Feel this is a good accompanying piece for all the folk insisting on caping for a Blackwater merc wth a nazi tattoo because he said something they liked.

    And then chuds will laugh at you because they vote as a block.

    Let them laugh? I’m looking at the 1/3 of the country that doesn’t vote in the general election and the significant portion of Americans that don’t vote in the midterm elections. I am attempting to get you to realize that 2/3 is a winning majority - so encourage your favorite lesser evil to realize this too.

    … he was a fucking Blackwater mercenary who murdered and subjugated brown people on the other side of the planet in the name of corporations

    Wasn’t that for 6 months? If you want to give me his body count, please do tell. It might influence my decision, if only slightly. I won’t blame somebody for being sucked up by our MIC.

    People like me will always vote for populist policies in such a primary - it’s the lesser evil in this instance and for the greater good.

    And for the record, Fetterman never had me fooled. If an establishment-backed poser like him fooled you, that’s on you for not realizing that.

      Okey dokeys. Good luck convincing 66.66% of the country that you are correct by, let me check:

      1. Backing nazis who worked for blackwater
      2. Calling people fools
      3. Helping republicans win so that they can make sure we “never have to vote again”

        I don’t need to personally convince 2/3 of the country.

        In our current system, that’s the job of politicians, their campaigns, and so forth.

        Backing nazis who worked for blackwater

        1. I said I would vote for populist policies. It’s the lesser evil. Re-read.

        Calling people fools

        1. Re-read, I did not state this. You’re not a fool.

        Helping republicans win so that they can make sure we “never have to vote again”

        1. A vote for Janet Mills is a vote for Susan Collins. Look at the previous races that Susan Collins has won and who ran against her. Janet Mills is also the least popular governor in the US.
