He's just going to fuck up his local area for his next excursion, the fucking traitor.

Won't be forgetting anytime soon.

He has been a terrible disappointment, but Bruce Poliquin was loathsome. I am glad Golden is not running again, and I really hope his rearranged district, now including me, will fend off the even more loathsome Paul Lepage.

The northern half of Maine is full of deplorables, sorry to say, so it's going to be a nail biter.

He represents an extremely rural (and White) district that went for Trump even when he (Golden) was elected. And he came in 2nd in the 2020 election, but with ranked-choice voting he was bumped up to the winner. All his elections have been squeakers, so it's not clear how well a progressive Dem would do. Hopefully we'll find out in November.

in America, they can thank JD "Couchf*cker" Vance for setting a fine example of "alternate love" for all the MAGA boys out there.

...we wouldn't be in this situation today, if Dems had not been complicit from the beginning > Nixon & Reagan. How many cycles have we gone through of Republican wrecking ball and Dem "cleaning" up, calming people down, and downplaying all of our concerns?

They are all touting a version of "just a little pain now, things will be better soon, trust us" mantra.

When Dems get back into power to do yet another round of "cleanup" we will then hear, "there is no money to do anything, the debt and deficit are out of control."

This doesn't mean don't vote!

This means we have got vote in masses while also identifying these people and getting them the hell out of the Democratic party, one way or another.

Makes me sick! 1 "Dem" fascist sympathizer giving cover to all those MAGA REPUBLICON fascists. Disgusting.

NO MORE WARS!
Release the EPSTEIN FILES!
