It didn't help when Chuck Schumer endorsed her and ya'll went apeshit crazy because the Jews got involved in a Maine election.

at the time I argued that the polls didn't accurately show a general election, that as voters got to know him Platner's numbers would shrink I never imagined that the polls might just be totally fake and imaginary but now with two fake polling firms being exposed, its worth asking

its becoming more and more clear that Platner was entirely a conspiracy, I mean we knew a bunch of DC consultants picked their former coke dealer to make a glossy video for but after Wedgewood it seems likely they used to fake polls to pull in donors and choke out Mills' fundraising

JUST IN: Susan Collins is STILL working with Republican operatives who were involved in the reported play-to-play scheme where Collins allegedly funneled government contracts to a major donor who then illegally contributed to the super PAC backing her.

Unearthed records show that Vivek Ramaswamy listed an Ohio residence to register as an Ohio voter and a New York residence to register as an attorney in New York. Ramaswamy may be committing class 5 felony voter fraud if he is voting in a district where he does not live.

This is genocide. Real genocide. Do you know? Now you do. Do you care? Like, really care?? You claim to hate perpetrators of genocide. Speak up. Speak out! Protest!! Do not let this horrific genocide of Christians happen!!!

This #Christian woman from #Nigeria watched as #Islamic #terrorists #murdered her husband and two little children right in front of her.... Then they chopped off her hand.... We have to speak up for these #persecuted #Christians. Stop this real #genocide ‼️

One thing Christians are great at is taking no responsibility for anything. Oh that mess in the MidEast? That's between Muslims and Jews. Uh....

Jews are .2% of the world's population. Not 2%. ZERO POINT TWO. Christians needs to blame themselves more. MUCH more.

Black women have long pointed to how white women hold up the patriarchy. Choosing the man who raped your daughter over her - and then trying to destroy her through her political opponent - is a clear example of this. Fellow white women - do better. We can't do much worse.

Amy Acton, Dems' nominee in Ohio, has long said she was molested by a man her mother married when she was a young child. There was a court battle. She went to live with her dad at age 12 ,a& she no longer talked to her mother. Ramaswamy released an ad ft the mother attacking her daughter as a liar.

I think I’m going to be at peak white-knuckling these last two weeks before the election. Ramaswamy’s ad using Amy Acton’s estranged mother is absolutely horrifying. The reason they are estranged is because Acton’s mother chose a man who sexually abused Acton as a child over her own daughter.
