Keep going, Graham. You are the best representation of Dems' views, and they need you even if they don't know it.

I’m not sure it would matter to the average Democrat voter

Honestly, he should run for the Dem nomination for POTUS. They don't realize it, but he represents all of their values

Rapist, racist, Nazi ideals, etc

If he doesn't drop out the Democrats will still vote for him in lockstep. It will just depend on whether or not they can cheat enough to overcome Collins.

They don't give a frick about the principles in play here. It's only about whether or not they feel like they can manufacture enough votes.

Did you see that to try to soften what he did, Politico invented a new term for breaking and entering?

he entered her rural Maine home uninvited one night in late 2021, deeply intoxicated, and forced himself on her while she repeatedly told him to stop.

If Platner stays in, Collins wins.

If Platner is removed, another Dem steps in and Collins loses.


Collins sucks but she's the best R you'll get from Maine and she delivers most of the time. If she loses, R's lose that vote 100% of the time.

Yeah we're all laughing, but what if this guy stays and WINS?

I, for one, will still be laughing.

Why drop out when most of the party got behind you despite being outed as a Nazi and multiple cases of infidelity in his new marriage and overall sexual misconduct already? This is just another small bump in the road

Doesn't guarantee she'll get it this time if they inject a fresh Dem for the home stretch. The point is, Platner needs to stay in. She'll win if that's the case.

What in anything that I said would lead you to think I'm trying to soften what he did? That's ridiculous.

The simple fact is that it's going to come down to whether or not they think they have enough time to find a suitable replacement that still gives them a shot of overtaking Collins. Actual principles do not factor into this. If he does not drop out it will be a simple matter of telling the Democrats to vote for him anyways and they will. They have no moral compass whatsoever.

Democrats ignoring the primary votes of their voters is becoming a regular rite of election season. #NoKings!
