She decided to run in December. The reason no one else ran is because they wanted the easier to get and more rewarding job of governor

Would you consider democratic primary voters in Maine to be democrats?

Usually these things end campaigns almost immediately so if it hasnt hurt him with democrats then why would indepdents be more woke?

Once again to say this you would have to not believe any head to head polling. Genuinely what can collins do to attack him? If she airs ads with the Tattoo then half her base will vote for him.

Polling shows this to be wrong

Idk how you can hypothesize that she is making double digit gains when the same pollster did a poll in December and had a double digit lead for Mills

Id also like the highlight that she is barely trying to campaign and many of the ideas her campaign has seem out of touch (who goes on Chris Cilizza?)

The republicans wouldnt dare do a full court press on Platner being a Nazi because that would make half their voter base vote for him.

His reddit account disproved this

So you dont have an answer to my question. Normally when these types of scandals happen they end the campaign on the spot but Platner hasnt lost any support in a primary election of democrats. You dont have a reason as to why maine democrats are sticking by him?

Cant believe ive found a pro ice democrat on bluesky. I dont know if you've been paying attention to immigration enforcement but him saying ice should be abolished is very relevant. Platner is going to be the nominee so yall should probably get over him if youre serious about stopping trump

Not watching it is fine but why comment on something you are admitting you refuse to learn about?

His tattoos are still common knowledge and that doesnt really answer my question. If democrats in their primary arent diseased from supporting someone who had a nazi tattoo then why would indepdents who are less likely to care.

He is the frontrunner for the democratic primary and has built a giant progressive grassroots campaign machine. At some point you should reflect on whether or not youre just missing what mainers are seeing.

If his scandals havent hurt him now then why will they hurt him in a general election where the vote base cares less about scandals?

But Platner has been pretty vocal about every progressive issue. If you can convince democrats to vote for you despite having had a nazi tattoo then either the maine democratic party is full of nazis (cmon man) or we see a truly great progressive candidate.

Platner has been supportive of wanting to raise the minimum wage and unlike fetterman he has always been anti israel. The other democrat in the race was constantly vetoing democratic legislation. If anyone in the race is a Fetterman its Mills.

The tattoo is already known. If it didnt hurt his campaign then then why would it hurt him in the future? She would never air his tattoo in an ad because it would cause half of the republicans to vote for Platner

So why are you still whining about the story if you agree with Andy that its bogus?

How am I the only crying when youre the one who is arguing about things they dont even believe. If you actually believed the story you would explain why Andy's arguments are wrong but you arent even trying to do that.

How is that a rebuttal? Andy explained why the story is bogus using basic math and you didnt highlight how his points are incorrect.

I dont see what point you are making. Especially since Platner is currently working overtime to get Trump a loss in the senate race.

She also has the 2nd highest vetos out of any maine governor despite her party having complete control of maine. If that isnt a fetterman metric the idk what is.

Which is not only not true but is a completely different point then what was being made.

Ok so whats your word? That hes a plant to make Susan Collins win. No Platner analysis on bluesky matches what is happening on the ground in my state.

So you didnt watch the podcast where he and the host agreed that ICE is out of control and them killing protesters is bad.

Just to clarify, you dont actually have a rebuttal to his point.

Had* a nazi tattoo. If your only rebuttal is to therozie that he will rugpull at the last moment then that seems way more schizo then observing that he is now a progressive and is clearly going to win. Try talking to Mainers about this race instead of people on bluesky.

Why are you helping Trump?

Im going to have to do better at proving that he isnt a republican plant than explaining how he is creating a massive left wing grassroots organization that is looking like it will unseat collins in november? Yall need to talk to some actual mainers about the race.
