Donald Trump is going to win the election and democracy will be just fine by Rep.Jared Golden(D-ME)

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

A few things:

- Golden is an astute politician. Trump is going to win his district by 15 points possibly, lol, at this rate
- it’s not like Golden went rogue; pretty sure he ran this by some higher ups to not PO people, which should also tell you something
- he’s not wrong

Imagine actually believing this

Anyway, Golden is clearly a vile and cowardly scumbag who is manifestly unfit for public office.

Huh? You don’t think a frontline Dem said “hey I am going to publish something disparaging toward our nominee and the sitting president” to some folks before doing it? Do you understand how the world and workplaces work??

I think Golden has always been Manchin 2.0 and this merely confirms that.  Also, I don’t think Golden gives a crap about anything except his own skin.

Be that as it may, he won in 2020 and 2022 fairly convincingly when Democrats in less red seats lost. He knows how to win.

This wasn’t necessary

[It’s so Joever]

Blatant survival mode.

So wait you ADMIT Trump is ending democracy?

[Progressive Pessimist]

I know that Golden has to do what he has to in order to win, but one thing all Democrats across the country and spectrum need to be united on the front of Trump being a horror.

He gets a pass for being in a super Trumpy district and for being cute, but even an obnoxious centrist like myself finds this framing annoying. Disciplined moderates should not be downplaying threats to democracy.

Unpopular opinion: people saying that democracy will end if Trump is elected is not helping defeat Trump. It just makes people feel like sh*t about politics and leads to a snowball of pessimism and destruction.

Off topic, but what does the color black and the letter F represent on this forum?

Yeah, I'm fine with man doing what he needs to win but framing definitely could've been better.

[Tekken_Guy]

Trump will certainly erode our democratic institutions further over the next four years if he wins, but he won’t be able to completely kill them by the time his term is up.

Maybe we’ll look like Poland or Hungary or Israel, but we’re not the next Nazi Germany.

[RBH]

fast forwarding to Golden expressing his annoyance that his campaign got triaged by the DCCC to focus on other seats

I still don't even know what this means. Perpetual Republican rule? No chance.

Fascist

[The Biggest Win Ever Isn’t Big Enough]

Today is the day that Democrats truly became in disarray. Roll out the headlines.

[Wisconsin+17]

Hundreds of police officers protected the democratic process against thousands who tried to use violence to upend it. Judges and state election officials upheld our election laws. Members of Congress, including leaders from both parties, certified the election results.

I’m sorry?? He’s using this as justification for having a kick-your-feet-up-and-let-it-happen attitude about Trump heading back to the White House? There has never been an election before where we’ve needed to point out that the courts and people responsible for certification did their jobs. I feel like I’m going insane.

Memories are short. 2000 election and 2016 come to mind.

I think this has been a big problem with the left in general, both establishment left (Congressional leadership, Hillary, Biden, etc.) and far left. Listening to anything they say, it's just pure dread and hopelessness. That might be partially a result of the Obama hope & change scam, but it doesn't even feel like the Democrats are offering much other than a four-year delay of destruction.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

He shouldn't be our nominee for S having said this.

[junior chįmp]

Lol what an opposition party.

"Vote Dem to save Democracy but if Trump wins...thats okay too."

How long before Golden gets pressured into toeing the "Vote for Biden (?)/fill in the blank Democrat to save democracy" party line?
