Sir, it is not just fine *as we speak* www.bangordailynews.com/2024/07/02/o...

Donald Trump is going to win the election and democracy will be just finewww.bangordailynews.com “Democrats’ post-debate hand-wringing is based on the idea that a Trump victory is not just a political loss, but a unique threat to our democracy. I reject the premise.”

SCOTUS has taken a wrecking ball to it in the past few weeks even before you get to Trump as a threat

True dat. We're well on the way to autocracy–plutocracy–theocracy and Trump isn't President for Life yet! This tells me that our institutions were broken and corrupt for a longer period of time than most have originally thought.

What a joke of a congressman. My hometown. My god.

That’s kind of ME-2’s brand, though, right? Democrats who are much worse than the median Dem versus Republicans who are slightly better than the median GOPer.

No. Not at all. Before Jared, there was John Baldacci, who was wonderful (and a friend). Also from Bangor, William S Cohen, who today would be a moderate dem.

This is the kind of things that would make Democrats in his district go, “Well, why bother?”

ehh. he’s in Maine 2. I would expect a ton of his voters to already think that. The median Democrat there would code Republican two states south and just finds Bruce Poliquin too gross

What is this guy smoking?

Some pretty strong s#@t, by the look of it....

A ½ truth. Trump is going to win because the fix is in. But 'Democracy' being fine is the most downright risible thing that I've ever read in my entire life.

Wow, if people are wondering whether the younger institutional Dems are up to the moment... This is not great news

I just called his DC office and told his staffer that he's a traitor to American democracy and should just switch parties because we don't want him anymore.

It's not as bad or as dumb as the lede, but "actually, Trump's tariffs are good and we should support them" take is wild.
