Platner was a flawed candidate from day 1. Too much baggage. He needs to go asap.

sooner better than later, time is an important axis here

Yeah, sorry, platner has too much baggage for my support. Obviously it would be great to see Susan collins in a retirement home, but not if gives us a predator with better economic policies.

Well, as the de facto leader of the new Democratic Party, that about nails Platner's coffin shut. Isn't there some other puritan, perfect, unscathed-by-being-human, highly charismatic person to take his place? If Eric Swalwell and Graham Platner have taught us anything, they strike near success. 🚬😎

Ответ для CatVanDooh

So people who aren’t rapists are perfect?

Biblical Republicans have different moral standards when it comes to rape, pedophilia, and Trump...

While Republicans elect an adjudicated rapist as president.

As a progressive i will help elect collins. Fuc these people.

I Stand with Platner Innocent until proven guilty I will not abandon someone who's policy proposals i agree with over unsubstantiated allegations

Ответ для bumpa1

did you read the story? she shared the story contemporaneously with friends, a boyfriend, even her therapist. it's pretty well documented. with everything else that's come out about him - he's done. it's a shame you can't see that.

Ответ для bumpa1

Seriously??

Ответ для bumpa1

At this point, Platner is damaging the policy proposals he claims to favor.

Ответ для bumpa1

Do you believe Trump colluded with Russia? Do you believe Trump accepts money (directly or through intermediaries) for pardons? Do you believe OJ Simpson killed his wife? Do you believe Clarence Thomas' decisions are corruptly influenced by his rich friends? My answer is "Yes" to all.

Ответ для bumpa1

What constitutes substantiation to you?

IMO we need the policies but not the person.

We just lost Maine. Susan Collins for another 6 years. This last minute 💩 seems so much like the last minute Kamala Harris (who I voted for) 💩. I want to be wrong , but everything tells me I’m not.

Ответ для luv4calif

It does feel that way because she waited this long to come forth? Again, we blame the woman. When do we stop blaming women?

Ответ для luv4calif

We’ve hated Platner long ago. But they had him in their hearts and wouldn’t listen to anything. This is on all his supporters not the people who have been speaking against him all along v

Ответ для luv4calif

I am hopeful

Huge HUGE difference between Dems & GOP - you're DONE if you do that shit as a dem. Gop could care less

Ответ для SteveH

🤣🤣🤣

Well i think Platner should let Mainers decide

Ответ для Lisa

Between other candidates.

this simple demand restore our republic

Steve Hart on Mamdani: he is showing a trumpian lack of self-control beyond his elected responsibilities opining on issues outside New York. Let Maine voters handle their responsibilities.

A

Mamdani W as usual

There's a point where it doesn't matter how much you say you've changed. When I hear that you definitely changed 10 years ago but had to change again 8 years ago and then 5 years ago, you know there's more to come If the training wheels are still on, no. Thank you.

I wouldn’t expect it. The family (mommy) tossed in 1/2 mil towards the campaign and who knows how much certain “star” party donors threw in expecting a return on their money. They’re gonna want to do this “hard way” and we will oblige them

Women would agree.

Wrong, Collins must be defeated at any cost. Platner denies it, he couldn’t be any worse than Fetterman

Ответ для Jim Wooton

The guy who boasted about how much he loved killing people, to the point that he got kicked out of the Marines for having a Nazi tattoo and went back as a Blackwater merc, who assaulted at least two women, couldn't possibly be worse than Fetterman? That's not a risk I'd like to take.

It's past time for Ken Paxton to drop out, yet he's still running.

The Nazi tattoo reveal would've been the best timing

There's not a woman on this Earth who would sleep next to her passed out rapist when she could have slept on the couch. I call BS. I smell money.

Al Frankening is a tactic that is going swimmingly well for the fascist far right.

No brainer...Platner is definitely a scumbag

Platner needs drop out. Deva Vue 2024. Way to go Maine. An easy flip. Now....? Good luck.

