Seven in ten of the state’s “liberals” just unapologetically voted for a guy who:
√ Has a Nazi tattoo √ Called cops bastards√ Said black people don’t tip
√ Deacribed rural Mainers as stupid
√ Suggested rape victims get what they deserve
√ Accused a soldier of stupidity by surviving gunfire
√ Sexted women online unbeknownst to his new wife
√ Forced that same innocent wife to make a hostage video defending his misogyny
√ Questionably claims he runs an oyster farm
√ Was arrested for drunk driving
√ Discussed buying cocaine in Reddit posts and admitted drug use while backpacking during paid military leave
√ Twice volunteered to fight in a war while accusing the state’s GOP senator of forcing him into battle
Seventy percent of Democrat voters in Maine blithely ignored Graham Platner’s history and gladly cast their ballots to make him their U.S. Senate nominee.
These are the very same ignoramuses who claim Republicans are insensitive to minorities, to women, to veterans, to humanity in general.
They consciously filled out ballots containing the names of two Democrat alternatives as optional choices.
Janet Mills may be an unmitigated disaster as a governor but she’s never come close to Platner’s penchant for belittling every race, creed and color.
David Costello may be a total bore with no governing plan or logical reason for running but he has never been accused of fraud and deceit.
No one held a gun to the heads of Democrats in Maine threatening to pull the trigger if they refused to support a senatorial choice who has time and time again insulted women, minorities and veterans.
But nonetheless they made this choice. Voluntarily.
It wasn’t Donald Trump – the guy Democrats claim is a Nazi and racist and rapist – who did any of this.
It was 140,000 Maine people who call themselves God-fearing Democrats deciding to put their futures in the hands of arguably the worst example of the human condition they could ever dream up as their idea of an honorable political proxy.
Democrats did this.
Not Republicans.
They were down on the Damariscotta Bridge this morning celebrating their ignorance .
A stupider group of malcontents could not even be imagined .
WTF has happened to the people of Maine .?
Perhaps those Covid masks they so be grudgingly had to put away , stole oxygen from their brains and is now showing the effects .
They really did enjoy their masks .
His campaign is very slick. It totally avoids all issues and talks in vacuous platitudes only. The leftists on Disney’s Propaganda network ( ABC) fawn over him morning, noon and night with free advertising. His campaign has spent more than all other campaigns for every election slot in Maine combined. I’ll bet the Commies will spend over 100 million to getting this scumbag elected. -One Hundred Million!!!
What has happened to maine? the socialists have moved into the state and have populated portland and the midcoast. i was blown away that this representative of the common man had his victory party in blue hill… says it all…
Cry about it snowflakes. As if the right has can claim ANY moral high ground when your lord and savior is the most corrupt, narcissistic, dishonest, morally bankrupt human on the f***ing plane. If you can’t see it you’re simply beyond hope. Graham’s scandals are utterly trivial in comparison to those of trump and so many Republicans, and the right’s desperate attempts to smear him signal how terrified they are of this man. The tattoo indeed gives pause, but until a single thing he says reflects one iota of alignment with the fascist ideology (we know which side that ideology actually comes from), I think it’s fair to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Don’t forget, us independents also voted for him. And if you didn’t do drugs on leave, and jerk off in the shitter, you are a neverserved.
Read a few comments from TDS suffers
Bottom line: people who voted for Platner voted for a guy with a WAFFEN SS tattoo and is a misogynist. EVERYTHING they detest about Trump. FTR, Trump doesn’t have a National Socialist aka NAZI tattoo. An Inconvenient Truth.
The tribal mentality of Maine blue voters is incomprehensible.
Platner was selected and groomed as a candidate by Ivy League elites. Those elites were either ignorant as to Platner’s closet skeletons or they assumed Democrats were a bunch of hypocrites who don’t actually care about racism, feminism, etc. They gambled and won.
Most of us on here already knew Dems don’t respect women or women’s rights, given their position that mentally ill boys and men are women. (We also already knew they don’t actually trust science.) But now, we know antisemitism and people who are comfy enough with Nazis to tattoo their chests with symbols of the Reich are okay with them, too.
The leading Democrat candidate for Governor, Nirav Shah, is a carpetbagger from Chicago who got a fellowship from Soros’s brother’s foundation. Another Dem selection from the DNC. I’d bet money on it.
Say what you will about Pingree, Mills, and even Collins, and I definitely could go on and on about the lot of them. But they are Mainers from a family of Mainers who have been here for generations. (Platner is of the first generation of his family to be born in Maine.)
Maine is being used as globalist Democrats’ bad idea testing lab and I’m pretty sick of it. They do this carpetbagger thing everywhere, installing people to do their bidding. Massachusetts has this too, though they barely needed the interference. They were already full of bad globalist ideas.
Platner’s character flaws are obvious- and well documented. But there is a strategic need for the GOP to understand his puzzling appeal to a Dem/Independent base. Documenting more flaws is not the answer. Who are his supporters? Why do they respond so enthusiastically? What are their needs that drive them to Platner? How can Susan Collins and her base design an effective counter-campaign? Serious thought is needed.
It’s a diseased population that oozed up into Maine from away.
No other way to explain the madness.
Jerome Collins indeed!
It’s proof that we live in an age where wrong is right.
I’m seriously appalled that these Demonrats actually call themselves Mainers.
Children of Satan..follow your savior.
You discuss me.
Pingree is not a Mainer, like Angus she is a transplant, and they never will be.
Jerome, one of the things we could hammer home as Republicans is that access to non-existent healthcare is not a benefit. It’s a corporate subsidy to insurance companies or more state government jobs to track a “benefit” that is destroying the very industry whose services it’s meant to give access to.
Democrats are promising healthcare for all, but their policies are actually insurance for all. That isn’t the same thing.
Republicans could counter with reducing the burdens on our healthcare infrastructure (drug addicts & illegals/dependent immigrants) and decreasing regulatory burdens where possible. Maine also has some monopolies to break up. If MaineHealth becomes synonymous with Maine healthcare, there goes our shot at reducing costs.
We can do this on a lot of issues. The basic idea is hammering home how much Dem policies actually cost. Not just the economic burden on Maine families, but the social costs.
We know Maine can be better. We can have smarter kids. We can reduce generational welfare dependency. We can become unfriendly to drug use and other drug-related crime. Our public spaces can be public again. We can commit to reduced government and accountability. That requires oversight and transparency.
Dems suck. This should be like shooting fish in a barrel.
“I’m automatically attracted to beautiful… I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”
“I’ll go backstage before a show and everyone’s getting dressed… No men are anywhere, and I’m allowed to go in, because I’m the owner of the pageant and therefore I’m inspecting it. […] You know, they’re standing there with no clothes. […] And you see these incredible looking women, and so I sort of get away with things like that.”
“I’ve known Jeff [Epstein] for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
