1. Who trusts him to vote with Democrats?

It looks like you can’t trust much he says based on what he has said and some inconvenient facts. What does it matter if he beats Collins but turns out to be Fetterman or Sinema? It’s pretty easy to imagine him a smart guy doing a good job of seeking power by pretending to be whatever the electorate wants. I’m sure he’d love to impress his Hotchkiss classmates.

8. Excellent points, all!

[Tribetime]

17. Trojan Horse like Sinema

2. Ok, have heard enough about this candidate......

Do not want him to win. JMHO.

[Easterncedar]

3. FFS. Drop it.

He’s done. Move on.

[sheshe2]

11. No, I won't drop it until he does.

He still has a lot of supporters that are googly eyed over him. He has some very powerful people behind him 100% no matter what seems to come out from his past. On top of all that he has boatloads of money stockpiled and growing.

4. What! Graham, Not "working class" Planter

called the 9/11 Mass Homicidal Terrorists, "Freedom Fighters:?

What a Tragic Insult to those who Perished on 9/11. 💔

7. Well

The hits just keep on coming. This man is a fraud, in the future I would advise democrats to vet their candidates a little better and us folks in the cheap seats need to stop falling in love with smooth talking charlatans.

[mr715]

9. Yeah, fraud.

Conman. Good PR until he ran out of good PR.

He can fix himself for the next 20 years and run for something Federal then.

10. Are we turning to the Free Beacon as a source now?

From what I’ve read, I would not want Platner as my Democratic Party rep running for US Senate as there seems to be too much baggage at the least. His inexperience plus evidence that he is possibly a racist, homophobe, and anti-Semite would be enough to dissuade me and my primary vote. I’m not sure what would drive me to the Beacon, but it sure wouldn’t be to find high school dirt on my disfavored candidate. Private school? Deep state alumni? High School attempt at a nuanced op-ed about terrorism? Every Beacon article headline gives me pause. “One Year After Trump Worked the Fryer at McDonald's, There's Still No Evidence Kamala Ever Did” or worse, but more impactful, “Texas Health System Hit With Civil Rights Complaint Over Minority Contracting in Wake of Free Beacon Report”. Actually, pretty much no Beacon headline would fly here, unless it’s about Platner, Mamdani, or Jay Jones. I’m certainly not saying we should disagree with the Right on all issues, but the enemy of our enemy here is not our friend. Driving people to right wing websites without warning may increase the effectiveness of their MAGA propaganda.

12. The first article is MSNBC. NT

[sl8]

18. No, the first article is from "The Daily Caller", founded by Tucker Carlson and Keith Patel.

[Celerity]

20. False claim. It is Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller, link-washed via the MSN (not MSNBC) news aggregator.

14. How many flashing neon red flags does it take

to get some people off his band wagon.

15. This guy is kinda cuckoo

One thing after another.

He needs to go back to his faux working man oyster farming job. Leave the party alone.

Let’s see now:

-Nazi tattoo on chest (so either he had poor judgment / was drunk or he knew it, or he later found out and decided to keep it anyways?)
-Black people don’t tip (I’m paraphrasing; I’m surprised his comments weren’t even worse)
-all sorts of crude anti gay comments (in his mid thirties?)
-I’m a communist (brilliant thing to say running for the senate)
-white people are dumb (isn’t Maine like 90% white?)
-white people are mostly racist (great way to go for the voters there!)
-9/11 terrorists are just “misunderstood “ (well this is new)
-now has staff signing NDAs (and I thought he was being transparent earlier getting ahead of the stories; I was wrong!)

Honestly I don’t even care whether he went to a prep school or not. The faux working class thing is super cliched, but so many politicians use that, I can almost look past it.

The rest of the shit? wtf? He’s a grown ass
man making all sorts of dumb crude comments. It sounds like the idiots near this administration, like Musk commenting about Duffy or something being so “gay” or Cheung and Leavitt basically saying “yo mamma” in response to a reporter to a reporter.

Bunch of middle schoolers running the country now.

16. Calls himself an FDR Democrat, just means he's from similar wealthy upper class elite capitalist background.

Silly to cave to the working class obsession and pretend. Nobody cares except the ones trying to fool people into thinking FDR was a democratic socialist -- they have no problem with hypocrisy.

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Sounds familiar. What's the next line? "Go ask Nelson Mandela"?

19. Why do you keep posting RW MAGA-sourced OPs? Disgusting to see Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller plus The Free Beacon

posted here on this board. Your attempt at link-washing the Daily Caller piece is not fooling anyone who clicks on it.



As for your other RW source, The Free Beacon, that is also a horrid OP choice:







You should pull this RW-sourced OP down now.
