On Platner. He has got things in his past which are bad. He is currently the subject of an all out political smear campaign. Both these things are true, and unless we can nominate another candidate that can beat Susan Collins, it does not matter.
We are in an existential war for the future of this country, and Senate numbers matter more than anything else. We have seen what happens, particularly to the Supreme Court when the GOP controls the Senate.
It's crucial to elect a Democrat in Maine.
Thing is, the primary hasn’t even been voted on yet. I think people should focus on that first. There are other people on the ballot. I was always pro Mills bc I never trusted Platner. I do not see him as an effective Senator. It’s a big job for a political neophyte, nothing like the House. I realize he will win the primary, and I’d vote for him over Collins. But I’m very disappointed that so many people ignored so many warning signs.
Is this actually realistic?
Is what realistic?
Mills getting the nomination. Thought she dropped out.
Her name is still on the ballot. She suspended her campaign due to lack of funds, but has recently reminded everyone she’s still on the ballot. As I said, Platner will win the nomination, but if it were me, I’d vote Mills in the primary and Platner in the general. There’s one other guy in the primary, but idk anything about him.
