This means he can be replaced with another Democrat
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.
Folk also are too dumb to realize:
IF this was some evil campaign to make the Democrats lose… they would have just waited a week until platner couldn’t be replaced. Why run against anyone but the violent nazi mercenary who rapes people and who knows what else at this point?
Because the AIPAC-supported establishment Dems felt every bit as threatened by Platner as they would by Susan Collins, and would relish the opportunity to replace him while there’s still time…
And THEY chose to wait until the last minute to all but guarantee a loss? Rather than do this any time in the past since there had been plenty of facebook groups and the like that talked about platner being really dangerous and to never date him?
It’s not for lack of trying, as you so astutely pointed out.
Got it. p-hustle was just so strong and mighty that they couldn’t even have thought of “he raped me” as an option until the 11th hour. Yup.
On an unrelated note: Anyone starting to feel like “AIPAC” is being used in the same way as “Soros”? Which is extra fucking shitty since that works into what makes AIPAC so strong to begin with.
Not so much that “he was just so strong” but that earlier attempts were just so transparent. This isn’t the first time they resorted to rape allegations. His first accuser was a republican with “political operative” listed as her occupation on online profiles…
Fuck no, AIPAC has a money trail, and if you think that’s just a baseless conspiracy theory like the Soros nonsense then you need to do a little bit of reading. AIPAC’s outsized influence in US politics is no secret, it’s egregious, and criticism of it should not be dismissed as “anti-semitism.” Stop pulling weight for them.
So… because there is a never ending string of horrible revelations about a guy with a nazi tattoo who joined up with blackwater… that is your evidence of some “AIPAC” conspiracy?
As opposed to him just being a piece of shit.
If I wasn’t already desensitized to “neverending string of horrible revelations” by this point then I don’t know how I would still be staying informed about politics and current events. Vitriol is kind of endemic in our system, if you haven’t noticed.
I’ve heard tankies try to call Mamdani a fascist and a zionist. You think I haven’t grown callous towards anyone trying to smear leftist candidates?
