Motown Bombers

Democrats need to put their money where their mouth is at. Markey needs to drop out. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren need to announce they aren’t going to run for reelection. Enough of this selective ageism.

Well as you said, in that same election, Maine elected a 78 year old milquetoast president and followed that up by electing an 80 year old milquetoast senator. Maybe, using your logic, they should have ran an older candidate.

Maine is an old population that elects old people. Not sure what to tell you. There’s no evidence they prefer younger candidates judging by their federal delegation and governor.

BTW what is even “establishment”? Is establishment being in congress for 35 years never having actually held any sort of job in the private sector?

She received more donations from Mainers than Platner. Platner is getting bankrolled from out of state. Polls in Maine are also notoriously unreliable. Just ask Maine senator Sara Gideon.

She ran out of money. She probably wasn’t going to win but voters haven’t decided anything yet.

She probably should have ran for MI-11 with Stevens running for senate.

The original comparison I was making was Spanberger and Sherril to Platner. Platner is supposed to be the new environment but Normie Dems won big.

Voters didn’t send any message. There hasn’t been an election in Maine. Platner hasn’t won. In 2024, when Biden was forced out, Maine elected 80 year old Angus King. Platner could run for governor and he could choose who replaces Mills if she died. Republicans aren’t attacking Susan Collins for being too old. The only difference between Mills and Sherril or Spanberger is age. Democrats have fully given into the Republican ageism.

Besides age, how so?

You said Chris Murphy. McMorrow is a rat****er who was part of the silent coop against Biden.

Normie Dems won big in New Jersey and Virginia. It is not the political environment we are in. A bunch of New England Dems, who are mostly old, decided this caricature is what will save the party.
