Idiot Cultists

I have the day off but I'm bruised and achy due to falling down yesterday. I'm sad to hear that Bonnie Tyler died. I looked for the CD I bought of hers years ago, but can't find it. I hope I didn't sell it.

 Meanwhile I'm glad that the Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship, but it's concerning how close the vote was. The 14th amendment is plain language, and the landmark Wong Kim Ark ruling helped Chinese people finally get be citizens despite the racist Chinese Exclusion Act. But a lot of American-born Asians are still treated as perpetual foreigners to this day. Always asking "where are you from?" when you actually mean, "what's your race?"

People finally abandoned Graham Platner due to the rape allegation. But he's had red flags ever since the Nazi tattoo, so I don't understand why it took so long for people to drop him. Why on earth would I trust a Nazi liar with no previous goverment experience, and a bad history? I'm supposed to believe he's super sincere about leftwing ideals, the working class, and protecting people's rights? Plus his obnoxious fans would constantly frame the Senate race as him vs. Susan Collins, not acknowledging that there were other Democratic candidates still in the race. Even after Janet Mills dropped out, there were still other candidates in the race, and Mainers had ranked-choice voting to push progressive leaders in the primary. But no, they clung to Platner cultishly, even after months of time to find a better candidate. People saying, "oh that bad behavior was just a phase. He's all better now." Telling women and minorities to shut up about their doubts and vote for the disingenuous asshole, for the good of the country. When the fuck will "progressive" white men shut up and vote like how we tell them to, for the good of the country?

Some people are STILL supporting Platner even now and whining about the "Establishment" corruptly sabotaging him. As if Susan Collins wouldn't have attacked him the same way, with much worse timing, in the general election. Blame Platner for being a fucking shitbag liar. He better stop dragging his feet and officially leave (he's yet to do the paperwork to drop out) so that Maine Democrats can pick someone before it's too late! Fucking Nazi.