I understood supporting platner as long as he hadn't done anything actually illegal. Rape is illegal. He needs to drop out. Did he think no one was going to find out about this???

We never learn. We will find out this was ratfucking after we give up the Senate.

Oh well if Mamdani says drop out I guess it's done now. Gtfo

What was it about a nazi tattoo that people didn't understand?

Ответ для Christian Petersen

It's not a Nazi tattoo You're being very dishonest

Ответ для Christian Petersen

Are we going to do Swift too?

Platner HAS to go. If he doesn’t step out, SHOVE him out. There’s no room for rapists in the one pseudo-normal party in the USA

Ответ для LesnielBC 🇨🇦🇩🇰

Evidence or just accusations? This is a very serious thing and should be treated as so

Nobody should mourn the loss of Platner. Voters seem to like that working class vibe, but let’s not forget John Fetterman. Not like that went well.

Why didn't anyone tell TRUMP to drop out of the race in 2024 after he was found guilty IN A COURT OF LAW ...of RAPE. But Republicans supported his lying ass all the way.

Okay, just keep having good takes.

I definitely want Mamdani to at least run for the Senate when an opportunity opens up for NY. I think he would win ...

I think the time for him to drop off was months ago, at least well before the primary vote

the candor is so refreshing, its almost unbelivable

And get some help with his tendency to sexually assault/rape women.

Flex!

Ouch, true dat, I wonder why he is taking his sweet time and trying to leverage his departure when he has no leverage

The one thing this Platner thing has taught me is Democrats are all about "listen to the women" when its a Republican, but they tell them to "lie back and think of the party" if it's a Democrat.

Ответ для E.L. Huard

I mean Jesus, how MANY red flags does Platner have before this? Nazi tattoo, Reddit posts, sexting, he's on a pedo app...

Ответ для E.L. Huard

You cannot run a Trump-shaped candidate in a coalition that still claims to care about harm, women, fascist symbolism, and accountability. The contradictions will eat him alive.

Platner should be replaced with David Costello! He came in second in the dem primary in Maine.

I always thought Platner was sketchy. He wouldn’t remove the Nazi tattoo. Other things crept up about his past. We so soon forgot about the Fettermans that ran and won. This accusation of rape was credible. 99.99% of women don’t lie about sexual assault,RAPE.

Ответ для Ecoprairiepainter

Plus he attacked the rape against women in the military documentary that Allison Gill was in and said they were r-words and liars and careless drunks that regretted one night stands

Ответ для Ecoprairiepainter

Fetterman appears to be hiding an old tattoo of his own 🤨 that is now blacked out with a big square black tattoo.

Just to review--the US president has multiple allegations of rape and pedophilia against him by women who were under oath in depositions to law enforcement, but he can still be president and not even investigated? Got it. Totally makes sense.

Ответ для ADaveSaysWhat

He should step down too.

Ответ для ADaveSaysWhat

What is the argument you’re making here Dave

Ответ для ADaveSaysWhat

Unless you think there's such a thing as a good rapist that naturally balances out bad rapists, Trump being a rapist has nothing to do with Platner being a rapist.

Ответ для ADaveSaysWhat

And he's destroying this country so no thank you to those kinds of people. I want leaders who are intelligent compassionate and kind not full of hate, anger and greed.

Begrudgingly, me too. Ugh this sucks ass. Thanks a lot @grahamformaine.bsky.social Hope you get your shit together and for god's sake get the professional help you clearly need. What a mess.

Ответ для Hold My Beer ❌👑🐸🇲🇽🇨🇦

He needs to move far away & turn himself inside out or some very angry Mainers are gonna kick his ass

The fact Maine can't be recalled run a second Primary for scandals like this is crazy beyond belief Platner has until the 13th to resign Vote @andrealaflamme.bsky.social ! Every state needs to be able to hold Snap elections, recall elections, and mandatory new primaries

Bro, wtf? Did you read the article? Its not a campaign. The fuck is this shit?

