“While Susan Collins’ campaign is backed by billionaire donors, our campaign is built on a movement funded by the people, with an average donation of $26,” said Graham Platner’s campaign manager.
A new analysis of campaign finance data shows that nearly 100 billionaires and their spouses have contributed to Republican Sen. Susan Collins’ reelection bid so far, funneling nearly $10 million to the incumbent’s campaign committee and PACs supporting her effort to fend off progressive challenger Graham Platner.
The Maine Monitor on Thursday published a list of billionaires who have donated to Collins and Platner, who has called his Republican opponent a “corrupt” protector and beneficiary of an oligarchic political system.
The outlet noted that Collins’ billionaire donation total “stands in stark contrast with the fundraising of her opponent… whose campaign has mostly attracted smaller amounts of funds but from many more people.”
To them, losing the “progressives can’t win purple states” narrative would be a catastrophe.
Not only can progressives win in purple states, I bet they can win in these supposedly “red” states that have been abandoned by the Dems in recent years. Progressive takeover of the Democratic Party needs to happen ASAP.
In 1936, Roosevelt was elected despite millionaires pouring money into Hoover’s campaign.
Voting is important.
She’s been strongly pro-war all along and that is a huge money making venture.
Her fucking husband is a lobbyist whose job before that was as a lobbyist for weapons manufacturers.
Before all that, he was her mentor in politics, in case you wondered if every goddamn Republican was grooming someone at some point.
The algorithm is simple. Watch who the billionaires back, then vote for the other option.
Doesn’t always work, Kamala had more billionaires backing her than trump .
Unless you want to advocate voting for Stein, which is fine, you’ll just have to deal with a large chunk of people here caling you a Russian bot.
Unless you want to advocate voting for Stein
-
Trump, an actual Russian asset and known pedophile with deep ties to a fascist tech oligarchs
-
Harris, an empty suit who took the nomination sans primary and immediately handed her campaign to the Cheney family
-
Jill Stein, a perennial fail candidate with no meaningful ties to anyone who mostly just campaigns on climate change and anti-war issues
I mean, if you want the Harm Reduction Candidate, it’s obviously Stein.
But if you’re heavily invested in partisan politics, you just vote straight ticket
Jill Stein has run multiple Presidential campaigns, each one funded by the fucking Russians.
IDK what the hell you’re going on about, but you’ve completely missed the plot with that traitorous bitch.
she was investigated by the senate, and they found that she wasn’t taking funding from russians. this is misinformation

Bullshit. They proved she was a Russian asset.
Here’s a story of her campaigning in 2024 with Russian assets.

Here’s one from 2018 showing the Russians running a social media blitz on behalf of Jill Stein for President.
SORRY BUT YOU’RE JUST WRONG, DUDE. SHE’S A FUCKING RUSSIAN PLANT AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN.
this is all insinuation and innuendo. what I said is the truth.
What you said is technically treason. She’s a traitor and by extension, so are her supporters.
