Democrats- “we need to elect a Nazi woman beater to defend democracy”

Collins sucks but she’s the best you can ask for out of Maine

The Southern coast of Maine is beautiful in the summer.

I thought being on the AT in the fall would be great ... leafs changing and all.

Snow and ice.

And the prehistoric mosquitoes and big black deer flies could not gaf about the snow. They were swarming in the snow. It didn't phase them.

world class seafood


When I went to Portland, their oysters were from Louisiana at the time.

I was quite surprised.

There was also quite a few Somali’s.

However, it was quite beautiful.

It's absolutely beautiful. It has constitutional carry, legal marijuana, it's the most densely forested state in the country, billboards are illegal, world class seafood, more coastline than California, it's the first state to see the sunrise and the only state to border only one other state, produces 99% of the blueberries in North America, and has the highest Moose to resident ratio in the lower 48.


I mean, I don’t think Maine is a shithole but let’s not go overboard. It’s pretty middling as far as states go IMO

Maine is a very poor state outside of the coast where the wealthy gather in the summer.

Drove down the rural center of the state after a camping trip to Moosehead Lake some years ago. Never saw so many signs of poverty. Cars on blocks, houses in decay, lawns overgrown and such went on for miles. Then things started looking up for a while and at the center of the improvement was a very old and decrepit looking canning factory that was still in business.

Maine is almost 92% white.

Almost perfect timing then. Scrooster is correct.

What? It’s a beautiful state


Yeah, I was wondering about that comment. I have never been there, so I don’t know for sure. But everything I have heard about it makes it high on my list of places to visit.

But everyone is entitled to their opinion.

With Collin’s maybe you get 75% of what you want as opposed to another Dem where you get 0%.

Not to mention possibly control of the senate, which is way more important than how one senator votes.

She is our best hope in a deep blue state.


In and around Portland, ME is crazy. Blue. The hotel I stayed in had a “church” across the street that had a BLM banner, a pride flag, and a picture of the dike looking “pastor”.

But you get in the rural areas outside the cities ta a different story.

That state is a cult and a lost cause. Susan is about the best you can hope for sadly.

She’s a moderate Dem masquerading as an R, aka RINO.

RINOs are an especially evil brand of Democrat because they provide false hope of conservatism.

She's a necessary evil.

That's life in Maine.

That's politics.

The GOP cannot afford to lose that seat.

It's not. 34% Dem, 30% Republican, and 36% Independent. However, I'm sure many of the Independents are "Bernie Sanders Independents."

See how chopped up this is?



That's 3,478 miles of coastline.

California has 3,427 miles of coastline.
