Graham Platner has traversed a long and unlikely road to become the Democratic nominee for the US Senate in Maine. Can he beat longtime GOP incumbent Susan Collins and live up to the promise of his firebrand populist campaign?
You have 2-4 years until your own senate race then! Are you running? Do you know any candidates who are running? Probably a great time to develop a strategy and a campaign for your future senate run. Trust me we got enough bots of Facebook repeating the same talking points you guys are discussing here. Everyone has heard your opinions.
OK, but you understand why people aren’t just worried about their own senate race, right? Donald Trump won’t be president in 2 to 4 years, and limiting the damage he does to our democracy in the meantime depends on what voters in a handful of states decide to do. The Senate is significantly more powerful than the House, and most of us will never vote in competitive Senate race.
I get it; I’m pretty fucking sick of Platner discourse as well. But what Maine and Texas decide is going to effect all of us for the next 6 years, and more crucially, it will determine whether or not Trump controls half of congress for the remainder of his term. It’s not reasonable (or accurate) to tell people, “butt out, this doesn’t concern you.”
Woah buddy you want to make a bet Donald trump won’t be president in 3 years? Idk from where I stand it looks like he’s pretty comfortable and has no reason to leave office? Maybe im missing something, you think he’s going to peacefully transfer power this time? I hear you we will be stuck with him for 6 years. Character and integrity matter. If he is a Nazi, then why not just run as republican? they love putting Nazis in government. It’s not a psyop bro, hes just a farmer for Mainers. If it’s out of your control just hope for the best outcome. He has a populist platform that is a progressive wet dream. Maybe thats the real story and the Nazi shit is a distraction.

Yeah, I expect him to be dead in less than 2. He is looking pretty rough these days. Vance may try to fuck with the peaceful transfer of power, but I doubt it. He clearly doesn’t have the charisma or balls to be the face of a fascist regime.
I also doubt Platner is a Nazi and I’d say that, even if it turns out his rhetoric is hollow and fake, you’re better off gambling on him than centrists like Mills or Collins. But a lot of people disagree, and they’re gonna be up Maine’s ass about it until the election. It’s just one of the drawbacks of having a competitive Senate race.
