American Prospect

USAID funding supported efforts to eradicate tuberculosis in India, one of the country’s deadliest diseases. Now, that money and support is gone.

“The oldest new senator” is such stupid and misleading specificity. She won’t be the oldest senator, in fact, she’ll be younger than Maine’s other senator and many others too.

Talking about collective punishment and calling people perverts is evangelical bullshit. It’s not a comparison, it is what it is. You guys expose yourselves as indoctrinated and disinterested in dismantling those insane and antisocial frameworks in your minds. Learn to have a normal conversation.

One point that may have been lost: I’ve never seen this ad before. It’s only when I searched for Mexican folk music tonight that YouTube started running it. Google’s surveillance technology has enabled the government to selectively terrorize specific groups in service of white supremacy.

The first strike was also murder. You can’t just up and kill civilians on the high seas and then claim you were at war with them.

I love how when Biden tried to relieve some student loan debt the entire country from the people to the press to the Supreme Court leapt to immediate action and then this is just an eye roll inducing thing apparently.

Everyone in the state knew Mills was going to jump in and that the others would be a long shot. It’s like those candidates who run in presidential primaries knowing they won’t win but can increase name recognition for future endeavors. She’s not a bad person for leaving due to his heinous comments.

benj @verchub.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

Maine just voted in 2024 for their other Senator who is like 5 years older than Mills. Also Maine is the oldest state in the country. You guys have got to stop pushing these narratives where they don’t fit.

benj @verchub.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

Maine last year just voted for an 80 year old as their other Senator in 2024. Age is not a factor in that state and to the degree it would be, it would be a detriment for an inexperienced younger candidate to swoop in complaining about old people.

And so have his supporters who always claim the Democratic Party is a right wing party, then they point to super xenophobic overwhelmingly white European countries as examples of real leftist parties. Call that socialism all day long but in the US it just looks like an attempt to revive Dixiecrats.

The fact that so many of these attack-from-the-left-to-aid-the-far-right outlets and individuals are coordinating in defense of this guy makes me believe there is a conspiracy going on.
