    Ahh the neoliberal “its the voters who are the problem” fever dream, where Democrats can never fail, they can only be failed by voters.

    A fever dream which has resulted in the Democratic party having a lower approval rating than Trump. Surely defending Democrats as an institution and blaming voters will gather more people to your coalition and help stop Trump.

    You gotta get it through your head homie. You blaming voters for the failures of the Democrats: Its why Trump won in both 16 and 24. You’re the problem if you take issue with how voters vote.




  • Yeah well. That person equals Buittegeig and no one will fucking vote for their arses because they’re an utter fraud and it’s fucking obvious.

    There’s a point being made about how real people with real fucking lives get excluded from being able to engage in politics because their lives didn’t go the right way to fit into a consultants wet dream of what a candidate should look like.

    It’s a weird and interesting form of what-about-ism I’m happy to engage with because I do find it uniquely interesting.

    As an aside. I think Maine has a firm of state wide mental disorder that make our and largely all of ours conversation utterly irrelevant, but fine to have at it regardless. I do think Maine has state wide oppositional defiance disorder and they just mostly do the thing that the majority of people are telling them not to do.

    Like if you want some one with no sexual past your basically saying only the worst neoliberals are allowed to run for office. So anyone doing the thing right now, this will be the statute I evaluate against