And I believe trump should resign today, be arrested for rape, put in prison.

I met Platner early on and I was impressed but I was out at Nazi tattoo, and everything since has just added to my conviction that's he's the wrong person for the job. Holding my nose and voting for an asshole is what I criticize Trump "yeah but..." voters for doing. Fuck Platner.

Ответ для maineac

The woman will get blamed for waiting this long to come forward. But it’s Platner that is the liar and the cheat. He cheated us out of a seat!

Ответ для maineac

Platner apologized, said he learned from mistakes decades old & the people of Maine did vote for him. There is no longer any doubt & he needs to go.

Ответ для maineac

Platner's ex-girlfriend is a Republican pundit or strategist. This guy is a Republican. Dems need to vet their people better.

Ответ для maineac

He just thought it was a cool skull! He had never even heard of a Totenkopf! Granted in 2023 he replied to a Reddit comment on a post showing an SS officer asking "How you could tell he's SS?" with something like "The totenkopf on his hat is a giveaway" but what's that have to do with anything?

Ответ для maineac

He did not have a Nazi tattoo, he had a Jolly Roger It's funny that the only thing that is proven to be true, that he was in Blackwater, is not the problem here That's because the Dems and the GOP are full of war criminals

Ответ для maineac

Fair enough, but consistency is important. You live in a country built on rape and fascism, our police and military are full of fascists and rapists, and we support a fascistic rape culture ultra ethnonationalist state. The DNC and Liberals more broadly could care less about rape and fascism.

From Michigan: It’s up to the voters in the state of Maine! They are the ones who should decide if Platner stays or goes! Mamdani (and everyone else) should stay in hus own lane and do what’s best for his own constituents.

Ответ для mrslmb-1257

Well no, he'd be a senator. We do have a vested interest in him, and even if we didn't, fuck all Nazis, even the ones who can't hurt me.

This is exactly where I want ZM; at the head of the table leading the call on candidates, and who should run, and who needs to get the fuck out (particularly NAZIS).

I was all in favor of him for a while, and then the first time I saw him roll up his sleeves on a post I knew he was not the person for the job. 🫪

Why is this the “best” we can put forth for democratic nominees?

It's not that I don't believe the woman, but where's proof. We should, however, leave the suspected ones to MAGA.

Since we are on the subject , maybe Kavanagh , Clarence Thomas , Paxton and Trump should follow suit !

America, it's time for an ethics checklist for all politicians in order to be transparent. Whoever planted Platner should've vetted him loooooong time ago. 🤷🤦🇨🇦

Ответ для Hope ☄️ (NO DMS!)

How about just no rapists and nazi’s let’s just start there

Ответ для Hope ☄️ (NO DMS!)

The "No AIPAC" is antisemitic, so no. You don't call out ANY other pacs in this list, so including just that one is dogmatic antisemitism. There are many bigger, and worse, PACs that deserve to be called out (like the NRA maybe?) over a PAC that supports one of our strongest allies.

It's well past time. He should have been gone after the tattoo.

Yes. Policy matters as does character, one of the many differences between dems and rethugs.

Ответ для K. Moore 🦋📚🎼

Dems are treading in rough water if they keep jumping on whatever shiny person who can say a few good things. It's craaaaazy how they purity test most Dem progressives to death and then if you say "Free Palestine" enough they will forgive anything.

What a breath of fresh air. No tap-dancing, just a straight-up, simple declarative answer

Bernie will be the last supporter standing. Hard to admit you were wrong, isn’t it Bern?

It's past time. He should have dropped out when his totenkopf Nazi tattoo was made public

Replace him with a wooden post that just says “I vote to kill the filibuster” and I’m fine with it.

If Plantner raps a woman once he will do it again granted! get planter out of the Democrats race now

past time waaaaay past time democrats need to stop capitulating to bernie picks, his kingmaker break the party schtick needs to end

Actual leadership. It’s sad those named as party leadership didn’t vet Platner first.

