Jon Stewart torched the DNC and Democratic leadership as "lost" after learning from a candidate with a massive lead that he's heard zilch from the party.
I view Platner as a sort of political Pascal’s wager. Let’s say there’s a 10% chance of him being a secret Nazi or the next Fetterman. Hell, let’s say it’s 50%. The alternative was Mills, a centrist hand-picked by fascist collaborator Chuck Schumer, and Collins, a member of fhe fascist party. The loss of electing a secret fascist over a fascist collaborator or different fascist is minimal, while the gain of electing a genuine progressive is massive. You might as well make the bet that he’s genuine.
Thank you for explaining this simple conundrum. I am so relieved to have mills gone, Platner should beat collins without much fuss. Plenty of time to worry about the future. Idk whats the point of gaming out a state senators potential actions. this whole thread is making me wonder what everyone thinks about their own elections.
Well, don’t count Collins out yet. She’s down in the polls, but she’s bounced back from that before. Still, Platner is much better positioned to beat her than Mills ever was, and his campaign has already weathered a huge storm.
What state are you in? It’s funny to have all you talking about our election… how are your elections going? You about to roll another 80 year old establishment contender in for their 30th term?
yes, i agree that he is risky and i understand that you probably need to take that risk since the alternative is even worse. but still i dont want to absolve him just because of that. he has a skull tattoo and he is lying about not knowing about the meaning. to me that is unaccetable and he needs to be replaced as soon as possible.
No you’ve got this backwards, Maine isn’t electing a representative to be absolved by the corrupted DNC. This aint church you silly individual. We’re sending him there to crush the DNC and send out a message to other states that you too can take back the democratic seat and don’t have to let the DNC assign you a leader. FUCK
This guy seems ok now, but for all I know he could end up like Fetterman. He is risky, but if he is what he says he is now, it could be ok.

Don’t worry my brother I have zero faith in my constituents or my democratic process.
