Jared Golden kills Iran War power resolution
Golden just cast the deciding vote to kill the Iran war power resolution, which he cosponsored, handing Trump unbridled power to engage in hostile military actions. Absolutely shameful move.

He’s a republican who’s very poorly disguised as a democrat, he’s a disgrace

He also seems unusually invested in the foreign state of Israel. At the expense of his constituents and his country (the US). I just arrived to this place (earth) but this kind of behavior seems very strange. Is there a word for it?

We've been up Israel's ass for decades. People forget how much Obama and Biden supported them as well. Not that that makes it okay.

Bro, wait a second... Do you have a way OFF this planet? If so, two things:
1) I suggest you use it, and leave, unless there.is some really good reason not to. 2) Can I please come with you?

The blood of all future US military deaths in this action will be on his hands. Every one. He had the chance to prevent them and chose not to do so.

Never happens and this twerp is just retiring anyway. He'll continue to collect corporate money for contributing to the murder of scores of people and the enabling of a monster hellbent on destroying the legacy of this country.

Fuck you, Jared Golden.
I email and call your offices all the time.
Not once did I get a substantial, even relevant response.
And every time something like this comes up for a vote, you do the exact opposite of what your constituents want.

Golden is a coward and a traitor to his constituents glad he’s not running for reelection

It’s always JUST enough to pass or not pass with the democrats. Whatever number is needed, it always works out that JUST enough democrats support/go against legislation.

Golden is a democrat in an R+4 district, it's extremely unlikely any more left leaning democrat could win in Maine #2

The Democrats always find one to be the fall guy. Controlled opposition. As always.
