I know the majority report is very much on the lib side but it's just showing how much people who normally are good at picking out issues candidates have just putting on the blinders because someone said Medicare for All.

Also not the op is a massive AOC stan unsurprisingly.

I just still can't understand how this was the best that so many are willing to rally around. Or honestly there still isn't a bar too low for them to keep defending this guy

Pretty much the only way Graham Platner might lose to US Senator Susan Collins is because of 'character attacks' and such against Platner.

Elections are won by turnout and we need people in Maine to turnout and vote for Platner.

Having at least Graham Platner, Peggy Flanagan, Juliana Stratton, possibly Dr. Abul El-Sayed (if he can win the primary and the general), as US Senators in 2027 will make the US Senate Democratic Caucus far more progressive than it is presently.

You oftentimes need to repeat something 100s of times in politics to finally reach enough of the 'target audience' or those who need to be convinced.

It's not as if Platner is up 20+ points in the high-quality general election polling.

With the best/worst comment coming up as

Most of the people screaming about Platner's character fall into one of two categories: Clintonites who had no problem with Bill's sexual harassment or Hillary's cronies in the DNC putting their thumbs on the scale, or Republicans who had no problem with "grab 'em by the pussy" and "if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her."
