Motown Bombers

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.

Weird how republicans don’t attack Susan Collins for being too old.

Maine just elected 80 year old Angus King and the aforementioned too old Mills plus the mid 70’s Susan Collins. One of Maine’s congressional representatives is 71. Jared Golden is the only member of Maine’s federal delegation that is under 70 and surprise he’s the most conservative and even dabbled with supporting Trump.

Gas is $5 near me.

The weak Democrats are the younger ones. This age thing started on the right and Dems caved and bought into it and threw their most progressive president in decades under the buss.

I assumed it was but republicans always use that one gas station in California so I’ll allow it.

Since age matters and experience doesn’t anymore, go with Angela Alsobrooks as leader. She’s a black woman which is the foundation of the party and she’s from a safe blue state.

We don’t need a Nazi supporter as leader.

Not buying the age thing at all. Maine is an old state. They elected Angus King. They support Bernie Sanders. This is the same issue that Republicans face. Only the extreme partisans vote in primaries.

Because he’s young, wears flannel, and has a beavers ass on his face. He has new ideas we haven’t heard yet. The pod bros like him.

Really none of it since the guy was in his 30’s when he said all this stuff. It’s weird the purity test the left has for everyone else. Buttigieg was disqualified because he once worked for McKinsey. Everything with this guy is just waved off.

I do think Dems will take the senate but it's impossible without Maine. I think people are sleeping on Ohio, but in this environment with Sherrod Brown running, I think they flip it. North Carolina seems easier than Maine. Cooper is very strong going against a non incumbent nutcase. Alaska is another sleeper along with Iowa and I think Talarico has a shot in Texas. Collins is tough. They will have more oppo on Platner. There will also be another vote where Collins vote is meaningless and she can vote against the party like in 2020 when she voted against Amy Coney Barrett.

I don't think she's assured victory, but I think it's 50/50 and it's leaning Collins. I also don't think we've seen all of Platner's warts. I think there is a lot more to come. Voters may simply sit it out or view Collins as the lesser of two evils.

Democrats now have to explain why they support the guy with the Nazi tattoos, who blamed rape victims for their rape, and used anti gay slurs. Everything Democrats rightfully attack Republicans for, but he's young and has a beaver's ass on his face and wears flannel.

I mean, Bernie Sanders is a force and supports Platner. Sanders also supported Fetterman and Gabbard. Biden wasn't addicted to corporate money. That was his problem. Corporate money turned against him and the party kicked him out.

I don't think Collins is going down easy. She looked dead in the water going against a young well funded Dem. She was down in the polls and pulled out a safe win in an election Biden won by double digits. Maine works a little differently. We also haven't even heard everything on Platner. The Republicans have oppo on him and I would not be surprised if there are women who come forward who say he sexually assaulted them.

Tell me one thing Platner is proposing that is a new idea?
