THIS is how you lose. Platner should have dropped out already. But this guy has no morals, so it's not unexpected that he hasn't.
He dropped out 30 minutes ago lol. Dropping out and calling it all false is certainly a choice. This means you're either a liar or a coward. I am absolutely ready to hear out the accuser and weigh the evidence (not that it matters now or that we will see/hear any more about this), but all the same, the timing of this feels extremely ****ing fishy. Platner is a troubled, imperfect person. I am not personally invested in him or his race at all. But I'm willing to bet even somebody as flawed as him has more integrity in a single nugget of his **** than Donald Trump does in his entire body, so miss me with the morality lectures.
Democratic activists and political strategists Daniel Moraff and Leanne Fan handpicked Graham Platner to run for the U.S. Senate in Maine and managed his background check process. Together with their adviser Morris Katz, they conducted a limited three-day background check that ultimately failed to uncover several of Platner's past controversies.
Dem have tolerated some huge red flags in politician here, but there is nothing remotely comparable to the MAGA Republican Party and Trump. I want to keep it that way. The last thing we need is a left-wing version of MAGA. This is what I stated a month ago: https://bbs.clutchfans.net/threads/democrats-this-is-how-you-win.327377/page-15#post-16192770
Graham Platner said he’s suspending his campaign not because of the allegations, but because of structures that have been taken away from him by those in power he needs to cut the bullsh*t already people were willing to overlook a bunch of things to win this Senate seat, but you can’t expect many non-republicans to overlook credible rape allegations this is on you, not the “Democrat elites” or the “establishment”
there needs to be a discussion on why there was so little vetting done on him to start out They were that desperate for the “blue collar” chud aesthetic?
The timing is suspicious, but it's too damn believable when you factor in his moral failings that we know are true.
free link, no paywall The Red Flag That Led to Graham Platner’s Implosion Was Hiding in Plain Sight Maine’s populist Senate candidate made costly miscalculation when he doubled down on his troubled background https://www.wsj.com/politics/electi...c?st=jYvgXD&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
This dumbass has not said a single about Trump's corruption while spamming these forums 24/7 about Hunter Biden. You're no different than Planter
this has to be like the 10th time in the past week you’ve shown up in my notifications…I could not give any less of a fck about the thoughts or opinions of some broke r****ded MAGA
oh noes. you called me a maga. my feelings are so hurt. First, I think Trump is a POS as the same with the Republican party. You're the one who doesn't understand the Democrat party is no different. You do not understand why the Democrats didn't vet him. The answer is simple - The Democrat party and its resilient supporters like yourself ..... are just not that bright. Who knows, its been obvious for a decade Democrats are very corrupt. It might take you another decade to finally get it. doubt it though.
trump is not running for senate in Maine. the real question is whether Platner has more integrity than Collins.
This is a hell of a statement to make after we just witnessed (yet another) Democrat drop out of their race when credibly accused of a crime/malfeasance, whereas the Republican party made Trump their godking.
Exactly. This is nothing more than a way to maintain Status Quo Either a Status Quo /MAGA REpublican or a Weak Ass Status Quo Democrat will get this seat Nothing changes. Like Donny - I have no dog in this fight beyond the fact that I can see this is Fishie as f*ck I think the smears against anyone that is out of step will increase Look for anyone willing to say they are DSA to have every sin dragged into public life however I have no doubts that they all have some dirt out there waiting to be flung at the right time.

https://www.threads.com/@terrycowgi...QG0hWWrTHAtIrkwVPr7ZW6xIXF164b4ZhXxL3E7MhJl4Q These 2 out of state dorks were spearheading the vetting process? And why does he sound like that towards the end?
This is the typical moral high ground both parties tend to make. "my guy might be bad, but at least he isn't as bad as yours". So we turn the blind eye to all the other bad apples because ..... you removed one? What you're failing to understand is the bar is so low that some of the most despicable self serving people get this far along in the process ... and even elected as POTUS. Both parties are ROTTEN. stop pretending one bad apple is better than another. This type of thinking is why we are experiencing this weird 'race to the bottom' to find out which party can dig up the most despicable candidate.
