Big Suze was such a class act that she didn’t even bother to deliver a concession speech. The second she lost, she fuckity-byed it out of there.
BANGOR, Maine — Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) greeted supporters at her election party throughout the night but was a no-show after losing her bid for a sixth term.
Her campaign played Semisonic’s “Closing Time” and began packing up the room without any concession speech from Collins.
Watching some of those exit interviews was just astonishing with the way people were content with Collins but just decided it was time for a change of pace.
I’m telling you. Maine is full of shy, embarrassed conservatives.
Within the scope of the recent PEW Research typology, they’re at the very least a mixture of Order and Opportunity Left and Tuned-Out Middle, the former who basically get caught up in the security and immigration bullshit Republicans sling.
It’s the older generation electing ghouls because it’s the “polite” thing to do or some stupid shit. It’s why Florida didn’t flip near as hard as everywhere else.
Can we let the hurricanes eat Florida yet or is that considered uncouth/ uncivilized/ a human rights violation. Cause personally I think Bugs Bunny had the right idea.
It won’t take a hurricane. There have been several major flooding events in the last few weeks just from high tides and heavy rain. Climate change is coming

Rural conservative driven by a burning desire not to let Massachusetts pull ahead in the liberal policy arms race.
I’m not sure I’d take all that at face value. If you are a voter that believes you are surrounded by hostile people of a different mind you’d play it off casually too.
Nobody knew what they were walking into at the polls yesterday, for all we knew ICE was going to be out in force (also why a lot of us voted early) and all these people had lives to go back to, with no expectation that it would be the landslide it was. In what is still Trump’s US, it’s entirely possible some of those exit interviewees kept it deliberately casual just so that no one would have anything to hang on them later.
