    You personally have NO role in an American election, any more than I have a role in a Canadian election.

    That’s never stopped you before. Your people are trying to manipulate one of our provinces into a separation referendum right now. It’s awfully rich of you to start complaining now about foreign interference given that’s been your country’s primary MO world wide for over 100 years. Stop sending advertising up here demanding our vacation dollars and selling your useless products if that’s your attitude. The governor of Maine seems very upset in their Canadian TV ads that we’re not visiting, and doing everything in her power to convince us to come back, maybe you should tell her to mind her own business before you start telling us to mind ours.

    I said that if Platner turns out to be another Fetterman, than Maine is a lost cause. He would, in fact, be worse than Collins because he’d be living proof there is no viable alternative. You’re getting a Republican either way, whether you vote D or R. We had both better hope that those warning signs are a tempest in a teapot, because if not then democracy is truly dead in that state. Hopefully that’s clear enough for your American reading comprehension. I didn’t change my position on Mamdani. I said his actions backed up his words. Did you look at any of his campaign ads? He didn’t have any legislation to show his sincerity, so he worked hard to demonstrate that he was committed to building the community, to listening to the concerns and needs of the people he was running to represent, and show that he was committed to following through on his promises, even the ones that were going to be a hard sell. You want to make sure people vote for Platner, up-sell his community engagement. Or don’t and keep telling everyone to piss off in every direction.

      That’s never stopped you before.

      It has always stopped me personally. I am speaking as a person of integrity to a person of none, as a non-AI individual representing myself as opposed to some soi-disant tool speaking for “the lives and safety of my own people,” lol. What are you, Sacagawea?

      It’s funny how the more I go back to what you actually wrote and what you demonstrably said (and I have screenshots too, lol) the angrier you get. Why is that? I didn’t write your comments for you. I just read them.

      maybe you should tell her to mind her own business before you start telling us to mind ours.

      Lol. No. I am telling YOU, personally, to stop hiding behind a proud country and people you do NOT speak for, to propound overt dishonesties to support the exact candidate you say you don’t want, in an election that you cannot and will not vote in, even as you alternate between telling me I that should or should not vote in my own.

      I am not my country, any more than I am fooled into thinking you are Canada – and much less what you clearly wanted in the beginning, which was for your reader to believe that you are an American voter.

      And here you are, rewriting and reworking your positions yet again. You shift and twist with the slightest wind. Why? Why should I take you seriously, or even take your feigned concern seriously, when the things you assert aren’t cohesive to start with nor even remain the same over four retellings?

      And tell me again: who’s shouting? If my “American reading comprehension” is so inadequate, why do you think personal insults and historical anger and rage at the people in DC will make it better?

      Or to put it another way, if I scream at you personally for burning down the White House during the War of 1812, does that validate or invalidate anything else I say?

      Of course it does not – but that is now what YOU are relying upon for authenticity. Lol.

      If I tell you to go scream at people in Ottowa (or even more uselessly at Chuckie the Third, lol) would that garner your respect? Be absolutely assured that you have garnered my own in exactly that fashion.

      For all my American reading comprehension, I had no problem spotting you as a poser and an angry liar who is now all kinds of upset that you got busted in your lies by someone that actually READ what you wrote. Take your Platner concern-trolling to someone who doesn’t actually read.