I think it’s time to step back and take a moment. While the allegations are pretty bad, let’s see if there is more to the story.

This Maine voter felt from the start that there was something not right about him, starting with that tattoo. Sheena Bellows is my choice. She tried to get tRump off of the ballot.

I just don't understand these guys that have these terrible secrets. They don't say to themselves, well there's that tattoo, I may have said some crazy stuff on the Internet, and those few sexual assaults. I know, let me run for public office! Genius idea! C'mon WTF!?!

Trump doesn't even need to disrupt the midterm elections in November. The Democrats are destroying themselves once again. #masochism

1st time I disagree with him.

Nice way of saying, fuckin' democrats, i want to slap you for not paying for a 20K background check

Im not saying Platner is innocent, he prob is an awful guy but isn't it funny when a sexual assault allegation against a Dem, Rapepublicans say "its 100% believable" but when its an allegation against Trump or a Rapepublican, its "fake news"

There is accountability for are actions in life it’s sad sometimes but it’s time to move on for the better good. Own it and move on .

Exactly Right & no you are NOT GOING TO PICK YOUR OWN REPLACEMENT PERIOD ••• get that NOTION RIGHT OUT OF YOUR HEAD!

I don’t live in Maine but for someone to say it’s none of my business would be wrong. Congress is everyone’s business. For Platner to stay in the race without being pressured to drop out takes away any moral high ground Democrats have over the Epstein files and Trump’s crimes. Two words: Al Franken.

Публикация скрыта фильтром безопасности.

Agreed.

This guy is so great. He is smart to keep his focus in NY. There may come a time when he becomes officially a national player but he knows better than to over-extend his reach while he's still a new mayor trying to accomplish the job he was elected for. Respect.

I've been saying this since the whole nazi tattoo thing came up; anybody who took the ethos of empire and white supremacy as far as Platner did is super sus, and will *ALWAYS BE* super sus. That shit should have been the deal breaker. Everything that's come after has been unsurprising.

Ответ для Cubane is neat

Yes!!!! I was looking around like, ok so we're all moving on from the guy who "may or may not" have known he had a nazi tattoo, right? RIGHT????? 😭😡

Ответ для Cubane is neat

It's not a Nazi tattoo

Thank you.

Man. Damn it. Agreed. If we're compromise our core values, we are nothing. Lord knows we never want to stoop to the level of those scrubby MAGA pigs.

All the Democrats have to do is find someone who talks like Platner and Mamdani without being as exceptional as Mamdani or as sleazy as Platner. Why is it so hard for them?

Ответ для AJW 🇺🇸🚫🍊

Well, let’s just say that American politics doesn’t tend to attract Rainbows and Unicorns.

Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Chris Murphy & Sheldon Whitehouse all stood by a Nazi rapist for Senator. They knew Graham Platner was a disgusting man & was trying to push him on taxpayers continually. They're all trash! Platner, Sanders, Warren, Murphy & Whitehouse should go home & stay...smh.

Ответ для Alea Anjanette

Evidence of rape yet? Or just accusations?

Dear Mayor Mamdani ... I think the world of you. HOWEVER, I think you've chimed in where there was NO need for you to chime. Our Constitution states clearly a man is INNOCENT until proven guilty by a jury of his peers. So far all there is would be an allegation. Platner surely knows his own heart.🤔

Ответ для OldGuy75

Good thing its not a criminal case and instead determining if he should be allowed into The Senate.

Ответ для OldGuy75

Nobody is taking Platner to court. Rape is entirely different than any other crime, you literally face getting on a witness stand and talking about your genitals. In front of the world.

Ответ для OldGuy75

Keep that head in the sand...

Out.

Epstein and Trump committed horrendous crimes against women and children for decades. Many reported it and the only thing that happened was women were dubbed liars and became the bad guys. Violent crimes against women are just not taking seriously.

