Or……we could just leave the Middle East & do a Marshall plan-style reconstruction for OUR nation.

[Christopher D. White @ZanderKelly30]

lol what the fuck

[Politics & Poll Tracker 📡 @PollTracker2024]

This is how the question was worded when voters were informed of Platner’s controversies:

"Rumors allege Graham Platner sexually assaulted multiple women & texted “I would rape them to show I’m dominant.” His wife is defending him. Knowing this, who would you vote for in the 2026 Maine Senate race?"

🟦Graham Platner 48.2%
🟥Susan Collins 40.1% (incumbent)
Undecided 11.7%

[Christopher D. White @ZanderKelly30]

@aseitzwald Not clear to me what would compel him to drop the race. He's currently lapping his primary opponent -- who has no juice -- and is ahead of Susan Collins. Lots of things would have to go south and quickly to force a change in his thinking along those lines

[Christopher D. White @ZanderKelly30]

@SamRo good man

[Christopher D. White @ZanderKelly30]

Good. We need to get those drinking numbers up higher. It's a disgrace, the drinking rate ebbing. A damn disgrace

[Sam Ro 📈 @SamRo]

I'm hungover

[Christopher D. White @ZanderKelly30]

@ZaidJilani this all seems so familiar

[Christopher D. White @ZanderKelly30]

@DougHenwood And boy did they pivot lol

[Christopher D. White @ZanderKelly30]

There are similarities: persuasion techniques, outsider qualities, act as battering rams against old, dead systems etc. There are differences: unlike T, Plat isn’t a cartoonishly corrupt criminal aiming to dismember the US & turn the nation into an African rump state

[PoIiMath @politicalmath]

The Graham Platner candidacy really does remind me a lot of Trump

Senators line up behind him for the sake of the party, partisans furiously defend him, and many dedicated and honest people lighting their careers on fire to try to stop him.

@TheStalwart Might not be the iPhone at all. At least on its own. Could be a combo of the rise of smart phones (of which the iPhone was the 1st) and social media. Both in tandem perhaps spurring social isolation, making coupling more difficult

[Christopher D. White @ZanderKelly30]

sometimes you have to hold your phone while walking. Lack of pockets and all

[Jeremy Barr @jeremymbarr]

Incredible stuff here - the NY Post got a photo of Scott Pelley walking and holding his phone https://t.co/7jNuviKMym

[Christopher D. White @ZanderKelly30]

Being a man without youngsters is like believing you've discovered most of the world that's worth discovering. The nooks, the crannies, the people, the moments. And then becoming bored of it all. Then you have a toddler or two, and realize there are multiple universes left to see

[Rob Henderson @robkhenderson]

"Men with two children had an estimated brain age that was 0.6 years younger than their childless peers had, and for men with three children, it was 0.7 years younger. That’s similar to the brain benefit associated with exercising 2.5 hours a week." https://t.co/28mz6llyyp

[Christopher D. White @ZanderKelly30]

terrible

[Sean Francis @musingmymind]

RIP to a real one

[Christopher D. White @ZanderKelly30]

"Due to his condition" 🤣

[Lilly Batson @Lilly_bat98]

Shane singlehandedly carrying SNL after they fired him is actually the funniest joke ever.

[Christopher D. White @ZanderKelly30]

the other odd thing IMO came before the NYT report was published. There were lots of folks on this here website with very distinct and specific political profiles who -- for some reason -- had inside knowledge(?) about the report before it dropped. Quite unusual

[Christopher D. White @ZanderKelly30]

This has def been an interesting thing to observe. The right now taking some of the same tactics and lingo that the left employed during the Brett Kavanaugh-era. Shameful stuff back then. Hopefully we don't see a similar thing play out over the next few months

[David Weigel @daveweigel]

My report from the Platner trail, where he's sticking with his "redemption" message and some Dems say the DSCC caused all this by betting the farm on Mills.

2040 History Books: “He did in fact become Jimmy Carter in the sense that he represented an old dead thing. The closing of a book”

[Hiba Nasr @HibaNasr]

Trump said “I don’t want to be Jimmy Carter”, when asked about sending the military to get the Uranium .

[Christopher D. White @ZanderKelly30]

@AmericanGwyn Similar in some ways to the Distant Mirror in the sense that it plots city development & urban architecture over the years. Raises insights like the import of Natural Surveillance wherein neighbors keep eyes on the streets, which results in lower crime, healthier communities

[Christopher D. White @ZanderKelly30]

Platner's likely to win for one big reason: Like Mamdani & Trump before him, he is PACING & LEADING voters. He's got a feel 4 where folks are rn, & he's validating their fears, diagnosing their anxiety. This, as he articulates a better future. Everyone else is talking at voters

[Nikhil Pal Singh @nikhil_palsingh]

None of Platner’s critics actually talk about what he says because it is what really scares them.

[Christopher D. White @ZanderKelly30]

lol Nov gunna be a red wedding for the GOP

[VinnyTheBozo @BozoVinny]

This internal poll literally refers to Platner as a p*do and they're tied at the same numbers at Fabrizios last poll way back in January.
