I really hope he doesn't make it out of the primary.
Yeah you've made that clear for months.
It's looking very much like Platner is a Nazi himself
I mean that's just, obviously not true and a clear falsehood. He did have a tattoo that had white nationalist implications. He's got an explanation that seems to have satisfied Maine voters. If you or I think it's disqualifying (I don't), it's irrelevant because Maine voters clearly don't seem to care.
He's doubled up on Mills. His numbers are like, actually ridiculous. It's very clear he's going to win the race. So if Mills does have more oppo proving Platner is a double secret Nazi, bruh they really need to get it out there because at this point he's run away with it.
My read of the current situation is that if national party or AIPAC, or anyone else came in to try and tip the scales in this one, the race goes to the Republican. I think Mainers really don't like being told who they "should" be voting for, especially by the National party.
You can take Platners popularity in spite of the controversy as evidence for this. A Nazi tattoo coming out when you are like, mid launch? That should break most campaigns. But I think because there was so much finger wagging from centrists and corpo Dems, and also since the oppo was tied to Schumer's endorsement, it actually backfired and contributed to buoying Platners support in that rocky time. Mainers just really don't like being told who to vote for.
Mills should drop out if they want to have a political career moving forwards, because they're getting clapped in a way that's going to make it really difficult to run for further office with a loss as bad as this one is shaping up to be. She's a waste of money at this point and a liability to corpo Dems. If you are Schumer you don't want your endorsement to be seen as a curse going into mid terms.
