Idk man, something about him has always screamed bad faith spoiler candidate to me

She will do whatever she thinks is politically expedient for the moment.

Say it honey!!! 👏

Time to start thinking about how Collins will vote on the Blanche AG confirmation. Does she oppose Trump or vote to screw the Epstein victims?

Nothing Platner has been accused of is in the same ballpark of evil as Collin’s vote to confirm Kavanaugh has proven to be. Not remotely. Until and unless something worse surfaces, get behind him. It puts the Platner on its skin, or else it’s gonna lose again.

Yay! Good, good, good. Dems so much do need fresh blood, energy, and focus on working people. Am glad the Dems demanding purity were ignored.

Maine's democratic primary results are always a wild card. Who's Graham Platner and what's his platform?

HAHAHAHAHAH SUCK IT LIBS

Truly sucks.

So the woman abuser with the Neo-Nazi tattoo is your man?

Acceptance speech is FIRE

Ah, shit.

Holy shit not even close. I'm a Mainer and this still surprises me, but I won't be happy until Collins is gone.

Hope more than 16,000 people vote for him in November. Come on Maine, vote💙

That’s a hell of a result.

🙄

That looks like Maine dems are giving a big f u to the far right Platner haters and basically all the media in this country. It’s their state and they don’t need to be told what to do. Unlike some southern states we know.

Good

If he does, blame it on the people who keep on propping him up.

🤞

This is a good thing.

For now…

He was asked that same question months ago...he said THEN nothing else would come out. I have no hope that even if it did....Platners supporters wouldn't ignore that too. They are full blue MAGA now.

Course he will. He has been a fuck up his whole life.

No, he really doesn't. I wan't my politicians real, warts and all. I'm so sick of the coached bs, and so are many others.

I think he said some very good things in his acceptance speech. It went on too long and he rambled a bit but he sure does have the message right. He sounded like he was in a general election race.

stupid

wtf are you talking about he invaded iraq and afghanistan if russias congress or whatever gets a signature on a paper they get to go to your house and kill you, he wanted to kill people and he did gleefully

Is maine really that small? Amazing.

Damn it. I mean I knew he was going to, but still.

he winning by too big lead, hoverer still counting-i think i saw it 10%

Y’all are so mad.🤣🤣

Mainers don’t vote in great numbers.

"I will be a Senator for the people who can't buy a Senator"

JFC. Six years to come up with a candidate and that's the best they can do. A creep. The Democrats just can't get out of their own way. Will not be surprised when he loses. And he will.

Wow, Mills got destroyed

A little bit of both.

Oh, sorry I'm trying to catch up I'm not being on site all day and I went too fast by the posting. Okay.

Final around 200k highest ever for Maine primary

This is going to be a tough ugly race - can’t deny deeply concerned about next ”revelations“ & lines of attack

Earlier today I read an article on NBC I think about how Planter could damage the Democrats in Maine... But wow that's like an explosion 💥 🥂

Oh for chrissakes, relax. No, I didn’t see the tiny little 13 that has no label. I assumed that when someone calls a final result on an election, the graphic they’re using is the final tally.

Hoping he wins and fixes his shit.

So Abott didn't run?

Great, I already have one democrat in my district that votes republican (Golden) Now I might have two 😩

No were pretty happy.

I’m happy to hear that. Because voter enthusiasm is so important. Which is why NYT and WaPost and WSJ all published these accusations 1 week before the primary. Not excusing homophobia & misogyny. But no comparison with Collins complicit in Detention Centers & Paramilitary ICE force.

Platner is not winning the midterm election, 6 more years of collins. The voters on the left will stay home.

Well, the mercy is that this result means we won't have to talk about the Maine Senate race any more. Right?

You plead for silence as if the verdict were already written. Let the man be judged by his deeds, not by your fear of the alternative.

Trump is 100,000 times worse than Platner ever was

Obviously he is lmao Fetterman had a stroke that killed 50% of his brain that's not something that's going to happen again

And Fetterman

No he's not, and even Fetterman is better than the whole lot of Republicans including Collins in the Senate right now.

My understanding is that Fetterman was always like that, and that the red flags were there the whole time. The stroke merely made it more visible. I honestly dont see Platner like that, but some of his policies, specially concerning the military have bothered me. Overall im cautiously optimistic

Well, Sinema was a treacherous, conniving, backstabbing, narcissistic sociopath. We can only hope Platner is not.

Sigh. Strokes out. Not strikes out. Doubt. Not douby. Can’t freaking type.

There’s really no sign of that at all. Fetterman was openly extremely pro-Israel before his election.

Holy crap, for the safety of yourself and those around you, I hope you don't own or operate power tools.

That’s not all the votes.

I hear ya, Mike~ This is absurd What does it take to make some people understand that the “united” states is strong when people UNITE Drink an extra cup of coffee and get movin’ before the doors to our freedom get locked up and sealed I guarantee you, loss of our democracy won’t be fun for ANYONE

It's not the final returns with the total numbers of voters. They'll be in later tonight. The race was called because he's already so far ahead.

100%

It will end up around 200k votes total which is the highest ever for a Maine primary.

It’s been called.

It’s over. Accept it.

I going to assume he's projected to get >50% of the vote count. It's rank choice voting and that's what you need to advance.

Primary Elections only bring out the people who really pay attention. In my state our voter turnout was 38% which is about half our final election. So it's not just Maine. But I agree. More people need to vote!!

Maine has traditionally had historically high voter turnout. When I looked about ten minutes ago, only about 3000 ballots had been counted. Apparently the smaller towns came out for Platner.

1. It's not hard to find the numbers. 2. You yourself cited the figure of 325,974 registered Democrats in Maine. That almost two thirds of them voted in a primary in a non-Presidential year is indeed incredible. You're being naive or disingenuous saying otherwise. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

are you people for real? see that little 13 percent? that's the percent of the vote counted at the time she posted. sometimes I really worry about people here .....

He’s pathetic as usual

On his way to obliterating the record vote tally for a Maine Senate primary.

I so appreciate learning from her.

Wow, close one!

are you people for real? see that little 13 percent? that's the percent of the vote counted at the time she posted. sometimes I really worry about people here .....

Some of it is stupidity, but a good portion is generated by those threatened by him the most. The "elites'. I think people are waking up to the manufactured outrage.

TIL there are fewer than 1.5 million people in the whole state of Maine.

Slam dunk!

what's actually disgusting is all the random blueskyers screaming Nazi, Nazi over a skull and crossbones tattoo. I'm not a Nazi symbologist and I'll bet 95 percent of you ALSO thought of pirates and poison when you saw this symbol before this "controversy". gtfoh with your whining.

good Lord people complaining about the numbers of people voting!!! You do understand what percent reporting means right? it's at 13 percent at time of this vote. sometimes the stupidity on bs astounds me. calm down - votes aren't all counted in an hour!

No wonder Susan Collins keeps winning, if this is what Maine Democrats have to offer.

WITH HIS PROBLEMATIC RECORD WITH WOMEN HE SHOULD NOT BE SENATOR. HE SHOULD BE SECRETARY OF WAR

I’ve finally worked it out. He’s Hulk Hogan. The voice, the moustache, the patriotism, the Platner-maniacs.

Maine voters have spoken. Platner received >50% of the vote.

This Nazi doesn’t belong on a ballot. Just an embarrassment.