Ответ для Margaret Newtown

No they are not, including by plenty of Leftist/Progressive/Dem men and more than a few L/P/D women. Meanwhile, we're still not equal in the Constitution.

Make Mamdani go with Platner

Truth

Did he endorse him?

Ответ для Vett’s Travel

Good on him. Also what a great thread to find and block Bernie haters!

Did anyone bother to follow the $$$ trail? Did Democrats bother to sit down with both parties to discuss this as adults and therefore make an informed decision? I so much want to believe women but when you wait 5 years, after he has been made the party's nominee, I question your motive.

Replace Platner with Al Franken

Damn it he was born for this! Happy I voted for him!!

What is that jacket he's wearing?

Graham Platner should be a lesson for the Far Left DSA but they won't be smart enough to learn from it. He's basically the DSA version of Trump. He had a horrific past, supposedly did horrific things and yet his Cult stood by him, using Trumpian-style excuses for why they still support him

Ответ для beakstar

Well no, none of that is remotely true

Ответ для beakstar

Honest question, you know Platner wasn’t in the DSA, nor from what I could find, was endorsed by them? Maybe I am not understanding your post. My apologies if that is the case!

Ответ для beakstar

The DSA didn’t endorse him. The lesson: listen to the DSA.

Too little too late. Once it was discovered that he had a Nazi tattoo on his chest, people should have called for him to step aside.

A quality man.

Mamdani is so mature and measured. He is very very good. Reminds me of a young Obama.

You suck, Mamdami.

So I suppose the allegations against Platner are proven now.

Lord, I wish he could be president!

Ответ для Confusedalotlately

She came forward a month ago along with another woman, but people brushed them both off.

Platner should go, but on the way out, he should say something like "unlike the Republican party, I realize the severity of what has been said about me regarding sexual assault. No one should be in any government office with such accusations made".

Well the king has spoke

I'm honestly confused about this. When senior public servants decide to endorse someone, is there no due diligence? (I mean Dems, anyway.) Seems like many of Platner's issues would have come to light without a great deal of cloak and dagger work.

Ответ для Mr. Richard Lennox

A few Bernie Sanders acolytes who have gone into strategist roles refused to admit Platner was a bad decision, and they pushed it to where some people accepted him as inevitable. And now it’s all gone to shit like us lowly naysayers predicted.

No kidding. He should have never ran

It's weird that the DNC would voluntarily put up---by all appearances--- a Democratic candidate with a Conservative profile to run against a liberal GOP incumbent US senator. It's as if the DNC wants GOP Collins representing Maine in the US Senate and Platner was a foil to block real Democrats.

Ответ для Dustup224

They say it was local unions and groups who recruited him, but just look at Michigan and Slotkin - a Bush person.

What does “massage my glute” mean?

No brainer. We have a child rapist, crook as POTUS. We have employment standards for dishwashers. How fucking low is the bar for the highest offices in the land. If we removed the criminals from government, we’d have no one running the country. We’d probably be better off. We MUST do better.

Ответ для Cathy Johnson

Luckily he doesn't have to do that. You can ask the ppl of ME tho

Why?

Deflection of Dead Mitch phony rape dude

It's almost like the liberals were right about Platner. Crazy.

Mamdani is a Democratic Socialist - like ALL DSA Democrats, they will try to kill off any populist not under their banner, so one of their own can take over. Disgusting. I hope Platner stands his ground and stays in the race.

Mamdani, kingmaker?

Ответ для Un granito de arena.

There are no kings, or king makers, in this country. Mamdani is just doing what is morally correct, as anyone and everyone should.

Why?, where was she when all the other allegations came out, I just don't trust the right.

Tell Bernie. LOL.

Mamdani once again proving how good he is at this.

Note to the Democratic party in Maine: If it comes to this ... and you pick someone to replace Platner that does not stand for exactly what Platner ran on ... then you are part of the evil force that destroyed America. The American people will not forget this treason.

