@NateSilver538 There are issues with a progressive candidate to appeal to that wing.
The Maine Democrats are essentially saying "this guy is JUST LIKE PLATNER ... okay EXCEPT he's not a Nazi rapist"
It's all the things you loved about Graham except for the rape allegations and Nazi tattoo!
@PollTracker2024@daveweigel Mitch McConnell would probably prefer a Doug Jones styled Democrat in a fluke special election to take his seat than Thomas Massie

@ClayTravis Why would Graham Platner voluntarily choose to be the next Al Franken? If Franken had just denied, he could have still been in the Senate today
This is a purely cynical perspective. I'm biased as a Republican, but I totally believe these accusations. But Platner is delusional
Clay is completely correct. Any Democrat who is claiming Platner has zero leverage is completely wrong. He has ALL the leverage
No single person in the USA has greater influence on the Senate majority after 2026 than Platner. He has more influence than Schumer right now
Explain to me why Graham Platner doesn’t have all the leverage here. He’s the Democrat senate nominee. They can’t take that from him. He’s not a senator now so if he loses he’s still not a senator. Unless Democrats pay him millions of dollars, why would he step down?
@timothy_sch@AdamMGrant It was brave for Trump to defend a BIPOC soccer player against the white imperialists at FIFA 😃🇺🇸🦅✊
It's even braver that Trump is standing up against the Belgians, the most violent imperialists in Africa. If you oppose Trump, you endorse Leopold's treatment of Congolese 😒
@mrbrianrowe I think back to Kathy Bates in Misery. Very, very similar roles as women toxically obsessed with a male lead. In another world, Kathy Bates could have gone supporting, but Misery was buoyed by the big mames pf James Caan and Rob Reiner
Maggie's Refuel, a new high-end gas station brand just opened in LA ~
"Maggie’s Refuel is a high-end convenience store brand planning to modernize and innovate the current gas station experience.
Think Autogrill meets 7-Eleven Japan: matcha, local croissants, premium CPG, and yes, a soft-serve cone - all alongside a gas (or EV) fill-up."
