Graham Platner to @daveweigel.bsky.social:
"How do you expect to win back men when you go back through somebody’s Reddit history and just pull it all out and say: ‘Oh, my God, this person has no right to ever be in politics?’"
DSCC Chair Gillibrand: “It’s up to the voters of Maine to decide.”
Aren’t the Dems running an old lady against him? I thought that’s why there was so much hubbub, it seems like it’s a contested primary (otherwise it makes the people covering for this Nazi even more embarrassing)
yeah, the primary is really reflecting the two factions inside the party: 95 year old centrists who can no longer walk or speak, vs fake leftists who turn into raging right-wingers at the first opportunity, but maintain “populist” cultural signifiers. A big part of the party is backing the 2nd strategy apparently.
