Wow you're telling me that Aaron Coleman, weeks after being arrested for domestic violence, got arrested for a DUI? But some very serious 'journalists' said he was a 'redemption' story and that he had apologized and changed his ways. Shocking.
Can't even remember all the allegations/arrests we're at now: Revenge porn, domestic batery, DUI, abusing his ex....I'm sure I missed half a dozen.
Lol never seen a politician (much less a nobody state rep) with a Wikipedia entry like this...
Glem has really shown his ass over the past several years, but this one just might have taken the cake. "Genuine, reformed."
'reformed, remorseful'- clearly for political and ideological ends (everyone else is unprincipled and partisan, except for me). Liberals just hate him bc he's a leftist.
"I don't think I got it wrong." Wonder if @ggreenwald thinks he still got it right? I'm sure he does since Glenn Greenwald has never gotten a single thing wrong in his life. Not once. Not ever.
Almost impressive to work 2 stories that you got completely, embarrassingly, shamefully wrong in 1 tweet. But good ol' Glem is not ordinary.
lmao
(everyone else is just doing this for partisan reasons, except me, the only one doing it based off principle. No,,,YOU!)

Again, zero mention of the fact that Maine is the whitest state in the country. Alex doesn't want to mention it because it makes the state look bad and as a Real Salt of the Earth Mainer (who moved there a few years ago) he's extremely defensive about it.
Instead it's 'authenticity and realness'...with no mention that the 'authenticity' was completely manufactured by DC Consultants and turned in to a very, very well funded (again by outside money) ad campaign creating the 'realness.'
That doesn't mesh with The Narrative.
The attention economy stuff is spot on but also zero mention that the Pod Save America guys, who helped him moved past it, were very obviously a part of the campaign push.
Anyway, it's so great to have the same horse race journalism slop that emanates from every soulless DC politico journo hack, but on a local level.
Every single post on this lady's timeline is just "wahhh old people. wahhhh The Establishment"
So sick of this lady who turned an organization that was supposed to 'inspire' people to run for office (an objectively good thing) into yet another org that focuses on nothing but factional/internescant anti-Dem struggles.
See this shit is what has been so offensive about this primary; it's been non-stop dismissiveness and gaslighting from people like Jon over very real concerns.
"oh it's just what the algorithm throws in our faces."
Fuck off. It's his own words. And more importantly, his own actions.
He is lying about the Nazi tattoo. Everyone knows it. His supporters know it. Jon knows it. He's changed his story multiple times and is clearly full of shit.
Just because the people of (the white) state of Maine don't care, doesn't mean we have to be cool with it.
There has not even been an acknowledgement that (Jewish) people could actually have concerns or hang ups with a guy having a Nazi tattoo AS HE RAN FOR SENATE, just snide dismissal like this.
And 'oh you think he's literally a Nazi? Well he wore an antifa shirt once, so checkmate'
All the other stuff is bad too. There's no actual proof from his behavior that he has changed. He was doing edgelord trolling stuff calling people 'f*gs' like 5 years ago. He used 'fucking r*tarded' this past month lol.
And all of that has been waved away with disingenuous spin or even worse "The Establishment is trying to ruin me" conspiratorial bullshit.
This part of the article was extremely hilarious to me because if you remember Political Expert Astead Herndon (whose whole shtick is 'I know better than you partisans' and who hosted a podcast dedicated to explaining to people why things were happening) definitively stated that Trump's embarrassing meeting with Zelenskyy would actually BE GOOD politically for him.
And not only was that comically wrong but here you have multiple TRUMP VOTERS saying it was what very specifically made them regret voting for Trump lol.
It is truly amazing how the political expert class gets paid for their opinions for a living and for many of them, their analysis is so bad that you could pick some random fucko from the internet and they would get it more right than them.
Like, imagine being this bad and wrong at your job...the thing you're paid to be an expert in- and still being employed. Only in Political Media, baby!
Literally no one gives a shit about this. At all. It's not at all organic. Their is no massive demand for it. It's only from people looking to stir up more shit and internescent Left/Dem infighting......which the Pod Bros seem to have pivoted almost exclusively to doing.
Dems are winning everywhere. Trump is absolutely scuttling. His poll numbers are in the tank. Bad news cycle after news cycle for him.
And the pod bros are putting out 'divisive' content to stir shit up about the DNC.
Unlike with Republicans, all the ostensible 'pro Dem' podcasts constantly shit on Dems because no money/views for saying 'actually, the Dems are doing well.'
It's just so laughable to say people were mad at those 'who dared suggest Biden was slipping after the debate'.
I was mad at people like your buddy Cosplay Camo Hat Professor dude and Nate Silver who constantly over-inflated every Biden gaffe, every Politico background anon-sourced hit piece -acting like it was the only story that mattered.
Who acted like this, every time Alex Thompson published some bullshit story
And man...I sure do feel like I got that right, because literally none of these guys even mention Trump's age/cognitive decline now. Even though they played a big part in making Biden's age the only story that mattered in the election where we got the oldest president elected who is ACTUALLY demented.
The Pod Save Bros acted like massive dickheads throughout the Biden admin, but no more so after the debate. They didn't just merely 'suggest Biden was slipping', they were gleefully behaving like assholes and treating Biden like shit. Their behavior was awful and they clearly had some sort of personal axe to grind from the admin time with Biden (and his people).
They also worked hand in hand with Alex Thompson to push his stories and then promote their total failure of a book. Again, massive egos, massive dickheads. x.com/SER1897/status…