Do it before it’s too late to replace him on the ballot or don’t, but let’s not waffle on this @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

Absolute gift to the GOP that the vetting on that guy was crap. Can we please stop shooting ourselves in the foot?🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤬

Ответ для MJM

Let's see... now we blame women while we point trump out? Platner was the best gift for concerned Collins and the maga/gop congregation.... We are DECENT people, we deserve better candidates with no baggage and fighting for democracy and a better America!!!

It’s a real shame people didn’t listen to all the women from the beginning. The Dems would’ve been on much better footing. We need to get Susan ‘i have concerns’ Collins out of the senate.

Platner is done. Put a fork in him.

A guy who used to have nazi tatoos and is accused by several women of sexual assault. What should go wrong with a candidate like that? Its peak toxic maskulinity #platner

An honorable, moral reaction to the situation. It's also a losing-ass strategy. It is not a logical reaction. We KNOW that the enemy already has a pedo as president. We KNOW that sexual predation is NOT a blocker for MAGA. Looks like you'll have plenty of time to clutch those pearls after they win.

Ответ для Unavoter

Way to normalize it. Your comment is a logical fallacy. I'll let you figure out which one.

If he's as innocent as he claims to be, he should have taken care of this before running, or dropped out the instant the news broke and began legally defending himself. If he's not innocent, then he's just another asshole who messed up someone's life and stupid enough to think no one would know.

Damn…. He’s direct and diplomatic at the same time. That appeals to a lot of human beings

I didn't get a negative vibe from Planter but then I started looking at his press just recently. But here we are. Hopefully we can be marked safe from having to apologize for supporting a rapist with a Nazi tattoo today.

This is how Democrats handle perverts.

That boil should have been lanced a long time ago so another candidate with less baggage could have had a chance to build election momentum against an entrenched, well-connected Susan Collins.

Ответ для dmglampers

We all have baggage. But his is a trunk load. I want integrity in anyone I vote to represent me, especially in critical social and economic situations.

I mean, it was time when he revealed the Nazi tattoo, but whatever

We need a new viable candidate!

He's the Mayor of New York... for less than a year! WTF does ANYONE care what he thinks about national politics? This constant push to make him the face of the Party is embarrassing.... and liable to backfire.

Overdue.

2nd try. #BlueMaga.

I’m sure he got permission from Morris Katz to say this. bsky.app/profile/maud...

Maudi63

Oh please! Fetterman’s campaign persona was created by the same person as Platner’s, Morris Katz. Fake ‘working class’ personas. 👇 Katz should stick to mayoral candidates. He’s obviously too young and inexperienced to handle federal campaigns. archive.ph/2026.01.27-0...

Geez! What a mess! 🤦🏽‍♀️ Well, does the next person even stand a snowball’s chance of beating Collins? People of Maine, you have GOT to vote her out! Don’t get so caught up you lose sight of that necessity!

I was one of the 1st ones to bring up the topic of his history. I understand if he's the candidate that can beat Collins then a bitter pill has to be swallowed. Dems, as a whole, have got to get together & decide are you going to get rid of the #Republicans or are you going to stay the course?

As much as I respect and like the Mayor of New York City he doesn't live in Maine. They have to make their own choice. They cannot be swayed by people outside the state of Maine. You present facts to people and you expect them to have the intelligence to act on them correctly.

Ответ для Louise

Agreed

They saw a Nazi tattoo and decided that wasn't enough to immediately disqualify him Many of them think even him raping that woman shouldn't disqualify him I'm not sure that presenting the facts and relying on their intelligence is a good strategy

Ответ для Louise

Well here are the facts. He's a rapist. Rapists shouldn't be put into power.

Ответ для Louise

Your #AZDems tag in your bio suggests you're not in Maine either, but you don't seem to have a problem giving your opinion on Platner. Which also seems, based on searching, to be the same as Mamdani's. So I'm not sure why it's not okay for him to agree with you.

