This article was at the top of my firefox blank tab today. Graham Kkkrakkker is an outsider who is going to shake things up but he’s also getting a lot of positive coverage from the Epstein press, hmmm, interesting.
It reminds me of articles about how Biden wants to do this and Biden wants to do that while all Biden can actually do is slaughter children and eat ice cream.
Also been thinking that the Mills campaign (in the dem primary) against Platner is so bad that it’s actually fake. The dems made her run to make it look less obvious that they want Platner to win. Although it’s kind of an open question if he’ll defeat Collins in November.
My hunch is that it’s not so much that Platner was their man from the get-go, but rather that after AOC, Tlaib, Ilhan, etc, the establishment has stepped up their game in getting their tendrils into nominally progressive outsider candidates early. They’ve realized they can’t ignore them, and brute-force spending them into defeat is unreliable, so now there’s more effort put into weaseling their way into these candidates’ good graces if there’s any sign they might have a realistic shot at winning.
As we have seen in the obamification of Mamdani
Mills is just a conceited old boomer trying to cap off a decades long political career with a Senate seat. She's running for the same reason Biden tried to run for president again and it's going about as well for the same reasons. Hell it wouldn't shock me if she's senile and her aides are just puppeting her to further their careers in Washington.
Platner got recruited by the Bernie people who sort of have some traction in the local labor movement, and the local labor movement hates Mills (with good reason). They really did pull him out of the woodwork. He was a nobody before this and I think it was a surprise to Mills and the state Dems that the Berniecrats put someone forward.
I still wouldn't be too shocked if Mills won the primary despite all this though. Platner is popular with young people but the average voter in Maine is like over 60 and the old folks don't like him.
I haven’t seen a single mills sign anywhere and I’m in the oldest part of an old state. All the ancient demokkkrats I despise are cuckoo for graham kkkrakkker.
