Sucks I will vote for the nazi tattoo guy

@zoo

Maine voter here. Platner will be on the ballot and I will vote for him. He may be another Fetterman or worse but my hope is that he has at some point had a “Come to Jesus moment” and will be a progressive in the Senate. If that CtJ moment happened ten years ago or two doesn’t matter if it is genuine.

More important is to get a D majority if possible

I agree. You’re in a tough position but I think it’s the right decision. A maybe secret Nazi is better than a proven Nazi:

Are there any reasons to reject Graham Platner in Maine

I don’t remotely trust Platner, but being a Republican and voting for Trump nominees, like Collins, is even more dangerous and damaging to the country than the possibility Platner is a secret Nazi. ISTM that voting Platner means some non-zero likelihood that he’s an actual Democrat who will vote to oppose MAGA nominees and policies; voting Collins means that likelihood is zero. If I lived in Maine I’d vote Platner. This is a real test for the “vote blue no matter what” crowd… usually that’s try…