Ответ для Louise

I believe most of the folks who voted for Platner were swayed by Bernie.

The State of Maine's decision impacts the entire country. We already have a Democratic Senator fucking thinds up. Don't need another one. Especially a sexual assaulter.

Well, Platner himself is being influenced by plenty of people outside of Maine. Also, a Susan Collins win would be disastrous for the country.

Ответ для Louise

Lower your expectations.

If only the republicans had a fraction of the integrity this man has!

We can't condone a democrat based on these ongoing allegations anymore then we can accept trump. We cannot be hypocrites so he needs to step away.

The Democrats are quick to purge their ranks of anybody guilty of sexual misconduct (ex. Al Franken), but the GOP circles the wagons and protects their own. You see who is winning. Woke is great unless you are getting your ass kicked up and down the field.

Ответ для miner44

Al Franken was nothing like this guy though.

Someone needs to tell Platner that he didn't build a movement, he's a byproduct of a movement.

I love they made him the poster boy for democratic socialism Very good job, America

So why is the President still in office? He wasn’t just accused but found liable for rape and he has the nuclear codes!!!

Ответ для GriefKnowledge

Because the GOP doesn’t care about any of that.

I dont trust anyone that embraces extreme views overnight, like many of the newly self-proclaimed lefties/DSA supporters and certainly not the Platner types- essentially a Bernie bro 2.0 flipping from far right to left in few years, if not months.

Ответ для J.C.

I agree with the flipping from Right to Left overnight part, but Democratic Socialism is hardly an extreme view.

Pathetic. I actually thought Momdani would be a real leader for the pathetic, conservative democrat party. As the great orange Nazi says, “sad”. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Why is Mamdani injecting himself into the Maine race? NY is a ways from Maine.

Ответ для RM Lewellen

probably because a reporter asked him.

Ответ для RM Lewellen

Because Mamdani has become the leader (or at least one of the leaders) of the political opposition movement in America. People trust his opinion way more than they trust the democratic establishment leaders.

Ответ для RM Lewellen

If you can't see that this is a moral question and not a political one then you are lost

Ответ для RM Lewellen

He's not injecting himself. He was asked a question specifically about it. Did you not watch the clip?

Ответ для RM Lewellen

You were completely wrong about Platner, so you should keep out of it.

I'm tired of these asshat Fauxgressives trying to Bern down the tent with the rest of us still inside of it.

So we are willing to lose the Senate bc of a story that has no evidence behind it. We’ve been here before and regretted it. We will again. I’m starting to think they are all in on the corruption. I see no evidence to make me believe the Democrats are not taking money from the wealthy also. Vote!

Maybe they should have vetted their candidate more before running him? Just a thought

Ответ для MaxwellSmart25

Yeah weve been here before. You motherfuckers always pretend not to see things until it's too late. Learn from the past dumbass

Ответ для MaxwellSmart25

We are DECENT people!!! We CANNOT blame women when we are pointing trump out... Right?

Ответ для MaxwellSmart25

Will you be attending my outdoor grilling event applauding the defeat of citizens united and the end of the filibuster when we lose the Senate.

Ответ для MaxwellSmart25

You are wrong to say there is no evidence he did something inappropriate. Do not get into blaming woman. Let Platner handle this and he will come out the other side and beat Collins. But do it the right way.

Ответ для MaxwellSmart25

I’m still voting or him till he’s prosecuted, otherwise it’s a grift to keep Collins in power so she can keep voting in favor of the Parasite Class

Ответ для MaxwellSmart25

The girl had pretty good proof

If Platner was running as MAGA, he would win.

Ответ для mwbourb

Yeah he would. Because the MAGA don’t care a rodent’s anus about any of that.

Because NYC bothers about Maine for which reason? Whilst I agree I don’t need Mamdani‘s opinion on everything which doesn’t have anything to do with him. Isn’t there a skyscraper emergency somewhere he can talk about?

