In a free and fair Democratic primary, the voters CHOSE PLATNER over your candidate, Janet Mills.
You went all in to destroy Platner and smear him, and voila, it has negatively impacted him, but I still feel there is enough time for him to get it done. Mainers will decide that.
Even now, you are consistently on the opposite side of what Democratic voters actually want the party to do, from ending aid to Israel, taxing billionaires, ending AI data centers, abolishing ICE, and on and on.
Instead, you spend your time as a Hall Monitor on Twitter.
Why is that?
Dear Democrats,
When the Black and Jewish base warns you about a candidate, LISTEN TO THEM.
This entire Platner situation could have been avoided had yโall listened to their pleas of him being a terrible person.
Do better, Democrats.
If you're going to start listening to women in the party, then stop listening to this vile misogynist who insisted we all blindly support an unvetted, unqualified, untrustworthy man.
Emma sweetheart, you are not getting off that easy.
Not only did you believe his lies and let this man gaslight you politically, you attacked people who had common sense and two eyes and could see the warning signs from a mile away.
I do not need to be paid, and I certainly was not paid, to get on TV and say that as a Black girl who comes from two working-class immigrant parents and grew up in the South, I do not believe a white man with a Nazi tattoo and a history of allegations about aggressive behavior toward women is going to connect with real working-class voters.
Do you know why? Because working-class people have values. They work hard for what they have. They dream of giving their kids a better life than the one they grew up with. They do not stoop down for every shiny penny.
You were so wrapped up in your hatred for the Democratic Party that you backed a candidate who has now put us in a worse position to gain the Senate majority.
Feminist and mother of a son here. Platner absolutely should not drop out. This is a fight for all boys who are not perfect and who want to do good and be heroes. So many good men have been destroyed by these kind of accusations. This is not the first time completely non-criminal behavior has been weaponized for political purposes. Women and mothers will fight for Platner. This is absolutely disgusting misuse of feminism. It's time to fight this to the end.
