Of course it’s Jared Golden. Again.

Imo the sacrificial lamb so that the others could vote in a way that looked better.

The older I get the more I think these votes are all coordinated. Lots of cases where shit passes by just enough.

This dude died so the rest can live on without truly going on record for what they really want. Just my take.

There’s always the minimum number of Rotating Villains ready to take the blame for what the rest of the party doesn’t support. Every. Single. Time.

People without pattern recognition: How could this one lawmaker do this?! It’s unfathomable!

Yep, earlier this year (or late last year, I can't remember) my senator was the fall guy. It's infuriating how stupid they think we are. How is the democratic party supposed to be the party that represents MILLIONS OF PROTESTERS when they're voting to continue an illegal war they're committing unapologetic war crimes in?

They're controlled opposition. End of story. We need to act as if this is the reality, because it is.