Free Speech!

I thought he should have left the race when he called his wife a liar. It hurts that a person whose heartening words are in such deep conflict with his actions.

So sad. I could overlook old, regretted tattoos and statements, but this is too far. This is an action that requires more than just an apology. Very sad. I heard a good comment yesterday. He had a good message, but wasn't a good messenger. Maine needs to find a good messenger.

I said this would happen. I like his politics but his life is a hot mess.

Dude has a Nazi tat and no democrats endorsing him thought to have him vetted before he became their poster boy for Maine. Did they learn nothing from the GOP blindly endorsing Georgie Santos?

so The One has spoken. this should do it.

I dare you to find anyone other than Fetterman or a Republican who says keep going. 🙄

Ответ для BC Papa (he/him) 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Fetterman tore him to shreds yesterday.

Ответ для BC Papa (he/him) 🇨🇦🇺🇸

There are still Leftists who think it's no big deal and he should continue, that he's a rapist bc PTSD, and that he's "innocent until proven guilty." All shit takes, btw.

Ответ для BC Papa (he/him) 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Fetterman has hated Platner for months lmaoooo

Ответ для BC Papa (he/him) 🇨🇦🇺🇸

go over to threads. it is shocking the discourse from his white male following. non stop rape apology

Ответ для BC Papa (he/him) 🇨🇦🇺🇸

…and? I don’t understand what your point is. No one is claiming that any prominent politicians are saying that he should keep going. Plenty of randos are saying it. This is just a video of Mamdani also saying he should drop out.

Ответ для BC Papa (he/him) 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Plenty of Mainers on social media including here who are still insisting this is a smear campaign.

Ответ для BC Papa (he/him) 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Nothing dino Fetterman says matters. He’s trash.

Ответ для BC Papa (he/him) 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Bernie

Ответ для BC Papa (he/him) 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Stephen King actually came out in favor of platner staying in the race. SMH

Agreed. Regardless of what went on that night, the damage is done. I feel for his wife, and for his team.

Absolutely time!

“Long past time”

P

Ther problem being then Susan Collins wins since wqe have no other Democratic candidate! She is a traitor who voted for Brett Kavanuagh, a known sex offender, to join SCOTUS and helped kill women's health care by killing Roe v Wade! No one wants her! Platner HAS BEEN FRAMED BY MAGATS!!

Ответ для P. Astarte

Don't forget Paxton and the Thomas allegations! I'd vote for Platner anyway. Better than Collins winning!

D

Yup.

And again all these people who say drop out to Planter. Who is there pick for Maine’s Senator, that’s going to win this state election? They didn’t have a fucken clue! Don’t get any freed back from Establishment Democrats, they fuck it up all the time. Vote those slime ball politicians out of office

Republican smear campaign. Works every time.

However, both campaigns utilized the media strategy of Morris Katz, a strategist with Fight Agency, who served as a media consultant for Mamdani and a key adviser for Platner. ———-I just saw this, I want full disclosure Zohran!

Ответ для RandyWOKE-Pride Radical Left Scum

Yeah I posted about this awhile back. There was a suck-up profile in which he popped off about how he was to going to change the game etc.

And WHAT DEM will then be on the ballot?! Damn, with Dems killing their own, HOW WILL WE FLIP MAINE?

Ответ для Naughty Lefty

@andrealaflamme.bsky.social is the better option, and was the better option in the primary

Hear, hear! His campaign is mortally wounded now. Kill it, bury it and move on.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is a *concerned" senator like Collins, who's reportedly on the take, a better choice than an unsubstantiated accusation? I don't know what the answers are. But Democrats seem to dump their candidates quickly & republicans support their shameless law-breakers w/o question.

If anything it seems like it makes him more qualified to be a slimy scumbag politician. I feel like the Dem party would actually love this because it means he's both a criminal and susceptible to extortion.
