Eddie Sheppard makes an important point. In a temporary crisis, voters look for rescue.
In a structural one, they look for management, durability, and control.

I haven't been paying attention to the Maine senate race, so all I know about Platner is that he's the Nazi tattoo Blackwater guy. His politics and policy proposals? Absolutely no idea. Just the Nazi tattoo and Blackwater stuff.
It's disqualifying for a Democrat. Period.

this quoted post is uninformed nonsense. policy changes towards trans people have been profound at both the state and federal level.
the EEOC won’t even process charges of trans discrimination right now for fucks sake.

now, personally, I don’t care about making fun of streamers but I simply wouldn’t pretend to give a shit about trans people while minimizing their oppression and doing this in support of vote shaming for a transphobe like Newsom 2 years early

A cargo airplane is a truck, though
the two types of vehicle are cars and trucks, with every vehicle being a subclass of one of those two. a jeep is a truck. a motorcycle is obviously a car. a boat is a truck. an airplane is a car and a helicopter is a truck. trucks are cars, interestingly enough, and cars are a specific type of chair
