My first response was House Democrat Jared Golden of Maine, what a jerk.
My second was, after wikipedia,
" It is the second-most rural district in the United States, with 72% of its population in rural areas, and it has the second highest proportion of non-Hispanic White residents (94%); only Kentucky's 5th congressional district exceeds it in the two categories ... it is the only district in New England that voted for Donald Trump in 2020."
Say what you need to say dude, to get those fucking idiots you represent the representation they need rather than the shit they deserve.
I don't get her. She's so interesting, but before, her guy was MITT. Whereas these others, like Bill Barr are the hugest phonies, I mean phonies then and now-- and as a phony Bill Barr is sloppy. As a guy trying to get by in a hearing he's sloppy. As a slick lawyer, shouldn't he have better resources than having to ask to have the question repeated after he's given it a minute's careful thought? As a sage truth teller now that time's gone by, he's still sloppy-- criticizing Trump! What does he think-- that nobody remembers anything?
Do people really not get that not all districts are the same and Democrats in conservative districts have to be more conservative? Is this some but everyone is doing?
They just might, if the candidate ran on Sanders' platform. After all, Sanders did best in the reddest state primaries, especially those that were open or semi-open primaries (e.g., unaffiliated voters could vote). It's also worth noting that when the first G.E./head-to-head (Clinton/Sanders v Trump/Cruz/Carson) polling began in mid-Oct. of '15, Clinton and Sanders each had a one point lead among 'independents' over Trump. When this polling stopped in mid-May of '16, Clinton still had her one point lead, but Sanders' lead was 15 points. And in the G.E., Trump carried the demographic by four points.
Just because a Democrat has the endorsement of the DNC/DCCC, M$M approval, and can raise obscene amounts of cash from high-end donors, doesn't mean they have any credibility with actual voters. In most cases, it's more of an electoral curse than blessing.
This is why five 'liberal' DNC/DCCC-endorsed candidates in NY, and at least three in CA, lost races they should have won. And lost control of the House as well.
Yes, he is very popular with right wing rat-fuckers and sexists.
The Dem base - black women in particular - loathe his dried-up, Dem-screwing, finger-waving, holier than tho useless grifting ass.
HRC beat him like a drum. His rigged narrative and Rovian attackers on not only her chracter but also her lifelong commitment to health care played a critical role in electing Trump.
Biden beat him like a drum.
Fuck Bernie.
Hillary Clinton was the most admired woman for the 13th years in a row until the also awesome Michele Obama took her place.
In contrast, Bernie is a putin-licking toxic tool that is widely loathed and very narrowly admired.

On Naomi Klein being mistaken for Naomi Wolf: I also feel bad for Matt Gertz at Media Matters being mistaken for Matt Gaetz. That must really suck, also too.
Marie Gluesenkamp Pérez had another condescending interview in the Seattle Times in which she gaslights us that she'll keep voting against student loan forgiveness until the Ku Klux Kongress passes all of these education reform programs that help "her constituents," when she knows full well they never will.
Hope that backstabbing Trail Mix Sinema enjoys getting defeated next year.
P.S. Funny how female Democrats that stab other women in the back are always praised for their independence.
Liking my new therapist. She's telling me I should fight for myself. I like that.
It gets puddier. ahahhahahahah!
Easy questions!!
who are radical leftist elitists?
A boogeyman made up by the right
Who are working-class Mainers?
The people you should be working for, not the radical right-wing elitists (ie, rich people)
Should military service be celebrated or pitied?
Pitied.
Are unions good, and are they an option for all workers?
Yes, and probably

Why would the Democrat who's district voted Trump twice not vote like Bernie? Fucking mystery.
You mean, fail to show up and have an entire career of defeating dems and naming three post offices?
I guess because, unlike Bernie, he is not a grifting fuck-off.

"Christmas is coming"
Was driving home just last night and saw a couple houses with Christmas lights. I wanted to shout "IT'S AUGUST!!!!"
Apparently you are not a Redneck Woman fan
Some of the online supermarkets have mince pies etc already. I think that's more a cost of living crisis thing than Christmas creeping forward.

Not sure how I missed this, not a beer I buy, but good for them--
Some call it an old folk saying, but I always go by what my grandmother used to tell me:
If your Naomi is Klein,
You're doing just fine.
If your Naomi is Wolf
Oof, buddy, oof.
My grandmother was constantly repeating that same little verse and chuckling! With her thick accent.
Cry us a river Peter.

Looks like Navarro won't have a good morning.

Like Fucking Bernie Sanders is not praised for his toxic bullshit?
It is not a gender thing. It is that Kool Kids shit on Dems, and doing so makes you cool.
"I’d like to continue the conversation."
You might think Congress is all talk, no action, but Jared Golden says NO, there's *too much* action. Let's stop doing things, and talk more!
