This means he can be replaced with another Democrat

Per the NYT

Graham Platner can be replaced as the Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine if he withdraws from the race by next Monday, and state law would then give the state Democratic Party until July 27 to name a replacement.

      No, if I had stayed home or pissed my vote away on a useless third party THEN I’d be one of the ones who got him elected. I voted.

          Right now, voting against MAGA is priority #1… once they’re fucking exterminated, we can concentrate our efforts on building a better party.

          So rule still applies. Vote furthest left in EVERY election, but vote in EVERY election.

            While I don’t disagree with the need, what you’re saying sounds an awful lot like “We need to drain the swamp and so what if he grabbed them by the pussy or some shit? You gotta do what you gotta do.”

            And I’m just still not down with that.

              I see what you mean…but I’m more interested in the majority than the person right now… The only way we’re ever going to undo the damage is with the majority… I’m hoping that platner stepping down doesn’t kill that plan… And while I’m glad he’s stepped down, I think that a small win for decency might just cost us the ballgame…

              There is no good way to fix this…there are only bad ways…but right now, I just want it fixed.
