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.

    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.
