      >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.

      Primary every turncoat. Name them. Shame them. Vote them out.

      Also Marie Perez of Washington state had planned to vote,for it as well and did not because she was late. But she was clear,she supported it and does not support democrats in the shut down.

      Thank god Dems are finally getting hip to these frauds. We don’t need anymore enablers of Trump and the GOP, this is not the time for status quo bullshit, what’s going on isn’t normal and I’m sick of seeing people always capitulate to the GOP.

      I’m still mad at Obama for extending the Bush tax cuts and getting nothing in return.

      >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.”

      It’s so far-left to not want to take away healthcare from needy American citizens. Amirite?

      Fuck this guy. Primary this cowardly shitbag. Now is most certainly not time for centrism. There is no center when the fascists are trying to lock up control of the government. You’re either anti-fascist or you’re fascist. This guy is not anti-fascist, so….

      Jared Golden is a moron and always has been. One of the most disingenuous politicians of our time which is a pretty amazing feat given the competition.

      I can agree with not voting along party lines because I believe it should be country (people) first and not party first but reading how he has voted in the past including siding with Republicans on making it required to have proof of citizenship to vote and I think he should be ran against.

      I don’t trust any Democrat that uses the „far-left“ language the GOP uses.

      In this specific situation, okay.

      But America survived for so long because politicians put self interest before party – which, ironically, stopped the sort of cult like politics we have now.

      If no one dares break rank, then how are any deals to be done? Who is challenging the others?

      He is acting against *my* interests, and I curse him for that. But he is not my representative.

      A cursory look at his district suggests he is indeed representing *his* voters – it leans red by a fair margin

      No, I fear this is actually good democracy – rep seems to be breaking with his party to represent his district’s voters, however misguided

      Either these comments aren’t genuine or reddit Progressives are absolutely dogshit at politics.

      Every candidate should be primaried every election every time.

      Our democracy must continue to be competitive and politicians cannot feel comfortable or safe

      DINO as the not-kids say. The guy talks like MAGA in the article. Primary is good. We have enough of a problem with Schumer and Jeffries milquetoast asses already. The last thing we need is another Sinema.

      He’s also trying to pull the Manchin „my district’s too red for anyone else“ but if you vote along with them anyway you’re defeating the purpose of being an opposing politician to begin with.

      Can someone answer the question… what the fuck is it with Maine? First returning Suzy “pearl clutcher” to the Senate, now this dude? He’s not an indy, which one might be able to understand if he ran as one, but he ran as a Dem? WTF Maine? Do better.

      Good. Actions have consequences. Vote your constituents, vote your party. This is neither of those.
