You may have heard the Men from Maine parody on WROR or seen some YouTube shorts. Self-deprecation can be hilarious, and white men are allowed, but Maine Democrats could probably do their own version. Democrat men from Maine. We’ve got the repeated accusations of poor behavior by Graham Platner, the systemic effort to cover it up, and a recent revelation tied to finding someone to run in his place.
Platner wants a say, but the Maine Democrat Party isn’t having any of that. But who do they choose, and maybe it isn’t going to be Janet Mills?
“In our discussions we have received troubling information about not only [former president of the Maine Senate, Troy] Jackson’s behavior, but the behavior of many prominent Maine Democrats toward women more broadly,” it continued, revealing that Jackson allegedly struck a female colleague with a bottle. “Both as a result of the credibility of the sources and in the interest of not seeing our movement make the same mistake twice, we are choosing to share some of this now.”
Jackson had a disagreement with a woman and struck her with a bottle. Lots of witnesses, but that wasn’t what caught my eye. Progressive Victory is probably a DSA front, and, according to the pull quote above, they express concern about the behavior of “many prominent Maine Democrats toward women more broadly.”
Toward women more broadly or just Democrat women more broadly? The latter, I suspect, and I’m not condoning the behavior, is a Dem on Dem violence problem we’ve been aware of for some time that the party hides or ignores (just like it tried to do with a long list of abusers going back to Clinton). Dem women hide it to protect dem men for political reasons. Dem women who speak out get pilloried, doxxed, and bullied, so ask yourself this question.
If Democrat men more broadly have a habit of abusing women casually, sexually, and physically, especially as they accumulate political power, what happens to women if the desired one-party left-wing state is achieved? Where there is no threat of damage to their political career if they rape a woman, slap her, or otherwise abuse her?
When no one needs to play that game anymore, who stands up to fight for or protect Democrat women from Democrat men? Not the media, not Democrat men, not even Democrat women?
It might explain why Democrats so easily dismiss or look the other way at predators who use trans ideology politics to gain access to vulnerable women. It’s just part of their culture.
But why would anyone want that for any woman, even angry with liberal women (AWFLs)?
Thanks, Progressive Victory. Just another reason to not vote for any democrat ever.
“In our discussions, we have received troubling information about not only [former president of the Maine Senate, Troy] Jackson’s behavior, but the behavior of many prominent Maine Democrats toward women more broadly.”
It’s not just Maine Democrat men, and it wouldn’t just be Democrat women, would it? And they will still look the other way for as long as they can, and only until it creates a potential risk to their political power.
Nice party you got there. Be a shame if it took a domestic beating at the polls in November (and every election after that).
