Dear #Democrats, stop fucking us over with backing more elderly politicians. As a 64 year old, I want to see some younger blood in the trenches. Sorry, but it’s time to go with those with fresh ideas. I have no issue with Janet Mills, but there are other capable options already running.

Omg. Is this for fucking real?????

Yeah, I’m disappointed in her. It’s so frustrating when you think that you’re voting for a fighter & they turn out to be a coward just in it for a paycheck. Some of her cabinet votes were so disappointing.

Just run for congress. They rarely work and still get paid.

MaryPat 🇺🇦 🇲🇽 🇨🇦 🇵🇸 @marypat61.bsky.social · 2d

Why don’t they just retire? They get benefits & I’m sure a pension (unlike most regular folks). Don’t politicians have any outside hobbies they can do?

i actually think someone who would be 79 years old when they take office should not just be discouraged from running but be prohibited from running

So Dominion Voting Systems just sold to a company called Liberty Vote. The owner is a former GOP election official. Nothing to see here. Right?

Netanyahu is guilty of the October 7 attack just as much as Hamas was for carrying it out, he went a step further and carried out a genocide with the cowards at the UN, White House and EU fully aware and too spineless to rein him in. The victims in Israel & Gaza have one mutual murderer above all.

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her.

RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

I was not wrong.
