Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI just donated to Graham Platner's campaign.
I'm not even from Maine.
Know why I did it?
Because I want Susan Collins to lose.

It helps if you know what you are talking about.

Easily one of the most sanctimonious people on this forum. Someone who never has anything good to say about Democrats, and for whom winning elections is strictly a TERTIARY concern. Very low priority. The ideological purity is all that matters to them. Losing is fun, and it feels good when it's done right, seems to be their mantra.
To be clear, there are some great posters here who oppose Platner on principle which I totally respect. This isnt about them.
And while I can't claim to be a Platner enthusiast, I am an avowed hater of Susan Collins. So she needs to go. And I'd donate money to a ham sandwich if I thought it could beat Collins.

All I want is for Susan Collins to lose. I want to go to bed at night and know that her troubled, concerned, unprincipled and contemptible face won't be a problem in 2027.

That being said, I'm still astonished at the choices here, very dismal indeed

(101 posts)against Collins? She was squeaky clean really, maybe some financial questions about her husbands business dealings, but nothing other than that. She easily won the Dem nomination and lost to Collins in the general by 9%.
Platner, warts and all, for the win!

(17,661 posts)If he is relatable to men whose identity tends toward a manhood more like earlier generations, its not a bad thing to have that representation somewhere in the partys big tent.
As a mother of a teen boy a decade ago, I remember feeling that US culture was really lacking for boys. Hard to explain exactly but the compliance and obedience training of grades 1-12 is way too much.
Will he be brave in his arguments to recover America? We need that.
We certainly do NOT need Susan Collins.
