    LOL, he does seem a lot like Hegseth with the adulterer traits and his nasty bigoted remarks about rape victims and whistleblowers.

    Yeah the mental issues that I have is that your tribe should not be allowed to breed or even exist in this world at all. We need to blow up your wretched party to make this world a better place to live.

    That's it, I've seen enough. I cannot support Graham Platner.

    Some people continue to maintain friendships even with accused/convicted sexual predators. They may convince themselves that the accusations of him exploiting underage girls were untrue or somehow not as bad as was depicted in the press. That mindset doesn’t seem far-fetched to me. Look at the millions who have no personal relationship with Trump, accused many times over of sexual predation, and still think of him as a great guy they’d like to hang out with.

    The primary is next Tuesday. RCV.

    Mills didn't drop out, she suspended campaigning. So, she's still on the ballot. David Costello is the other candidate.

    I hope to see one of those two winning it.

    Sure, that happens all the time. It happens in families, churches, sports, and elsewhere. A kid claims sexual assault and folks turn a blind eye, and believe the perp over the child, or just ignore it regardless. Jim Jordan was a good example of that in sports. I used to watch that show " To Catch a Predator" and it sickened me how many men of all occupations got their rocks off to meet up with some child. It's just gross how much effort goes into protecting a perp, like with the Epstein files, or folks just choosing to brush that sick stuff aside.

    The thing is, a good parent wouldn't prioritize business or anything else over hanging out with or associating with predators. The ones who let kids be around them are disgusting. Whether it's churches, parents, or anything involving children, when in doubt, don't put the kids at risk.


    All I can say about that is they are disturbing, especially if they have children. Politics should never blind people to a point that they would turn a blind eye to sexual violence and child sexual abuse. That's just sick cult mentality there.

    It's no coincidence the democrat party has fallen apart right about the time Epstein died. All the Demorats turn on each other when their puppet master died. I'm sure Epsteins buddy Reid Hoffman, one of the biggest contributors to the DNC, has everything under control

    This notion that the democratic party is falling apart when they've won every battleground special election since last year is so funny. The fact that you think this truly shows how sincerely braindead you are from being on Twitter too much.

    Reid Hoffman is a bad guy for having business meeting but somehow Musk begging to party with epstein even after he's a convicted pedophile somehow makes him your idol. You sincerely have brain rot to the max

    You can call me whatever. Atleast I'm not a braindead MAGA like yourself cosplaying as a "independent." You have no coherent ideology

    This guy is a blue collar farmer vet who sent naughty texts to women who weren’t his wife. You’d think the MAGA ****s would be clamoring to vote for him.

    That's so gross. Of all the Americans who are decent human beings, and not creeps cheating on their wives or making disgusting remarks about rape, women and whistleblowers, the Democratic Party there chose this guy. This is the kind of crappy candidate you would expect from the Republican party. Democrats need to be better

    if this was 10 years ago, I’d be with you, but in this moment, I’d cast a vote for Platner with zero hesitation

    when the country is being destroyed, Civil Rights are getting rolled back, ICE is ripping families apart, corruption is happening at a level never before seen, racism is running rampant, millions are losing healthcare, and so much more, some sexting and Reddit posts from a few years ago do nothing for me…the other party elected a pedophile and is protecting Epstein associates while also wanting to give over a billion dollars of tax payer money to Jan 6 criminals and cop beaters

    I’m not losing a Senate seat over sexting

    You are missing my point. They could easily have chosen a candidate who wasn't a POS. There are plenty of folks who don't have his nasty morals and background of sickening comments. Why settle for this guy? It's gross. If you want to be better than at least pick a candidate worthy of representing the state.

    Who is they?

    None of the other candidates are beating Susan Collins. I’d rather win with Platner than lose with 78 y/o Janet Mills.

    Platner was a nobody before the race began and didn’t have the backing of the Democratic leadership nor a bunch of big money donors. If any of the other candidates had any juice whatsoever, they should’ve had no problem edging him out. But they couldn’t.

    so I disagree that they easily could’ve chosen someone else since it’s clear none of them could speak to the issues Maine voters are facing like he has been able to

    Re n Platner. As usual the more progressive and less interested in sucking up to rich donors or ignoring genocide the more the righties get their bowels in an uproar. They have never recovered from AOC or Mandani for instance winning. lol

    It is hard to know what motivates the NYT and the WaPo dwelling on Platners more --defense of the status quo for the top 10% and their bililonaire owners or just clickbait about a new popular candidate.

    I go with defense of the status quo.

    Don't get me wrong, I don't want 78 year old Republican taking that seat either. It's just sad that there weren't more respected "nobody's" (men or women) with just as much passion to fight for those same issues, who also could relate to the people. It's like bigoted men who make nasty despicable comments about rape victims, or who
    cheat on their spouses is the norm for men wanting to go into politics.
