There's still time so we'll see but this is a very interesting race. I wish people were more interested in the Senate race in my state.

I trust Mills more, she is not great policy-wise but has a track record. Platner is a nobody, never held public office, probably a trojan horse infiltrating a vulnerable Senate race latching onto people's desperation and it's working.

I appreciate that.
But I'd like to know, why are so many in Maine convinced Platner is their best chance at beating Collins? And not Mills who has already won multiple statewide elections?

From the outside looking in. What is it about Mainers that a Nazi tattoo is no big deal? I look at the demographics and it's exactly what I'd expect it to be.
This guy has a nearly identical platform to Platner and is even a veteran without all the red flags.
To quote Graham: What the f*ck?

No one believes this except MAGAts with TDS who keep falling for it.

This is a strange argument. The right already does this using the "socialist" name to smear the left as "national socialists." Their name for Gretchen Whitmer is "Gretchen Whitler."
Regardless, he seems like someone likely to turn once elected.

Not looking forward to the right pointing to Platner to both-sides their Nazi problem. It's concerning how many folks on the left are willing to excuse it, you'd think we're better than this.
He's the one who got it and kept it until it became a problem for him. He knows what it is.

And it's not even a photo op. This man has a mountain of humility.

We all knew this guy was a "yes" before we even uttered his name.
What a disgrace.

I noticed this too, I like BlueSky for having some level of moderation but some of the valid criticisms are being hidden.

Every time I hear Neguse speak he is always well-informed and on-point. He would make a great House Speaker.

So it's begins.
He's going to push to end the ACA and needs to scam his supporters into believing it's actually a good thing. They'll get a 1% tax cut and that will totally be enough to pay for insurance.

Platner's supporters are so loyal he could shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue and he wouldn't lose any votes.
His slogan is "Mainers First," he whines about how the establishment is treating him so unfairly when he's the one who's had a Nazi tattoo for 2 decades... what even.
