Graham Platner: “Susan Collins hasn’t met a war she doesn’t like, and it’s no surprise because she’s married to a lobbyist who represents the defense industry. You don’t see as many articles about that.”
"We need a fucking battle cuz this son of a whore is asking for it. And I love to fight. [Platner's] willing to take them on. He has absolutely no fear & he comes up like a bear. I don’t want to hear anymore namby pamby shit from Susan Collins. I want her gone so fucking bad."
Maine voter asked about Platner: "If we want folks that are representing us from the working class, they're not necessarily going to have a groomed and perfect political record"
Maine voter asked about Platner: "Probing into the minutiae of his personal relationships when you don't do that for any other candidate is ridiculous."
@umichvoter@emrey35 I know somebody that worked in King county elections, they worked during the 2020 election when there was a record number ballots it took 8-9 weeks to count 1.2 million ballots
🚨BREAKING🚨
Democrat Nithya Raman has advanced to the November General Election in the Los Angeles, CA Mayoral Election.
She will face Incumbent Democrat Karen Bass.
Claudia Sheinbaum has approval ratings of between 70 and 80%, thanks to her progressive policies which have lifted over 8 million people out of poverty.
So of course the @NYTimes finds some reason to attack her.
They hate her because she shows what can be done.
Very clear double standard at play with Platner reporting because he is anti-zionist and anti-oligarch. For example, Newsom dated a 19 year old when he was 39 and slept with his best friend’s wife but for some reason this isn’t the subject of breathless exposes. Reporters aren’t banging down the door of all Newsom’s ex’s to dig for more dirt. It’s not considered potentially disqualifying or really considered at all.
