Maine Rep. Jared Golden, the only Democrat in the House to vote for the Republican-led government funding bill, drew a primary challenger Monday who accused him of consistently siding with the GOP over his own party.
State Auditor Matthew Dunlap’s bid sets the stage for a high-profile showdown in a district Democrats will likely need to hold to regain control of the US House. Golden represents one of the country’s most competitive districts, winning his 2024 race by less than a percentage point while Donald Trump carried it by roughly 10 points.
Defending the vote in a statement, Golden said that the shutdown “is the result of hardball politics driven by the demands far-left groups are making for Democratic Party leaders to put on a show of their opposition to President Trump.”
Far left far left far left blah fucking blah fucking blah I’m so fucking sick of hearing about this phantom far left party… We don’t fucking have a far left anything. I’d be glad to have a far left party but for fucks sake these people love fascism so much that anything left of center-right is “far left.”
JFC I’m so sick of this country
Seriously, give me some of those far-left candidates so I can have someone to vote for who represents my interests.
Listen, we got the word “rad” out of mocking the establishment once, we can do it again.
God damn right Im radical, bro 😎
The US doesn’t even have a moderate left party, especially when compared with the rest of the world.
Even Bernie would be at best mildly center-left in most western democracies.
