    You’re right, Susan Collins is definitely going to do something about it.

    Leftists being pragmatic challenge: Impossible

      Leftists: “we should demand better from our representatives”

      Libs: “Ok, so you want 100% Hitler to beat 99.95% Hitler? Wow, hypocritical much?”

      And by the by a Blackwater mercenary with a Nazi tattoo who served at the Torture Prison in the Genocide War, running to be a Democratic Senator, is too far gone to be an Onion bit

        The fact that they’re asserting that the known war criminal is the less-Hitler option here really has me questioning the libs’ capacity for critical thinking even more than usual.

          Liberals are not doing well right now. It’s honestly as scary and sad to watch as a Republican.

            I find them more frustrating at times, because they are so unwilling to to question the imperial dogma. They can’t see past the Overton window and refuse to believe that the USA is a negative force in the world. It’s sickening. I can only hope some of them manage to break out of the cognitive dissonance, but I’m not holding my breath.

              At some point they’ll have to break off to survive. The ones who don’t will probably be killed or go mask off cash. Regardless we won’t have to worry about the smiling fox at that point.

    • The guy was an enthusiastic soldier for the Fourth Reich and fantasized about going back in time to fight for said entity in the US’s various genocidal colonial wars – Philippines, Korea, Vietnam. I’d be a fool not to set his redemption price very high. If GraHHam Platner doesn’t explicitly say “death 2 amriKKKa and fuck the troops” then he hasn’t even begun to try to earn redemption, and it is not pragmatic at all to let a little Nazi like him worm his way into representing any facet of the left to the broader populace.

      Liberals are by their very nature are not pragmatic. If they were this issue wouldn’t exist in the first place. Hell you can take it a step further and say if y’all were pragmatic then you would be with the rest of us for the need to abolish the system cause no way we are voting ourselves out of this. They just don’t care enough about the theater anymore.

      Oh look, the genocide supporters with no plan are reaching for the word “pragmatic” again.
