So are we saying our preferred outcome is for Susan Collins to retain her seat? I have a hard time landing on that as the morally correct choice no matter what is on the other side of the table. I think what does the most good for the most people in this situation is for her to be out of office.

Platner should drop out and they should coalesce around Troy Jackson if he wants to run. Appeal to the base that wanted Platner in the first place and focus on forcing that old corpse Collins out no matter what.

If platner had a long track record of community organizing and working towards the things he has claimed on his platform? I would still not be able to say “Let’s support the rapist nazi” but I would at least understand the logic. He has no political or leadership track record. He said a few things you want to hear and that is it. What he DOES have a track record of is lying. Whether it be blatant lies about a “military history buff” reddit user having no idea what Mitchell and Webb’s totenkopf is or, ya know, all the rape? So we have a wildcard candidate where the only thing we know about him is that he is a rapist nazi. MAYBE it is worth getting someone else on that ticket?
