2026 Midterm Elections Thread

[wire28]

So you have to be Nazi adjacent to appeal to white voters?

Yeah, this country is cooked. I'm not expecting any positive result in November.

To Dems in Maine, apparently

I’m not tripping because I don’t have the displeasure of being the 2% of black people in maine

But eventually he will have to vote for stuff in the senate that will impact black people and minorities outside of his state. So as long as he continues to be a progressive champion for the marginalized when that happens, we will have to take it

That's funny, because you didn't have that same grace for Newsome sitting with Shapiro.

Appearing on platforms doesn't mean you bend over backwards like Fetterman Gavin newsome and others whom have done so

Check above

Platner is a right place, right time candidate. I listened to the same PSA episode and his political naivety means he's in for a wild wake up call when he wins his low bar race against Collins.

I agree

I do empathize with him a little more on the tattoo and reddit posts because time and experience typically matures most people. Especially being a young military member. I'm interested to see how and if he matures as a Senator or if he falls from grace like Fetterman.

Never was a fan of Fetterman I generally dont get the comparison outside of them both being bigger men and white. Fetterman also had a stroke

Well that’s the point. It’s alright to do all that at minimum questionable shyt if I like you. But if I don’t, then it’s another thing I can hold against you and say is a redline and you aren’t electable

Was he bending over or meeting those conservative voters where they are?

Both were candidates in the right place at the right time because the alternatives were worse than a little known guy saying all the right things.

No, but the likes of Gavin Newsom and Fetterman are when they go on conservative podcasts and completely capitulate to their views and framing. Gavin Newsom basically agreed with everything Ben Shapiro said to him, whether it was about genocide in Gaza or ICE.

Hes done the same thing with Charlie kirk and steve Bannon

Both were candidates in the right place at the right time because the alternatives were worse than a little known guy saying all the right things.

I still dont think they're similar, but I guess this a fair argument

 

[Outlaw]

Sure but him potentially being an annoying nuisance on the national stage won't be helpful.

Also, I don't even trust Maine voters to vote out Susan Collins (until proven otherwise). For some f*cking reason, she always manages to get re-elected. Maine is a weird state.

I don’t think Platner will be like Fetterman.

Fetterman is compromised by Israel and Platner seems to be Anti Zionism

 

[King Static X]

You literally complaining that hes not running on things that doesn't fit his state.

"he's just another White leftist that likes to ignore racial issues "

Dog, Maine is 95% white . Why would he be talking about racial issues while running for Congress in a state like that? Some of you would rather see candidates lose elections just to appease your own expectations as voters. Complaining that a candidate shouldn't tailor their message to the concerns of the voters they’re actually trying to represent is insanity

Yeah, you clearly don't understand what I'm saying.

No sense going any further

Uh, OK? I never mentioned anything about Israel.

Platner potentially being a nuisance (if elected) has to do with his personal brand and history of poor decision-making (i.e., the Nazi tattoo).

Fetterman is compromised because of Israel, most of the ire he receives comes from that relationship.

Platner doesn’t have that issue, the Zionist don’t have leverage on him, that’s why the Dem establishment doesn’t support him

 

[King Static X]

Fetterman is compromised because of Israel, most of the ire he receives comes from that relationship

1) Fetterman's issues are much more than just his stance on Israel.

2) Once again, Israel has NOTHING to do with my problem with Platner. Literally no correlation whatsoever.

Which makes it all the more confusing he is playing footsie with neo nazis on their pods. He’s not even getting paid for it

1) his ties to Israel are his biggest issues

2) if Platner wins what are you worried that he’ll do?

 

[Outlaw]

The Pod he went on is a big anti Zionist but from a right wing perspective

(The pod host believes Israel popped Charlie Kirk because Kirk stopped Trump from fully committing to an Iran invasion last year.)

Platner is probably drawn to that Pod because there’s a soft left wing and right wing populist understanding that America needs to be decoupled from Israel for us to progress as a nation

 

[King Static X]

1) his ties to Israel are his biggest issues

One issue, but there are others.

2) if Platner wins what are you worried that he’ll do?

Maybe read the last page, where I gave my viewpoints lol.

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

Do you consider Platner a Nazi?

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

I was about him originally but in 2026 Zionism may trump cac racism as far as being the main impediment to America becoming the country we all believe it can be.

Why can our parties agree on supporting the Zionist state but can’t agree on extending healthcare subsidies?

It’s a crooked system and our country has been cucked by the Zionists since JFK got popped

I want you or anyone who believes this to explain to me how Zionism has a more foundational and system-wide impact on American life than 400 years of racial hierarchy. Are you saying that Zionism has diminished white racism/supremacy to the point that it plays a secondary role? If Zionism disappeared tomorrow, would it be easier for this country move forward? Would it become possible to achieve materially beneficial progress for all of this country's citizens? Will the militarism that distorts this country's priorities change? Or will the same regressive elements exist, that existed long before Israel became a state, and long before the AIPAC was created, or the "special relationship" was solidified?

I'm not saying that Pro-Israel lobbying doesn't have incredible influence on our foreign policy or election outcomes. They can make or break a candidate. But white racism is a foundational, centuries-old domestic structure embedded in every single aspect of this country. It is why this country isn't what it should be.
