    Democrats Begin to Clash Over Who Replaces Platner Even Before He Exits

    #Progressives and #moderates are gearing up for a fight over an as-yet-undecided process in #Maine to name a Senate nominee to replace #GrahamPlatner after a rape accusation. He still wants a say, too.

    Excerpt: "A range of candidates are being discussed, with some early attention on those who ran and lost the primary for governor this year. Those Democrats include #TroyJackson, a former president of the Maine Senate; Nirav Shah, a former director of Maine’s public health agency; and #ShennaBellows, Maine’s secretary of state. But some Democrats were concerned about elevating someone who just lost.

    "Supporters of Mr. Jackson, who had backed Mr. Platner in the primary, created a Draft Troy website and he filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission for a Senate exploratory committee. Mr. Shah put out a statement that said he had received 'hundreds of encouraging messages,' adding that anyone who ran for the nomination should commit to a televised debate and 'multiple town halls across every corner of the state.' "

    The recent case of some woman who received #parole for same charges is apples to oranges: She forged a letter, to gain personally. Peters stole #voting records, to steal #election & void legit #votes; claims innocence, will crime again!

  9. Fuck moderate Democrats. They all deserve to go to jail for destroying the United States for their incompetence and for their hatred of the Democrat base. These are the evil Democrat presidents. MORE Zohran Mamdanis less Joe Bidens.

  11. "People are astonished, people are indignant. People say: "How strange! But, bah! It's Nazism, it'll pass! And people wait, and hope; and people hide the truth to themselves – that it's barbarism, but the supreme barbarism, the one that crowns, the one that sums up the everyday barbarities; that it's Nazism, yes, but that before being its victims, people were its accomplices; that people put up with this Nazism before suffering it, people absolved it, people turned a blind eye to it, people legitimised it, because until then it had only been applied to non-European peoples; that people nurtured this Nazism, people are responsible for it, and that it bubbles, that it pierces, that it drips, before engulfing people in its reddened waters, from all the cracks in the Western and Christian civilisation."

  13. Words for the colonized unwise -> Please fuck all the way off with your personal PR statements about supporting Indigenous sovereignty, when you're still double dipping into colonial capitalism, financial benefit pools, with both of your bare feet, so to speak.

    We see your hypocrisy, two-faced muthafuckas.

  15. People who deny the #marketplaceofideas are wrong. However what #liberals and #moderates fail to understand is that its a marketplace with targeted ads thanks to internet corporate captured algorithms. "We see what ideas you have bought before, perhaps you would be interested in national socialism." #capitalism #fascism

  17. 🔥At least half of #Republican voters in #Arizona and #Nevada say they would
    ✅ vote for ballot initiatives this November that #protect #abortion #access, according to a pair of Fox News polls released Wednesday.

    ♦️Fifty percent of Republicans in Arizona,
    ♦️and 54 percent of Republicans in Nevada
    say they would vote for their states’ proposed constitutional amendments to
    “establish the right to an abortion up until fetal viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health,”
    according to the polls, which were conducted on Aug. 23-26, 2024.

    The initiatives are broadly supported in both key battleground states, and across demographics groups.

    Overall, 73 percent of Arizona voters say they back the proposed state amendment, including
    🔸95 percent of #Democrats and
    🔸76 percent of #independents.

    The amendment is backed by
    96 percent of self-described #liberals,
    81 percent of self-described “#moderates” and
    52 percent of self-described “#conservatives.”

    The only Arizona demographic with less than 50 percent backing the initiative is “#white #evangelicals,”
    49 percent of whom support the amendment.

    Even among those who “strongly disapprove” of President Biden,
    51 percent support the initiative.

    ⭐️Similar trends are evident in #Nevada.  

    Overall,
    75 percent of Nevada voters back the ballot initiative, including
    95 percent of #Democrats and
    76 percent of #independents.

    Nearly all (96 percent) of the #liberal voters back the initiative,
    as do 81 percent of #moderates and
    57 percent of #conservatives.

    A majority (58 percent) of #white #evangelical voters in Nevada back the initiative,
    as do 54 percent of those who “strongly disapprove” of Biden.

    The polls come as Democrats hope abortion remains a #top #issue for voters, who say they largely trust the Democratic party on the issue more than they do the Republicans.

  19. #Liberalism has been typically suckered into #Libertarian definitions of #Freedom that are wildly incorrect.

    #Liberty is not to be #free from #authority. It is the capacity to actualize.

    Like, mathematically we can talk about a systems degrees of freedom. So if we are intent on maximizing liberty, we would be intent to maximize the median individuals degrees of freedom.

    (Likely better, the average of the log of the degrees of freedom)

    We can see, quite plainly, that the individual exhausted from hunger has fewer degrees of freedom than one restricted from murder by an authority but well fed.

    Thus a #Liberal inherently should seek to support any change which improves our metric of average freedom. Which would imply a need to feed and house people.

    #Moderates are not #liberals, they are #BootLickers. Liberalism is solidly a #Leftist philosophy, and inherently progressive. Supposed #ClassicLiberals are just wrong.
