@wordpower2018@NotDocMartin43@tify330 Yes, and you said two tweets ago that the dems shouldn't change anything and do the exact same thing they did when they lost the 2020 elections and the 5 consecutive elections before that
@wordpower2018@NotDocMartin43@tify330 Also it's fucking insane how you think it's acceptable for elected dems to smear a Muslim man as a jihadist just because he's moderately to the left of them on economic issues.
@wordpower2018@NotDocMartin43@tify330 Obviously they were very popular ideas because he went from being a no name candidate to sinning the general election in less than a year, thanks in part to the national media attention his campaign generated.
@wordpower2018@NotDocMartin43@tify330 So you agree, just being "Trump bad" isn't enough to win an ekection? Also, Mills is running a defunct campaign and hasn't held events or done any voter outreach for months. What on earth gave you the impression that she's capable of going "scorched earth" on anyone?
@wordpower2018@NotDocMartin43@tify330 How do you still not get it? Mamdani was squeaky clean, yet the dem establishment still ran a smear campaign against him, with elected dem congress members calling him a jihadist and implied that he supported 9/11
@wordpower2018@NotDocMartin43@tify330 If Trump being unpopular was enough to won this ME senate seat, why did collins win in 2020, when Trump was massively unpopular and had abysmal approval numbers after wildly mishandling covid?
@NotDocMartin43@wordpower2018@tify330 You need attention and energized voters to win elections. You people also said Mamdani would hurt the party and cost votes nationally cause he's too socialist and Muslim or whatever. There's literally no evidence that he hurt other dem candidates at all.
@wordpower2018@NotDocMartin43@tify330 So a republican has been winning for years in ME and your genius plan to finally beat her is to... change nothing and do the exact same thing as before?
@TVietor08@ZaidJilani But all the corporate dems keep telling me she's sure to beat collins in the general! I don't really see how she'll do that if she doesn't campaign or do any events or voter outreach of any kind
@wordpower2018@NotDocMartin43@tify330 If you can't grasp why Platner's platform energized people nationwide when Mills or 'generic democrat' didn't, then this party will continue to be doomed to lose forever.
@wordpower2018@NotDocMartin43@tify330 Platner has consistently outperformed Mills and beaten Collins in head to head polls over the last year, mills has never beaten Collins head to head. There's a reason why Platner has garnered nationwide media attention for a ME race way before the smear campaigns started.
