Feel like this may be similar to Biden dropping out and the Dems bringing in a candidate nobody cares for

Gonna be hard for them to find someone better than a Nazi rapist.

Nazi rapist beat all the other Democrats for the right to lose to Collins.

I feel like they will steal the seat no matter what. They just need a candidate that keep it close enough to plausibly snatch

Anyone with less baggage at this point is a net plus for them

She was going to beat Platner. Now Dems get a mulligan to handpick her opponent.

Remember, the Dims are saving democracy.

Good because this is too utopian.

Wouldn’t they want to keep Collin’s in? She does what she is told.

As much as she is a wild card in how she votes, the balance of power in the Senate very much rests on her seat for the midterms.

Really weird how the save democracy people keep ending up here with some clutch buzzer beater rape accusations. Must just be a coincidence.

No way it’s by design and a bunch of retarded fagots are marching around screaming about nazis and kings while affirming the very people doing what they pretend to oppose.

Oh well, once a retarded fagot always a retarded fagot. Hey VOR and tboy

Platner won 72%. There's going to be at least 10% of those voters who won't bother unless they do everything perfectly here on out and in Maine that probably guarantees a Collins win.

They really should've just let him lose so badly the DNC could use it against the DSA contingent in future primaries

It probably makes no difference.

Either bad or indifferent.

Doesn’t appear to be good because there won’t be a Dem outrage over this nor will any replacement candidate be as big a liability for them.

Bad.
Collins should have been relishing the opportunity to run against Platner.

That candidate is Collins. This has all been panem et circenses.

She's essentially a moderate Democrat and 30-year incumbent who has reliably sided with the Establishment every single time it really mattered. She's right where they want her, and will remain seated

their followers (and mail-in ballot machine) will blindly select D across the board so 40-45% is always guaranteed.

its like spotting the Ds 50 points in basketball and giving the Rs 20 minutes to play.
