Graham Platner can be replaced as the Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine if he withdraws from the race by next Monday, and state law would then give the state Democratic Party until July 27 to name a replacement.
He was and is a bad candidate because he’s a nazi-tattoo-having rapist. Defend that at the loss of your credibility and moral standing.
The GOP spent a ton of money to protect a weak Collins, in a year they expect massive losses. They’re spending heavily everywhere. Is this your first election? Are you 18?
Do you know how manipulated you were into liking Platner in the first place? Do you know how these working-man-speaking-truth-to-power candidates are made? They are creatures of the political consulting class, who seek out someone mediagenic who fits their profile, back him with money and tell him what to say.
You are not fighting the establishment backing Platner. You’re just engaging with the arm of the establishment that is marketed as “anti-establishment”.
