Thank you for your insights. I'm way left of center, but I actually think electing Platner is not a good move. He's a liar and a creep. Susan Collins is mostly harmless, and she'll likely keel over and could be replaced by a Democrat, as the current Gov of Maine is a Democrat. Electing a guy like Platner is like leaving fresh deer meat out for bears-I won't go along with a jerk just because he says he's a Democrat. He's more interested in his crotch than his responsibilities. It makes Dems look like hypocrites.
You don’t sound way left of center. Do you even live in Maine? No one who does would say that Susan Collins is mostly harmless. Have you forgotten her most consequential vote to make liar and drunk Kavanaugh a Supreme Court Justice?
I wasn’t thrilled about Platner but despite the recent smearing, I’m full-throatedly voting for him. He’s the only one with the numbers who can beat Collins, and that’s the most important thing. She is a stooge of Trump and Mitch McConnell. There’s a woonderful piece on Substack by Daniel Barkhuff called “Platner and Me.” I urge you to read it.
I appreciate what point you are making, but I have been sexually assaulted, and have no tolerance for sneaky sexual behavior that can be shrugged off. Even in this circumstance. Remember Bill Clinton? Which would be worse, her being re-elected, or him getting caught doing something AFTER his election which the Repubs would throw millions at to discredit him and all Democrats. If a guy can't keep his pants zipped, Dem or not, I just wouldn't vote. I'm sorry Mainers have been put in this situation-and Platner KNEW about it all along...
Platner wants to tax the robber barons, he wants universal health care, he wants the corruption to stop, he wants the people to receive a productive living wage, he wants the pedophile who is currently destroying America to be voted out, he will not take AIPAC money and become a genocidal shrill he will fight for America, SS colins has not done a town hall in over 15 years she votes consistently with the pedophile and his gestapo killing Americans and destroying democracy, she only pretends to work for the people of Maine. Any candidate that fights the way Graham Platner does before he has even been elected, 80 odd town halls, in comparison to this pedophile nazi racist regime Graham is certified saint.
Ordinarily, I would agree 100%. I live in NE but not Maine. I won't choose one sexual pervert over another because he's less awful. HE put Mainers in this position. Many women will just not vote. Collins won't live forever, there's a Dem. Governor who will appoint a better Democrat sooner than you think. Even though you so desperately want to defeat Trump, as do I, this man could "act up" AFTER the election and cause an endless distraction which would end up hurting all Democrats.
This is poor logic and false equivalency. Platner has not been accused of sexual assault. It is not relevant here

I’m so sorry to hear of the sexual violence you endured. It makes sense that Platner is not a viable candidate for you. Peace.
They're threatened by Planter, and Ken Paxton's lawyer has endorsed Talarico, in Texas! It's time we make them all roll over dead!!! FUCK MAGA!
*Roll over and play dead!
Worried about Michigan…
Idiots love to measure the next election by what came before.
They’re all different.
