@AngieCraigMN She's fine with one debate but scared of... a second debate?

Fuckin goof, just drop out, stop wasting everyone's time.

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

Susan Collins's latest financial report just came out.

A staggering one-third of her money raised this quarter came directly from AIPAC.

Senator Collins is bought and paid for by Benjamin Netanyahu, and she votes accordingly.

Have Democrats tried beating Platner with a "succumb to oligarchy" message?

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

Thank you to Fox News for sharing our message, which doesn't seem to strike Mainers as particularly "radical."

@NortonMpls West Broadway is fine. Northside is the most ghetto neighborhood in the city and it's fine. Unless you're a soft summer flower and can't handle occasional gunshots.

Some thoughts as Mills drops out:

* I've been poorly inclined towards Platner for the obvious reasons - no use relitigating them.
* It seems pretty clear Platner just has the juice with Maine voters and Mills did not. He has a better chance in the general.
* Despite my reservations, I would vote for Platner over Collins if I lived in Maine and encourage others to do the same. Control of the Senate is too important to risk.
* It's good that Mills is dropping out of a losing race early rather than fighting a nasty battle to the end. Deserves some credit.
* Lots of people will want to universalize this race to be about their particular thing. Populism vs establishment, left vs center, white working class aesthetics, etc. But Maine is an odd state and I think it's difficult to universalize it.

We don't want you to want anything.

You dramatically overestimate how much anyone on the left factors your thoughts and opinions into their aims. Your ilk is the voice of oligarchy in the party, you've devoted your life to ostricizing us. You are to be beaten, not catered to.

[Cow @Supersampm]

Hilarious sequence here.

@jonfavs I'm usually hard on Pod Save. I think you're too submissive to institutionalist Dems and give soft interviews.

I can't say that here, you didn't let him off the hook with any of the fluffy non-answers. He was overtly lying to your face and you stuffed his nose in it. Great work.

[Cow @Supersampm]

@PodSaveAmerica We do genuinely just need a new party. Let these people sink themselves, pathetic.

@RDoe2121 @lydiakauppi If you're a real person and you live here post a selfie by a clear Minneapolis landmark.

You don't really live here, do you?

[Cow @Supersampm]

@mattyglesias Oh yeah everybody works for gambling companies, everyone takes a 7 figure private sector role in the most amoral new industry in existence. Cutter is obviously more relatable to the average working person than some populist who thinks big business is squeezing consumers.

@musharbash_b @ezraklein @mattyglesias Counterpoint: he's not mindlessly pro-Israel, so, he's bad or whatever.

@DrDiGiorgio To literally quote you one tweet ago: "This assumes at some level healthcare is a limitless resource. Which is just stupid."

[Cow @Supersampm]

@DrDiGiorgio If there are 50 people who need a neurosurgeon, that doesn't change when you introduce price as a distribution mechanism. You're just ensuring the 3 people rich enough to afford a surgeon are served. Healthcare price elasticity erases demand, not one's need for healthcare.

@KhoaVuUmn The US bombing communist countries is good for US GDP, bad for the communist country's GDP, but neolibs will show you a fully decontextualized model of communist vs neolib fiscal policy to prove neolib policies are better for growth.

Bombings and artificial famine? Beyond scope.
