@kinsellawarren @MaineDems Merely having the federal Dem party accept & promote Platner has already validated this brand of politics: ZERO standards if "our" candidate might win. Maine is the whitest state in America, and the fallout across the country with Black & Jewish voters will be historic.

This Platner guy had a fucking Nazi SS tattoo. And he's the candidate? I've worked for @MaineDems in the past. I'm hoping they lose now.

@peterjhasson @CAndersonMO These are just the early dossier leaks - it will get so much worse. He's going to lose and vanish in December with Jill Stein's cicada brood, and he'll take the last remnants of any Democratic moral high ground with him.

NEW from @CAndersonMO and me: 'Working Class Mainer' Graham Platner Got $200,000 From His Father To Buy His House, Records Show. He Now Claims He Relied on Veterans Benefits. freebeacon.com/democrats/work…

@RachelBitecofer @lxeagle17 Those most upset by his issues are Black & Jewish Democrats, of whom there are less than 2% respectively in Maine, the #1 whitest state in America, which has what lefties call the "privilege" of electing Nazi Tits Platner, but it would be poison to the Democratic base and brand.

Yes. As long as they stay on counter offense and make a case against Collins (for once) this wave should bring him over. Plus, all his issues- who would you think would be the most upset by him? Progressives, and yet they were willing to ignore it. I’m guessing the swing voters will just like the dude. Apparently people like the dude.

@magine_3037 @grahamformaine @USMC @DeptofWar @SecWar Or maybe this is better?

@grahamformaine @USMC @DeptofWar @SecWar I saw this article posted a couple of days ago on here. It’s stuck with me. Notice how Graham Platner (ex-Kilo Co, 3/8 Marines) carefully said his battalion staked out a mortar launcher in Fallujah, ambushed the insurgents who returned for it, killed them — then burned their bodies. “But it wasn’t my company,” he added. “One of the other companies did that… That was good; that’s how you’re supposed to do it.” He still called it a Marine “calling card” and wished his company had gotten the same revenge. While most likely on terminal leave when this article was written in 2008. These are some heavy accusations from a young Marine to drop on your former battalion. Marine Corps / DOD — any record or investigation into these claims made by Graham Platner? I haven’t been able to find anything about these claims.

@aziz0nomics 💯 I cannot look past this. The worst part by far was "The Democrats" aka DNC website jumping in with both feet as if nothing was wrong. Nauseated by the gaslighting, lack of judgement, and willingness to embrace every red flag that Dems would never accept from a GOP candidate.

If you're at a political rally, and a Nazi shows up at your political rally, and is welcomed to the political rally by the leadership, you are now at a Nazi rally.

@knish_of_death I'd usually leave it blank in such circumstances but could make an exception in the case of Platner. The kind of values-dissolving "anything goes for BernieBros" politics is every bit as bad for Dems as MAGA has been for the GOP. Big, big trouble if it's not beaten the 1st time.

Like come on now. I'm not gonna vote for antisemites. I'm also not going to abandon queer folks, communities of color, fighting climate change, funding for schools, etc.

I wouldn't vote for a Republican if you paid me a million dollars. Sorry, I'm not going to buy into their platform of facilitating human misery and tragedy, or their nativism because some Democrats don't like Israel.

@jonfavs Jon, you talk about platner as if he's a hard luck case who deserves another chance to get his six-months-clean token at rehab. He's runnning for U.S. Senate. You hold him to no standards whatsoever. He has zero qualifications or relevant experience.

Graham Platner isn’t just our best and only chance to beat Susan Collins, he’s a good, decent man who’s struggled and grown and is always trying to do better. I hope everyone with reservations takes a little time to get to know the real life version of him, not what the algorithm throws in our faces. Clearly, that’s what so many people in Maine have done - from all different walks of life and political persuasions.

@grahamformaine Nope

Good morning, Maine!

@Tim_Walz @grahamformaine Nope

I’ll be in Portland tomorrow with @grahamformaine to kick off his campaign to retire Susan Collins.   Let’s go win this thing.

@RachelBitecofer Dems would be out with pitchforks against a republican with platner's pedigree. If he wins, it means the Democratic party now supports a nazi titted mercenary who's in favor of desecrating corpses and said women should wear kevlar panties if they're worried about getting raped.

Dear Democrats, All you need to do to win Maine senate is to come hard after Susan Collins using the GOP’s own playbook against them. Strategy much more important than nominee in that race.

@TheDemocrats Nope - you're losing millions of lifelong Democratic voters and donors for a decade just to pander to Jill Stein voters with this skeleton-ridden nazi-titted idiot, who will hand Collins a win on a silver platner. Great job on the FA side of the equation. Enjoy the FO.

Maine, let’s send an oyster farmer to the U.S. Senate—and kick out Susan Collins.

@HowardA_AtLaw Dems don't appreciate the extent of this FAFO - it's more than just electoral losses: it's the loss of moral high ground, millions of voters nationwide, and their most important donor base in battleground states and beyond. The brain drain from the party will also be monumental.

Crap. Now Ro KKKhana, Chris Murphy, Warren and Bernie get their wish of the nazi being the Dem nominee.

@BriannaWu Yeah, it's really sad to see and plays into the opponents' hands. It's the inverse of the Q4P phenomenon - both feel like vice-signalling and grossly jockeying for who will be one rung higher or lower on today's public bigotry ladder, when really we should be on the same team.

It’s so painful when people I’m aligned with on Israel support the political project to expel trans women from public life. Something the anti-Zionists tell me all the time is if they will turn on me. I don’t think it’s true for most, but it’s definitely true for some.

@_carmen_dioxide I wish someone would simply ask platner how a bill becomes a law it or what he thinks a Senator does all day

There’s no shortage of edgelords On Here who don’t know what the DNC is, but surely a senate candidate should be able to figure it out.

@JanetMillsforME Stay the course and ignore the internet mob. Platner is a terrible candidate, and normal Maine voters dont' support him, certainly not publicly. That's why DSA saboteurs, basement misogynists & foreign troll farms are trying to bully you into dropping out before the first debate

Maine people are my North Star — I'm grateful to have you all in this fight with me.

Folks don't realize how bad it's getting. Every facet of Jewish life is now actively targeted by the conspiratorial activist/academic/Islamist coalition. Synagogues shot up, kids' summer camps defamed & threatened, mobs roaming through Toronto's Jewish neighourhoods, and now this

@noam_dworman @ComicDaveSmith You're doing the lord's work

I asked @ComicDaveSmith 2 years ago if he was being used as a "useful idiot" by the Jew-haters he was associating with.

@BernieSanders Oh Bernie, Platner is his own attack ad. It's not an "attack" to simply restate Platner's own words and show his nazi tattoo. You might also take a moment to notice that he has no qualifications and is a pathological liar. You've completely lost the plot supporting this imbecile.

The Democratic establishment spent millions on negative ads against Platner. The Republican establishment is spending millions on negative ads against Platner. Why? Not complicated. Because Graham is taking on oligarchy and fighting for the working people of Maine and the U.S.

@RachelBitecofer But without primaries, how would Democratic voters learn to viscerally despise each other, and how would future primary losers get scouted to be talking heads on circular firing squad cable TV news panels to help ensure Democrats hyperfocus on issues Americans don't care about?

I.Hate.Primaries.
