Here is another Democrat running.
A communist.

This is only going to make Mainers love him more. He says what’s on his mind. Like Trump.

he says that rural Whites are stupid, but from his photo he appears to be one - what am I missing?

A lot, apparently. Along with his past comments, he sports a Nazi tattoo. And he is not the working class guy he is being promoted as.

I had at least assumed that the Democrats "working class hero" with the inconvenient Nazi tattoo was in fact real working class-- but no, he's just another guy from a fancy background whose father was a prominent attorney and whose grandfather was a famous architect.

He briefly attended Hotchkiss, one of the fanciest New England prep schools.

The fact that the Dems and their media allies were pushing this guy as working class just illustrates how completely actual White working class men have abandoned the Democrats.

After all, Trump called his voters stupid, and called veterans suckers and losers. “I like people who weren’t captured”. MAGA only cheered and voted for him harder.

Republicans have changed the rules so it’s no longer possible to smear any candidate. Nothing is disqualifying - not rape, or pedophilia, or fraud, or brain worms, or being a dry drunk white supremacist. Compared with that, this is small potatoes (and, frankly, refreshing to hear a Democrat speak his mind).

Yes, but these are all Republicans. Democrats don't want to vote for these nutcases. They'd prefer a 2 term Governor who is a vetted and respected leader, even if she's in her 70s.

Sounds bad! Sure don’t want the federal government buying large stakes or taking golden shares in major US companies!

You mean like Intel?

The Overton Window is wide open now. Speaking in a restricted manner and giving non answers looks worse than just saying whatever comes to mind. The political rule book has been burnt to a crisp.

I don't give an F what any Dem said in the past. R's have long set the bar for what can be said and done and still be ignored.

There was nothing in the "present" for the Maine candidate or for Jay Jones. We've all said dumb things like that in hyperbole. Obv jones's statement wasn't a threat as it was in 2022. Unlike J6 which was an actual insurrection.

So anyone clutching pearls can F all the way off.

Has anyone heard Platner speak? He's good. He has a shot.

So democrats are going full communist?

If nothing is going to happen after Young Republicans are caught flying SWASTIKAS in their office, then spare me the pearl clutching over this crap.

Also, lol at thinking “communism” or “socialism” are scary words, as if we’re still living in the 1950s. Capitalism hasn’t exactly been working out well for the average person lately.

Are you talking about this incident?
The "GOP hill staffer" who is actually a Democratic activist? LOL.
And, go for the march toward communism. You think the Democrats are polling in the toilet now? It can get worse. And, it will.

Funny how he didn’t display swastikas until he started working for a GOP congressman.

Nazis sure do love MAGA. MAGA leaders in turn like to wink at Nazi beliefs and symbolism (but always in a way where they can quickly deny it). Young Republicans discussing gas chambers and making vile racist and anti-Semitic comments when they think no one’s looking. Stephen Miller borrowing heavily from Goebbels during his speech at Charlie Kirk’s funeral. The CPAC stage shaped like a Nazi rune. Elon’s salute. The TPUSA summit that attracted neo-Nazis. Trump’s “very fine people” on both sides.

As for “polls”, lol. Trump’s approval ratings are in the Marianas trench. Dems have been winning special elections. The mask is coming off and the American people are seeing MAGA for what they truly are.

I don’t have a crystal ball. I guess we will find out.

I’m not from Kentucky but will donate a few bucks to Daniel’s campaign just to piss Scott Jennings off.
