I would prefer a left-wing candidate with a voting record over an unknown making promises. I don't trust Platner but it's up to Maine voters whether or not he gets a chance. He has red flags but he is up against a known corpo Dem in a rural, purple state.
Another detail lost here. All of the manchurian-esque candidates won by promising left-wing policies. The substance of the left is popular with the majority. The fact that Dems run away from popular policy is how we get people like Sinema & Fetterman. The average voter, not the left, chose them.
You are conflating Dems with The Left. Harris was favored by the establishment while the left criticized her use of police to attack working class single moms. Platner is similarly being criticized by the left while most of the country seems to not recognize Nazi symbols that aren't a swastika.
Republicans don't "Lean to the left" to win elections. They motivate the base. Meanwhile Dems refuse to endorse winning candidates like Mamdani because he isn't a corpo/AIPAC sell out. He is up against a fascist & a sex offender & your 'team' won't give him the time of day. Fuck You!
What part of "Harris Lost To Trump" do you think makes her a good candidate? It's centrists like you, who just want to cry about The Left because they correctly criticize Democrats, that help Republicans win. The left votes Democrat while corpo Dems do nothing to attract or motivate voters.
Good time to let everyone who isn't aware know that a large chunk of Win 11 is AI generated code. It's already breaking & is a huge personal data risk. Passwords & bank accounts & business documents are not safe on Win 11.
I can't express how much I hate everyone who repeated the "No Collusion" line. That's not at all what the investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign found. Trump is a Russian asset & now the entire GOP is a Russian asset.
Not only is everything on screen insane, it's completely meaningless. The actual "Game" is just a 3 choice prompt every few seconds & no consequences. An adventure book has higher stakes. AI is not the future. It is the delusion of billionaires who religiously hate anyone who isn't a billionaire.
A very small, very loud, very braindead group falsely claims ownership of this franchise & they will do anything to crush attempts to find it a new audience.
TOS has a black woman on the main crew. At the time it was controversial. If made today Republicans would scream DEI.
You can't defeat authoritarianism by making your movement friendly to fascists & bigots. Twerps like you, who cry "Purity Test" in response to criticism, are the problem.
It literally is a conspiracy & they don't fully hide it. All of the rich sociopaths know each other, read the same hack philosophy books, & attend the same whacko presentations & conferences. Just look up "The Network State" They want replace democratic countries with dictatorial corporations.
Only symbol I know of that is sometimes-but-not-always a Nazi thing is the iron cross as it was adopted by bikers then metal heads. What Hegseth has on his skin is unmistakable & got him flagged as a potential insider threat by the military. He is a white identity extremist.
It's been said before. Right Wingers only interest in social media is to get into arguments & try to spread misery. Bsky has better filtering tools so these trolls quickly crash out for being ignored
The guy thinks calling Republicans an affront to god is FedPosting. That is mild compared to some of the things I will say online & I'm careful not to cross the line. Even pacifist Youtubers have been calling the republican party demonic for a while now.
Globally the right wing learned they can win power by ignoring reality. Their supporters live in a fantasy world concocted by people like Rush Limbaugh, prosperity preachers, Alex Jones, & Twitter trolls.
